Getting ready for the New Year is not only buying dresses and setting the table, but also preparing a beautiful mask for your child. In this article, you will learn how to create a beautiful Rat, Mouse mask.
The paper Rat mask will be especially relevant and in demand during the New Year holidays - after all, the next year, 2020, will be held under the sign of this animal. Therefore, now is the time to think and choose a mask option in which you or your child will celebrate this holiday.
Paper mask Rat, Mouse on the head
- This is the simplest and least expensive option, for which, on the Internet, you can also download a ready-made template and only slightly “polish” it. How to do it?
- To get started, decide from the many options with the one that suits you the most. Print it out using a color printer. As an option - print in black and white, and then color it with your own hands. Or discover your artistic gift and try to draw a mask yourself. By the way, you can not draw eyes, nose, mouth, but cut out from sheets of colored paper and glue in the right places.
- Take scissors and cut out the outline. If you compact Rat mask on the head or Mouse mask for children, sticking it on cardboard, cut it out with a small “margin”, so that later, cutting out the cardboard base along the contour, bend the mask and additionally fix it with glue at the back. Although, if the printer model allows, you can immediately print the template on thick paper, and not on plain paper.
- Well, your mask is almost ready - you only need to cut holes for the eyes and pierce(you can use a hole punch) holes for attaching the mask. Whatever you use as a fastener - an elastic band, ties, a cardboard hoop, etc. - first measure the circumference of the head and focus on it, calculating how long the strings will be. It remains to fasten the ties - and you're done!
Mask made of paper Rat, Mouse on the head in the form of a hoop
- This Paper Rat, Mouse Mask even easier. You only need to find a drawing of a rodent face on the Internet and print it out, setting the appropriate size. Again, you can draw yourself or colorize the black and white image.
- Now make a rim out of cardboard, focusing on the volume of the head, and attach the cut-out image of the Rat to it. Then glue the edges of the resulting hoop together or secure with a stapler, bending the staples outward so as not to accidentally scratch your head.
- It remains to decide what gender your Mouse-Rat is, and, if desired, provide it with a bow or a fun cap. AND headband mask Mouse ready.
Mask of the Rat, Mouse on the head of felt
- Naturally, felt is more comfortable for Rat, Mouse mask- it is softer, does not rub the face, gently adhering to it, creates more volume. This material can be stitched, glued, etc.
- stock up in advance gray, black and pink felt pieces and, as in the previous options, use the proposed template.
- From it you can cut out all the details necessary for the rat's face so as not to draw them. Now transfer the outline of the paper mask onto the gray fabric twice, so that you have the front side of the mask and its back side.
- From a piece of pink felt, cut out the middle parts of the mouse's ears, and from black - a nose. Now all the details need to be carefully cut out and sewn with threads that match in color, making neat identical stitches (when hand sewing).
- After the sewing stage - the turn of embroidery. This is how you can make a mustache for a Rat mask. We cut out slits for the eyes and fasten an elastic band on the sides, on which our mask will hold. To do this, the edges of the tie must be placed between the front and back sides of the mask and sew both parts together.
Rat, Mouse head mask made of foam rubber
- This rubber is also called foamiran is a thin synthetic material that is comfortable to work with, as it can be cut, glued, painted, etc.
- We act according to the same algorithm: we start by printing out a template, which we then attach (possibly with the help of invisibility) to the foamiran and draw around the contour. Then we cut holes for the eyes and cut out the Rat or Mouse mask. You need to cut out more round ears and glue them on top of the mask.
- Now glue the ties and decorate as desired mask for the new year, because everyone has their own imagination and vision of the image of the Rat. You can make a mask in the same way as a felt mask - in two parts and fasten the ties between them, so they will hold on more securely.
Rat, Mouse mask on the head from a plastic plate
Rat mask, Mouse on the head from a plastic plate:
- Take a plastic plate and make cuts for the eyes in it, having previously measured the necessary parameters of the face. Cover the resulting mask with gray paint, preferably aerosol, it lies more evenly. But if there is no spray can at hand, both watercolor and gouache will do.
- While the paint dries, take care of the ears - they can be made using the same felt, paper, cardboard. Fasten the ears with PVA glue at the back, and draw a muzzle or recreate it from improvised means: buttons, leather (nose), thread or soft wire (mustache), etc.
- Now, using an awl or a hole punch, make holes for the elastic around the edges of the mask and secure. You can do without ties by making a mask on a stick, which has its own plus. There is no need to measure the length of the elastic, and the size of the Rat mask or the Mouse mask in this case will suit anyone: both a child and an adult.

How to make a paper bat mask for halloween
In order to completely transform into one or another character, you can’t imagine better than a costume with a mask. Especially if the bat mask can be made independently from improvised materials in just 5-10 minutes.
Necessary materials:
Step by step photo lesson:
On black paper, draw the silhouette of a bat with outstretched wings. To make all the lines clearly visible, you can use a white pencil. Then, with scissors, carefully cut out the mask along the pencil lines.
On each wing (near the body) draw a silhouette for the eyes. You can depict them in the form of a silhouette of the eyes, in the form of geometric figures of a circle or an oval.
With small scissors or a clerical knife, carefully cut out openings in the eye mask. Check that they are the same size and shape. Correct if necessary.
With a silver or white gel pen, draw a reflection of wool from moonlight on a bat. If there is no such material, then you can use ordinary gouache. For a thin application, take a brush with numbers from 0 to 3.
Then we measure the required length for tying the bandage. We take a black waxed cord or ribbon for this.
On the reverse side of the mask, attach the ends of the cord, seal with small pieces of adhesive tape or apply glue.
We give the glue to dry well and we get the finished bat mask in just a short period of time. Such a mask can be used both in games and for Halloween or New Year.
How to make a carnival mask "Bat"
Ah, carnival, wonderful world.
Need a mask? Easy! All you need is paper and a knife.
We fasten two sheets of paper with a stapler and cut out two wings of the mouse at the same time according to the scheme.
In the places of division of the wings and the inner side of the wing, we put a wire on the wrong side, and on the front side we make an embossing, clamp the wire on both sides with tweezers and draw a line.
Cut out the base of the mask, run through the lines (so that the mask keeps its shape in the spout area on the wrong side, we glue a strip of paper) and fold. 
We carefully glue the wings to the base of the mask, apply the glue dotted in the area of the nose and eyes.
Cut out the mouse, run along the lines, fold. For the body: cut random strips of paper and imitate fur.
Glue the fur to the body of the mouse, starting from the bottom up.
Glue the finished mouse to the wings.
