Macnas At Home
Episode 3 - Mask-Making
Presented by Dave Donovan
Welcome to the third video in this special series, from magic-makers Macnas, created for Bram Stoker Festival 2020! Today Dave will guide you in making masks.
Inspired by the friends and adventures of The Boy Explorer, let your imagination run wild as you start to think about what wonderful, otherworldly character you want to create this Hallowe’en.
Masks can be a key part of your character transformation, and are easy to make from things you have at home, with a big impact!
Materials you will need:
A3 sheet of card in the colour of your mask OR two sides of a cereal box!
A4 card in assorted colours OR use a cereal box and have fun painting it bright colours.
Scissors
Pencil
Paper plate (about 9 inch diameter) or a piece of cardboard cut into a circle.
Elastic
Stapler (when stapling, close the staples on the outside of mask to avoid scraping face)
Glue (PVA [takes a while to dry but is washable] or UHU [dries quickly, does not wash out of clothes, tendency to go stringy, and smells a bit] or Copydex [dries faster than PVA, does not wash out of clothes, and smells a bit]).
Materials for decorating the mask, feathers, leaves, string, glitter, paint etc.
Lots of patience!
In tomorrow’s episode, we’ll learn all about Sounds & Drumming!
On Hallowe’en 31st October, we invite you to upload your creations to social media using the hashtag #BramStokerMacnas, for the whole world to see!
