Top tip: For safety reasons, always make sure you use a paper bag and never a plastic bag to make this mask.

Another idea: Clown

Step one
Carefully cut the handles off the paper bag using the scissors.

Step two
Cut two eye holes in the front of the paper bag, as shown - you might need to get a grown-up to help with these first two steps.

Step three
Carefully apply one coat of Resene Quick Dry to the outside of the paper bag and allow to dry for one hour.

Step four
Carefully paint the paper bag with two coats of Resene Limelight, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.

Step five
Using an artists’ brush, paint in the hair and face details with Resene Nero and allow to dry for two hours.

Step six
Using a smaller artists’ brush, paint in the teeth with Resene Alabaster. Leave to dry for two hours, then put on your mask and get spooking!
