Making Plastic Jug Masks

Craft: Plastic Jug Wall Masks

Wall masks made from plastic jugs.

Approximate Time: Depends on details added.

Supplies:

• rectangular plastic jugs
• textured spray paint
• details of your choice for hair, eyes, mouth, etc.
• string for hanging

Instructions:

Cut tops off jugs as shown in photo. Make a hole at top center and make a string loop for hanging. Protect surface with newspapers where you expect to spray and then spray using textured spray paint, available in paint departments of most stores. Let dry before hanging.

Kids will have fun adding plastic eyes, loop earrings, yarn hair etc. Another idea would be to hang a number of them vertically in a row to make a pretend totem pole.
