]]> 69643 1 35 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180137/35.jpg Cut the jug With strong scissors, cut the plastic jug in half lengthwise. Turn the jug upside-down: The handle will serve as the mask’s nose. Cut holes for your eyes and mouth with a craft knife. Cut a small hole on each side of the mask, at ear level, for an elastic band.

]]> 69644 2 51 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180137/51.jpg Make paper strips Tear newspaper and white computer paper into strips about one inch by six inches. Shredding the paper by hand works better than cutting it. You’ll need enough pieces to cover your mask with three layers of newspaper and one layer of computer paper, plus some extra paper for molding facial features.

]]> 69645 3 68 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180137/68.jpg Mix up some paste Whisk two cups of flour and one cup of water into a paste, adding a bit more of either, if needed, to reach a gluey consistency.

]]> 69646 4 76 Tip You can also use glue thinned out with water.

]]> 69647 5 79 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180137/79.jpg Dip and press One by one, dip a newspaper strip into the paste, shake off the excess, and lay it flat against the mask horizontally, taking care not to cover the holes. Overlap each strip with a new one. When you’ve finished the first layer, let it dry completely before putting on the next one. This time, apply the strips vertically.

]]> 69648 6 98 Tip If you’re putting away your project for the night, store the unused paste in the refrigerator. The next day, microwave it for one minute before using.

]]> 69649 7 106 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180137/106.jpg Create a face Apply the strips for the third layer horizontally. After you’ve applied three layers, mold some of the newspaper strips into features, like cheekbones and eyebrows.

]]> 69650 8 115 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180137/115.jpg Apply the final layer Make the last layer out of the torn computer paper, applying the strips vertically. The white paper will give you a blank canvas for creating your character.

]]> 69651 9 125 Tip If you live in a damp climate, you can dry the mask on a lightly oiled cookie sheet in an oven set to warm. Check on the mask after about 30 minutes.

]]> 69652 10 134 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180137/134.jpg Decorate When the mask is completely dry, decorate it with paint, feathers, glitter, sequins, beads, fabric, rhinestones, or whatever will make it your own!

]]> 69653 11 144 Fact At 12 to 16 feet tall and several feet wide, the Igbo ijele mask is one of the largest ceremonial masks made in Africa.
