 Instructions

Cut 2 masks from White Cardstock using the Xyron Wishblade and Xyron Create and Cut Plus Software.

Cut yellow pieces out of Gold/Yellow Cardstock.

Cut Purple pieces from Purple cardstock.

Cut Green pieces from Green Cardstock.

Cut Black pieces from Black Cardstock.

Place one of the White Mask cut sections and then all the Gold/Yellow Cut Cardstock, then all the Purple and then all the Green cut pieces through the Xyron 9” Creative Station.

Trim Tissue Paper to 8-1/2 inches.

Crumple Tissue paper then straighten back out and place through the Xyron 9” Creative Station.

Place the White Mask with adhesive on top of the other cut White Mask. (This will make it thicker and more durable).

Cover the entire Mask, front and back by tearing strips of white tissue paper from the sheets placed through the Xyron 9” Creative Station.

Working one section at a time, with the colored Cardstock still on the Xyron Adhesive Backing, Paint a thin layer of white glue (slightly diluted with water) over the Gold/Yellow Cardstock pieces.

Shake gold glitter over pieces making sure to completely cover each piece. Shake off excess glitter on a paper plate or glitter tray. Repeat with Purple and Green Cardstock pieces and Purple and Green Glitter. Let Dry completely. Shake excess glitter over the white mask covered with tissue strips. Glitter will adhere along the edges of the torn tissue pieces.

Rub lightly to adhere the glitter and shake off the excess.

Place a bead of white glue along one edge of the Cord edging. Adhere the Cord edging around the entire mask. Let Dry.

Adhere the Gold, Purple and Green Cardstock Pieces as shown over the White tissue mask.

Wrap each one of the Black eyelash strips around a pencil or skewer to roll them slightly.

Using the Xyron 3/8” Adhesive Runner, place adhesive around the edges of the Black eyelashes.

Place over the Gold cardstock Eyes on the mask.

Place Rhinestones and Sequins through the Xyron 1.5” create-a-sticker to apply adhesive to the back.

Rub each before removing adhesive backing. Embellish mask with rhinestones, sequins and beads.

Place eyelets in eyelet holes and set with setter.

If necessary hold the mask up to the light and Poke out the precut eyelet holes that may have been covered with tissue paper.

Place one or 2 satin ribbon strips through each eyelet hole. Tie a gold ribbon to the center holes with the ribbon.
