Do-it-yourself papier-mâché carnival mask: a detailed master class. Papier-mache mask presentation How to paint a papier-mache mask

Before the holidays, it's time to think about the right outfit. And if this is a children's New Year's party, a carnival party or even a masquerade ball, then perhaps the most important accessory of the invented image should be a face mask. To date, on sale you can find a lot of bright and colorful masks and choose the one that fits the chosen outfit. But papier-mâché masks created with your own hands from available materials will look much more harmonious and interesting.

"Papier-mache" is translated into our language as "torn paper", which fully reflects the essence of this material. Papier-mâché is nothing more than paper pulp with the addition of PVA glue or paste for paper bonding. It is best to use old newspapers to prepare the mass with your own hands, the paper of which is most suitable for papier-mâché, but in the absence of the proposed material, they can be replaced with toilet paper, paper napkins or towels.

Previously, before you start creating a face mask with your own hands, it is important to worry about choosing the basis for it.

For this, a number of methods for manufacturing various bases can be proposed.:

1. An old face mask. A simple mask without any extra bumps can be used as a base. It is only worth remembering that before covering it with papier-mâché mass, it is worth wrapping the surface of the old mask with cling film to avoid the material sticking to the base.
2. Inflated balloon ik. The most suitable base for beginners. Thanks to the smooth rubber surface, it will be easy to make a mask, since the papier-mâché will not stick to the base and after the material hardens, the balloon can be easily removed.

Papier-mâché face mask

The problem with many purchased carnival masks is that they do not fit snugly on a person’s face, which in turn leads to its constant slipping. But during the holiday you want to have a good time, and not constantly correct the annoying accessory. Therefore, an accessory made with your own hands based on a cast of your face will be a great solution, because the mask will not only look original, but the canvas will also sit, which means it will cause less inconvenience.

To make a cast of the face yourself, you can use sculptural clay.

A sufficient amount of material must be carefully kneaded in the hands and give it the shape of a pancake with a layer thickness of about two centimeters. After that, the resulting pancake is applied to the face (before this procedure, it is recommended to lubricate the skin with a cream with a greasy texture) and carefully shape the shape of the face into plasticine.

They remove the plasticine form from the face very carefully so as not to damage the result of the procedure performed, and lay it on the work surface. After that, the base for the mask, made by hand, is ready.

But this method has one undoubted minus - not every person may have sculptural clay at hand. Therefore, the basis for manufacturing can be made from a more affordable material - food foil. The foil must be folded several times so that the resulting web is sufficiently hard, but at the same time easily takes the desired shape. After that, the resulting piece of foil is applied to the face and with the help of finger pressure, we give the foil the shape of the face.

The almost finished base must be removed, if there is, to correct irregularities and make cuts in the foil for the eyes and nose. The resulting shape can be corrected by adding plasticine to it in the right places. After that, the base is wrapped in cling film and it is ready for papier-mâché.

Papier-mache masks: instructions for making

During a small master class, you will learn how to make a mask on your own and about several options for its design.

In order to make the desired mask, you need to collect some materials and tools that will be needed during the creation of the accessory, namely:

• The basis for the mask.
• Paper (newsprint, toilet paper or paper napkins).
• Water.
• Glue (it is preferable to use PVA).
• Brush.
• Dyes, ribbons, feathers, beads, or other decoration material.

To make the necessary accessory from papier-mâché, you need to follow step by step general instruction, which will help to carry out the whole process from kneading paper pulp to decorating the finished mask.

Instruction:

1. Finely tear the paper into small pieces and soak them in a solution of water and glue. In this case, glue and water are taken in a ratio of one to one.
2. Cover the hand-made form with the resulting papier-mâché and wait for the mixture to dry completely.
3. After drying, the resulting workpiece must be carefully removed from the base so as not to spoil the outlines.
4. We make the necessary holes for the ties so that the mask can stay on the face.
5. Then you can decorate the mask, according to the wishes and the chosen outfit.

How to paint a papier-mâché mask

Before decorating the resulting workpiece, it is necessary to draw the outlines of the desired shape on its surface with a pencil or felt-tip pen. Next, along the outlined contour, carefully cut out the final shape of the mask. After that, you can apply the necessary paints and decorations.

The most common design option is the Venetian mask, made in the Italian style. When designing a mask, you can use combinations of several colors for the background of the mask, various feathers and ribbons as decoration.

