Mask of paper from paper on the head

Recommendations on how to make a mask of a horse from paper on the head:

We start with a frame that is best made from dense cardboard. We will make a horse’s mask in the form of a hat so that it does not cover the face, so it is important that our structure holds tightly on the head.
Cut striped, the length of which coincides with the coverage of the head, and the width is about 4 cm. Next, we cut out 4 more stripes, the length of which is half as much.
Now the main, the longest strip we fasten it With the help of a stapler, like a rim. Cross -shaped connect two small ones - it will be a frame that we attach to the rim. Two remaining small stripes They will become an oval frame, which should also be attached to the base.

We make a cardboard neck rectangle, in length equal to two of our small stripes and about 5 cm in height. We fix it with a stapler. Now we crush the paper of the color we need and stick it onto the mask. We take white paper and cut out the strip, which we glue between the nose and the foot along the entire length.
Now take brown paper and cut out earsLeaving a few millimeters in order to stick to the head. Now we glue from the inside and strengthen on the head.
We also make the mane of paper - white, black, brown, as you like best. You need to cut several smartly thin (up to 1 cm) and short (about 5 cm)stripes and twist them using scissors. Now we glue the curls of the mane along the entire length, starting from the top of the head and ending with the lower part of the neck. In the same way we make horses a bang.
The eyes and nose remained that can be cut out of black paper. The result was a real horse muzzle.

Cut all the details that you need to create horses on the head, Using a template. Both the head and triangular ears make such a size that he corresponds to the face of the child (or an adult if you yourself gathered for the masquerade).
When you received the finished cut parts and cut out the holes for the eyes, take the colors and choose any suit that, in your opinion, corresponds to your image.

Now pay attention to two blue features along the mask - they indicate the places of bendswhich will give the mask volume. For the same purpose, slightly cut the mask in the places of bending from above and glue it so slightly overlapping. The semi -oval holes at the bottom of the fold lines indicate the horse's nostrils and glue them at the bottom.
Stayed earsthat you just need to glue, and the mane. It can also be created from “curled” strips of paper, and it is possible to use threads for knitting, making a bunch of them. Attach all the details using PVA glue.
So that your horse is even more charming, apply black paint around the eyes of the eyes, you can also draw long eyelashes bent upwards. Well, now the matter is at the fastening - it will do for this elasticwhich can be attached with a stapler.

Recommendations on how to make a mask of a horse from paper with polystyrene:

Start by using the finished Internet show or draw a horse's head yourself. Seal the template by pushing it on the cardboard, and then put the color you choose on a sheet of paper: yellow, brown, black, etc. Circle the template with a pencil, and then cut it out of colored paper. Do not forget to cut openings for the eyes.

We will make a bang out of strips of paper a lighter tone than the muzzle, so that it is clearly visible. The length will be enough 5-6 cm, and the width will be up to 1 cm.
Lips (well, if they are stretched in a smile) and the ears are better to carefully cut out of foam pieces, so they will stand out and seem voluminous. They also need to give a color - use the desired color for pasting them with a sheet of colored paper, or simply paint with paints.
