Sometimes, I get a project idea which demands to be listened to. Last night, I got the itch to make a feather-y mask out of washi tape. Must be the call of Halloween! Anyway, it turned out quite nicely, so I thought I'd share - maybe inspire you to try something a little different with your washi tape stash too!
A little look at the construction process. I started with a basic handmade mask shape - but a store-bought paper mask would work just as well, if not better. Then I applied layers of washi tape feather shapes around the eyes and up from the nose to the crown. Finished with a few sequins here and there for sparkle and around the eyes to mask (ha ha) tape ends.
Finally, I added a card stock beak - taking the mask from Carnaval extra to magical beast.
Have you ever tried working with tape in a 3-dimensional way? I also think it's lovely for flowers, pleats and ruffles!
