Of course, you can buy a ready-made one at the store. *But it is better to use your imagination and make this accessory yourself. *Below, we will tell you how to make a DIY New Year’s mask quickly and easily.

Openwork mask
Couldn’t find a ready-made party mask at the store? No problem.
You can make an openwork mask yourself that will suit any outfit. It is quite easy and quick to make. What is more, the materials are often found in every home and are inexpensive.
You will need:
*a small piece of stiff openwork mesh;
*a hot glue gun;
*paper, a pencil, regular scissors, and thin tape;
*a sewing tape measure;
*satin ribbon;
*plastic wrap;
*a tube of stained-glass outliner paint.
Making it
With the materials on the table, you can begin. First take the necessary measurements and sketch them on paper. Then prepare a template with the main outlines. Use your imagination here, embellishing it with patterns and various swirls. You can also use a ready-made template.
Now cover the drawing with plastic wrap. Place a small piece of openwork mesh on top. It is best to secure the edges with tape. Next, trace the outline of the mask with stained-glass paint. Do not forget the eye openings. Then repeat the drawn openwork motifs. Apply the outliner in a thick layer to give the pattern dimension.
Leave the partially finished mask for the paint to dry. Then separate the mesh from the plastic wrap. All that remains is to cut out the mask. Satin ribbon works well for ties. Attach cut pieces to the back using a hot glue gun.
The mask is ready. It will suit absolutely any outfit.
An openwork mask like this will give your look a touch of mystery and style.
