Crazy simple materials right? We’ll show you how to transform them into a classy Halloween disguise!
Once you have a design in mind, start cutting shapes out of the stiffened felt. For this mask we cut out felt feathers to make a frosty white bird mask!
Next, peel off the VELCRO® Brand Sticky Back for Fabrics, stick both sides to the back of your felt shapes, and stick them directly onto your mask.
We layered up a whole mess of feathers to give this bird mask some serious texture!
For small shapes, you can always cut the VELCRO® Brand Sticky Back for Fabrics in half and use the smaller strips to secure them.
Once you’ve attached all your felt shapes to your mask, its time to add a glittery edge! Squeeze out a small amount of glitter glue, and lightly brush it onto the edges of your felt shapes.
Check out that ice cold bird!
For bonus costume points, switch out your white shapes with black for a midnight transformation! The VELCRO® Brand Sticky Back for Fabrics makes it easy to switch out pieces and take on a whole persona half way through the night!
We took a look at the felt remnants left behind from this mask and couldn’t help but make another one! #thriftychic
A few more VELCRO® Brand strips and a coat of glitter glue later, and you’ve got an eerie night sky mask complete with tree branches and glittery bats!
Vogue, Halloween edition.
We added one more goofy number, with interchangeable eyebrows, mustache, and hat applied to the mask, plus two additional props: a monocle and bowtie!
Reinforce hand-held props with VELCRO® Brand Sticky Back for Fabrics and a second layer of felt. You can also construct bowties with interchangeable bow shapes.
This chick is ready to hit the town, no additional costume required!
Friends who DIY together, stay together.
Oh..and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
