If a child wants to be dressed up for a holiday, it is not necessary to buy an expensive carnival costume. After all, next year the child will outgrow it, and will he want to be in the same outfit again? Therefore, you can make a mask out of paper, and choose bright and elegant clothes.

If you have red cardboard, then you can immediately cut the hat out of it.But if you don’t have one, then you need to first make a hat out of cardboard, and then stick colored paper on it.
To make a pom-pom hat, take a piece of cardboard and determine the location where the clown's hat will be. Draw it with a pencil.

for gluing parts


Place the blank cap on red paper and make markings.

Apply glue to the workpiece and glue it to colored paper. Cut along the outline.

For pompoms, cut out circles from colored cardboard, tracing, for example, the cap of a plastic bottle.

cut out the pom poms


There should be twice as many circles as there are protrusions on the cap.
Spread one circle with glue, attach one of the cones of the cap to it and cover it with another circle, which you should also spread with glue.

Apply glue to one circle


Glue all the pompoms like this.

To make hair, cut a long strip of yellow paper 4 cm wide. Make a fringe along the entire length, without cutting 1 cm to the opposite edge, and make small notches on the opposite side so that the strip fits better along the contour.

To do hair


Apply glue to the edge of the uncut strip along the entire length and glue it to the back of the cap. Comb your “hair” up.

Try the clown on again and carefully glue the cap on.

give the clown a fitting


For the collar, take a sheet of cardboard and attach it as shown in the photo.
Use a pencil to outline the two parts of the collar.

For the collar


Choose the color as desired. Use a pencil to outline the bottom of the face on a piece of cardboard. Lubricate the top of the collar blank with glue and place the almost finished mask on it exactly to the line.

Choose color as desired

glue your mouth


Glue colorful circles onto the collar.
To prevent the eye sockets from appearing empty, take a small sheet of light green or blue paper, make round holes, having first measured the distance between the centers of the child’s pupils.

make round holes


And glue the strip to the back of the mask. Draw small eyelashes.
To prevent the mask from moving off the face, it must be secured to the headbands. Cut two long strips of cardboard. On one of them, connect the ends so that it matches the volume of the child’s head. And glue the second strip on top, making it like a hat.

attach to the headbands


Glue the mask to the strip so that it fits well on your head. You can also glue thin elastic bands on the sides of the mask.

stick colorful circles


And the final touch. If you want the clown to have painted lips, cut out a mouth from red paper as shown in the photo and glue it on. Place the red circle on the tip of the buffoon’s nose.
The clown mask is ready!
