  • Finished cat mask

    What you need

    A paper plate • Black paper or paint • Glue • White paper • Coloured pipe cleaners or fuzzy sticks • Elastic

  • Step 1 of cat mask

    Step 1

    Cover the bottom of the paper plate with glue, press on black paper and use scissors to cut around the edge — or paint it black and leave it to dry.

  • Step 2 of cat mask

    Step 2

    Stick on white eyebrows and a mouth, and a pink nose, all cut from paper or card. Cut out some holes for the eyes.

  • Step 3 of cat mask

    Step 3

    Make three holes on each side of the mouth and push through fuzzy sticks or pipe cleaners. Tape down the ends on the inside so they don’t fall out. Make two holes on each side of the mask, thread the elastic through each one and knot.


Try This

To create a cat outfit, team the mask with black leggings and a T-shirt. Make a tail by stuffing half a pair of tights with paper and attaching to the back of the leggings.