Another of the most popular design examples is a cat (cat) mask, which will look relevant at any theme party.

The main attribute of a hand-made accessory is the ears, which can be made from any material or immediately give the appropriate shape to the workpiece.

Also, as an imitation of animal fur, you can use ordinary feathers for decoration or artificial fur.

For boys, the most relevant outfits are the images of superheroes (Batman, Spiderman), the main attribute of which is the mask. Looking at the faces of the characters, you can try to make their papier-mâché masks, the main thing is to use an identical color scheme.

The examples listed are not the only options for decorating carnival masks with your own hands, for example, you can choose an African style using a brown palette and stretching out the shape of the mask, or create your own, embodying your imagination and sense of style.

Papier-mâché masks from the USSR

In the Soviet Union, carnival masks were an attribute inseparable from organized Christmas trees, children's matinees and carnivals. Most often at these festivities one could meet various animals (hares, chanterelles, cockerels, bears, wolves) and fairy tale characters(Babu Yaga, Koshchei the immortal, Chipolino).

A feature of such masks was the bright saturated colors used to decorate accessories.

Today, such masks are very rare on store shelves, most often they can be purchased only from individuals who have preserved such masks. But if you really want to make a splash at the upcoming event, then you can try to reproduce this accessory yourself. To do this, you need only a little free time and the ability to work with your hands and papier-mâché masks in the style of past years will make a splash at any thematic event.

Technology

You will need: basic materials: a kitchen bowl, old newspapers, adhesive tape, paste or wallpaper paste, gouache paints or the like, brushes; additional materials: Moment glue, sequins, gel sequins, beads, pieces of textile and fur, yarn remnants, etc.; and most importantly, a little patience and good mood!

slide 3

Newspaper sheets must first be crumpled, then straightened and formed into two dense cylindrical bundles - for the nose and eyebrow line. Then roll up a ball - for the chin. We fix the received parts with adhesive tape at the bottom of the bowl. This is the shape for the future mask.

slide 4

Crumple the newspaper sheet, wet it with water, straighten it and spread it over the surface of the mold, carefully repeating its relief.

slide 5

Now it's the turn of working with a paste (glue), which should be thick enough. Small pieces of paper, well saturated with glue, are evenly applied to the first sheet of newspaper, slightly overlapping. There should be at least five such layers, applied in two approaches.

slide 6

Now the mask needs to be dried well. And while it dries, you can do a sketch of the painting, for example, based on African masks.

Slide 7

The dried mask must be carefully removed from the mold and evenly cut the edge. Now let's start painting. You need to start with large color spots, and finish with small details. We decorate the product according to your taste with additional materials. If necessary, we make holes for the eyes and cover with varnish. You are ready for the carnival!

Justification of the project The theme of our design work- making a papier-mâché mask. We were a little familiar with the papier-mâché technique earlier, we made small and not complicated little things in a circle - plates, vases, beads. At the technology lesson, the teacher introduced us to the papier-mâché technique and offered to make masks in the form of a panel. It seemed to us that this lesson was interesting, because the work can be designed in different ways, to show your imagination and creativity. The finished panel will decorate my room and remind me of technology lessons in 8th grade. So, we need to draw up an algorithm of actions for making panels in the papier-mâché technique and get down to business.

The history of the appearance of papier-mâché As TSB points out: “Papier-mache (French papier mâché), literally chewed paper), an easily shaped mass obtained from fibrous materials (paper, cardboard, etc.), usually with the addition of adhesives, starch, plaster, etc. Toys are made from papier-mâché, study guides, dummies, theatrical props, caskets, caskets, vases, often decorated with painting, varnishing, embossing. A very wide range of products was made from papier-mâché: snuff boxes, caskets, toys, masks, trays, architectural stucco for walls and ceilings, candlesticks, mirror frames, decorative panels for walls, doors, carriages, as well as various products. Papier-mâché was invented in France in the early 16th century and was originally used to make dolls. The huge interest of the public in imported Chinese and Japanese lacquered decorative products was around the 70s of the 17th century the impetus for the development of the production of papier-mâché products in Europe.

