Three New Bird Mask Patterns for Mardi Gras and Fancy Dress Parties

These downloadable bird mask patterns are made with cereal box cardboard and paper mache. They tape together quickly, so you can get right to the fun part - adding your paint, feathers and imagination to create unique masks for Mardi Gras, Halloween or a fancy dress party.

You can now find the templates for these three masks at https://www.UltimatePaperMache.com/bird-masks

The birds in this mask collection are an Umbrella Cockatoo, a Himalayan Monal Pheasant, and a Guinea Turaco.

If you'd like to see the video about tape mache, something I experimented with last week, you can find it here: https://youtu.be/QhQqVHsddlA

I used some paints I've never used before when I finished these bird masks, and although they aren't essential, they were a lot of fun to play with. I bought the feathers from amazon.com, but you could make your own feathers if you want to. I have a video showing you how here: https://youtu.be/RRuUkN2ujf8

If I missed any links that I should have included, please let me know. And if you know of a glue that could be used instead of the E6000 in cases where the hot glue might not be strong enough, please put your recommendation in the comments below.
