The fox, along with the wolf, the bear, is the most famous character in children's fairy tales and fairy tales. In this article, you will learn how to make a fox mask with your own hands and what is needed for this. You will need very little effort, time and materials.
How to make a plain paper mask?
To make an inexpensive mask, buy colored paper for children's art, glue, felt-tip pens and two strings. You will need paper or cardboard in four colors - orange, light orange, red and black. First, cut out the silhouette of the fox's muzzle from black paper. Then, from the orange sheet, cut out another silhouette about one centimeter smaller than the previous one. Next, cut out the silhouette of the nose and eyes from light orange paper. Also make two small triangles for the ears. From black cardboard, make a small triangular nose and mustache. From a red sheet, cut out beautiful thick eyebrows. Glue all parts together. Tie strings on the sides of the fox mask. The mask is ready!
What do you need to make a felt fox mask?
You will need the following materials: hard felt two to three millimeters thick (orange, black and white), thread, needle and elastic. At firston paper, draw a template for the muzzle of a fox. Cut it out and attach it to the orange felt. Circle the template with chalk and cut out the fox's muzzle already from felt. In the same way, make white cheeks, a nose and white triangles from felt, which you will sew to the ears. Sew cheeks, nose and white triangles to the muzzle. The fox is almost ready! If it seems to you that the mask is not tough enough, then you can sew another layer of felt or cardboard to the wrong side. In this case, your product will not wrinkle much. You can also decorate your fox mask by embroidering a black mustache and eyebrows on it. In addition, it can be decorated with artificial or natural fur.
Fox fur mask
Fox fur masks are incredibly beautiful. To create such a product, you must first cut out the base in the form of a muzzle from thick and durable cardboard. The muzzle can be made voluminous by cutting out additional parts and gluing them together. It is better to connect parts of cardboard not just with tape, but with pieces of paper soaked in PVA glue. After the base is ready, immediately sew the ropes to it for attaching to the head. Then take the fur of red, white and black. Stick it on as shown in the photo. Please note that the direction of the fur fibers should go from the nose to the ears.
What else can you make a fox mask out of?
You can make it not only from cardboard, fur or felt. If you want a fox head mask that is strong and durable, thenit can be molded from polymer clay. But be aware that this material will need to be baked in the oven to become solid. You can try to make a mask from self-hardening clay, but then it will most likely become too fragile.
Also, fox masks work well using the papier-mâché technique. To do this, you will need to buy a certain amount of art or children's plasticine and mold a muzzle model out of it. Then take a newspaper and tear it into small pieces. Soak these scraps in PVA glue and glue over the muzzle of the plasticine fox. Make three to ten layers in this way. Remember, a large number of layers will make your fox mask stronger and more durable.
After all the layers have dried, remove the plasticine from the mask. Now the product can be painted! Acrylic paints are best suited for this purpose. After the paint is completely dry, varnish the mask. Make holes on the sides of the product with an awl and thread the ropes into them. The mask is ready!
