Steps to Follow:
- Start with a 22x28 white foam board. Print, assemble and cut the Board Templates. Align the large template along top edge and trace. Align small template to lower right corner and trace. Trim along template lines until board looks as shown.
- Draw a line down the center of the poster using the bottom right corner as a guide. Cover left half with purple construction paper.
- Make a 1 inch green border and attach to the three sides shown.
- Print, assemble and cut the mask template. Trace template onto yellow poster board. Cut out from board and cut out eye holes. Align along outer right edge of poster.
- Add decorative border by cutting 1.5 inch squares in gold and magenta. Our example used gold and magenta holographic board/paper. Attach on green border using glue. Take yellow mask and attach with glue. OPTIONAL: Cut the left eye hole out of the poster to see through both of the eye holes
- Print and cut out lip templates. Trace onto yellow and purple poster board. Place yellow on purple and purple on yellow as shown and secure as shown.
- Make mask pieces and circles using glitter paper and mask part templates. Trace, cut and glue over the eye holes. Make the thin decorative elements using holographic foil papers/boards and the mask element templates. Add a border of self-stick gems around perimeter of mask to add extra dimension.
- OPTIONAL: Add or substitute more elements as you prefer for your poster.
- 8. Adhere the phrase “IT’S TIME FOR” on the poster using 2” precut letters. We used silver glitter letter stickers. Use the M and G template on gold glitter paper. Once cut, adhere with glue to the poster as shown. Complete the words "MARDI GRAS” by attaching the gold glitter letter stickers.
- 9. Arrange colorful feathers into a crown of plumes. Use colors that compliment your poster. Attach with hot glue. Heavy duty tape works
