Milk Jug Mask

Supplies: milk jug, scissors, acrylic paint, foam, hot glue, a whole punch, raffia, and masking tape.

I really wanted an African theme for my mask but to still make it my own. I drew out the basic shape I wanted my mask to be and used scissors to cut it out. (The seams of the milk jug are super hard to cut through. It's possible just hard.) I then covered the entire mask in masking tape. From there I painted my mask and added designs I felt were appropriate. I still felt like my mask needed more so  I took some foam and using my scissors carved out some eye lids and lips to create some depth to my mask. I painted them with acrylic paint and then hot glued the foam onto my mask. Using a whole punch I made holes in my mask and then tied raffia to my mask to create some literal texture. This was super fun and turned out really nice. Fairly inexpensive project to do.
