Over the weekend, John and I went to the American Cancer Society's black and white masquerade ball. It was in a beautiful space and had amazing food. It was a great fundraiser, and I wanted to share some pictures and how I made my mask with you!
To make your own mask, you will need:
- A plain, paper mask
- Pencil
- Puffy paint
- Spray paint (I used both a black glossy paint and a silver glitter paint)
|
Draw your design |
|
Puffy paint over the design and allow to dry completely |
|
Spray paint the mask on a protected surface and allow to dry |
Then, I added layer after layer of glitter spray paint, creating an ombre effect toward the edges. Finally, simply string on some elastic, and you're done!
|
Dress: Laundry by Design
Jewelry: Ann Taylor |

John took a slightly different approach to the masquerade... :) |