Description of the slide:

Papier-mache technique Before starting work, the model must be covered with a layer of Vaseline. Next, the model is pasted over with paper using the papier-mâché technique. We tear the newspaper into small pieces. The layers should be in the following order: The first layer of papier-mâché consists of plain paper. When the entire mask is covered with paper, you can make the next layer on the glue. To make the mask smooth, rigid and waterproof, it is important to press each piece well, removing air bubbles. The third layer is thicker paper. It should be stuck especially carefully, and smeared with thick glue; Plain paper. Cotton fabric should be finely chopped and soaked in diluted glue. This layer threatens the appearance of wrinkles. Therefore, with a solid object, you need to constantly push through all the necessary "features of the relief" so that they do not disappear under the layers of material, and remove unnecessary ones. When gluing pieces of fabric on the bulge, you can get "pockets" - pieces that have nowhere to stick or that form these very folds. They need to be cut with scissors.

When the glue sets wet wipe or just use your hand to rub the junctions of the pieces of paper or cloth to smooth out the bumps. After all this, the glued model is dried. It is necessary to dry the mask at room temperature for 3-4 days, without removing it from the model, in order to avoid deformation, the mask can be covered with stretch velvet, crepe satin and, in general, almost any fabric. We take the fabric in the shape of the mask approximately, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe eyes, carefully cut it with an allowance, and glue it, wrapping the edges inward. When it sticks, stretch the edges and glue them inward too. The fabric is secured with super glue. It is better to take elastic material, so as not to lay down in folds. From the inside, the mask is also glued with a cloth.

The history of the emergence of papier-mâché As TSB points out: “Papier-mache (French papier mâché), literally chewed paper), an easily shaped mass obtained from fibrous materials (paper, cardboard, etc.), usually with the addition of adhesives, starch, gypsum, etc. Toys, teaching aids, dummies, theatrical props, caskets, caskets, vases, often decorated with painting, varnishing, embossing are made from papier-mache » From the point of view of today's classification, papier-mache is a structural composite material and it can be considered, for example, as one of the precursors of fibreboard. Like fiberboard, papier-mâché is made up of cellulose fibers and a small amount of glue. Papier-mâché was invented at the beginning of the 16th century in France and was originally used to make dolls. The huge interest of the public in imported Chinese and Japanese lacquered decorative items was around the 70s of the 17th century the impetus for the development of papier-mâché products in Europe. , architectural moldings for walls and ceilings, candlesticks, mirror frames, decorative panels for walls, doors, carriages, as well as a variety of products.

The choice of materials For the manufacture of papier-mâché, you will need: glue, material for the model, plain paper (it should easily soak, but not turn into mush - the newspaper fully meets these requirements), thicker paper to give the product greater rigidity and strength: magazine, writing , Kraft paper (sometimes found in the mail) or half-cardboard soaked in water, a piece of cotton fabric or a bandage, scissors, petroleum jelly, brushes. PVA glue diluted with water is well suited for gluing. If there is no time to run after PVA, you can cook a paste from starch or flour. In the first case, starch at the rate of 2-3 tablespoons per liter of water is dissolved in a small amount of cold water, mixed thoroughly, and topped up with boiling water. Or dilute flour in cold water, add boiling water (a glass of flour per liter of water, to this you can add wood glue dissolved in water - 50 grams) and cook, stirring all the time, until it thickens. ATTENTION! You don’t need to cook a lot of paste - a cup is enough.

Papier-mache technique Before starting work, the model must be covered with a layer of Vaseline. Next, the model is pasted over with paper using the papier-mâché technique. We tear the newspaper into small pieces. The layers should be in the following order: 1. The first layer of papier-mâché consists of plain paper. 2.

When sticking pieces of fabric on the bulge, you can get "pockets" - pieces that have nowhere to stick or that form these very folds. They need to be cut with scissors.

Papier-mâché technique 6. Plain paper. 7. Thick paper again. 8. The top, last layer can be thick white soaked paper or small pieces of white cloth (do not take a bandage; it can be used on the middle layers, but, you know, it will not look on top). When the glue has set, use a damp cloth or just your hand to wipe the junctions of the pieces of paper or cloth to smooth out the bumps. After all this, the glued model is dried. It is necessary to dry the mask at room temperature for 3-4 days, without removing it from the model, in order to avoid deformation, the mask can be covered with stretch - velvet, crepe - satin and, in general, with almost any fabric. We take the fabric in the shape of the mask approximately, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe eyes, carefully cut it with an allowance, and glue it, wrapping the edges inward.
