How to *Not* Paint a Zebra Headdress Mask

The bold black and white stripes on this paper mache Zebra headdress mask will make you stand out in the crowd - or on stage. But but don't paint those stripes the hard way, like I did. 😋

I painted the stripes backwards (you'll do it much faster than I did), but I painted the eyes quickly, and they look great. There's a light yellow line along the bottom, so they can be clearly seen, even from a distance. I had no idea that zebras have such beautiful eyes before I did my research for this project!
