Simple King Masquerade Mask
With Purim starting on Wednesday night everywhere except Jerusalem (where Purim is one day later) the rush is on, so I have a few simple costume ideas for you, which could come in handy right about now? Truthfully these ideas are part of a larger costume which I’ll be presenting shortly, but first things first, how about a simple king masquerade mask to complete your Purim look? The supplies are inexpensive and you can whip this one up in a few minutes, for yourself or a whole group of kings, queens, princes and princesses, all in masquerade! Store bought masquerade masks are a great way to make a quick costume, and hopefully this simple idea will get your gears turning. Lets get started……
You’ll Need:
- a plastic masquerade mask with ties, I love the gold
- felt
- hot glue
How To: This is self explanatory, though truthfully I was thinking of making some elaborate curling eyebrows and even some horns, but in the end decided to keep it simple as this was for a 6 year old child, and more would have overwhelmed the rest of the costume.
If this mask is basically the costume, go to town, just be sure to use a few thicknesses of felt so it won’t flop over and/or attach some wire to the back or inside the felt sandwich, for stability and even making fun shapes. Enjoy!
