Step 1
Gather all your materials on a clean table and sit where you have lots of space.

Choose Sundrop (warm yellows and oranges) or Moondrop (blues and silvers) and paint a smooth base color over the mask.
Step 8
Set the mask aside and let the paint dry completely.

Help!?
What can I use instead of cardstock or elastic if I don't have them?
If you don't have cardstock, use a folded cereal box or poster board for a sturdy mask base, and substitute ribbon, string, or a shoelace for the elastic, threading and knotting or taping them through the punched temple holes.
My paint is smudging and the temple holes keep tearing — how can I fix that?
Follow the instruction to set the mask aside and let the paint dry completely before decorating or punching holes, and if the temple holes tear when threading the elastic, reinforce them with a small piece of clear tape or a paper washer before inserting the elastic.
How can I adapt the activity for different age groups?
For younger kids, have an adult fold and pre-cut the mask and eye holes and let them decorate with crayons or stickers, while older kids can draw their own symmetrical outline with a ruler and pencil, use paint markers and glitter glue for detailed designs, and add extra layers like glued-on cardstock shapes.
What are some ways to enhance or personalize my Sundrop or Moondrop mask?
Extend the project by adding layered sun or moon appliqués from extra cardstock, metallic foil or silver paper for Moondrop highlights, sequins or glitter glue for sparkle, and decorative ribbons or feathers at the temples before photographing and sharing your finished mask on DIY.org.
