In this clip, I will show you how to make a masquerade mask. The first thing you want to do for this exercise is to go down to your local craft store and buy a a mask, feathers, or whatever else you'd want to put on a mask. You can be creative, all right. You want to take the hot glue gun. Try not to burn yourself; I've done it many times, and glue the feathers onto the mask. Hot glue guns work very well because you can still move em' around a little bit before it dries if you don't if you don't quite get the right place. You want to make sure that you put all the edges of the feathers together so that when you're done you can put one feather over it to cover all those pieces like that. In order to give the mask a little more personality you want to highlight or draw any sorts of designs onto the mask. You don't always have to work with just feathers. You can put whatever you want on it. All right, I am on my last two feathers. You're going to make it look a little exotic here and make sure the feathers go off of the mask. Kind of looks like a cat a little. There's one more, all right. You don't have to always use feathers. You can add other random little objects. In this case, we're going to put some beads on here. Try not to burn yourself. Be very careful, like I just did. And there you have it.
