How To Troll Mask

Mask making is great fun for fancy dress parties, and can be done my children with just a little help. In this step by step guide Corina Bona, professional prop and puppet maker, makes a paper plate ogre mask.

You Will Need

  • paper plates
  • string
  • 1 stapler
  • scissors
  • pritt stick
  • coloured pens
  • assorted decorative materials

Method

Measure how far apart your eyes are, then mark it on the back of the paper plate. Cut out the eye holes with your scissors.

Draw on any facial features you like with the marker pen, and colour it it. You can stick on tissue paper to make the eyebrows, hair, beard and cheeks.

Staple the string at either side of the eyes. Measure how much string you need to keep the mask tight to your face, and tie a knot.
