Mosaic mask made from broken toys

Every time, before decorating the New Year tree, you have to sort through the Christmas tree decorations and separate the broken ones from the whole ones. Of course, every broken ball is a great pity, because many of the decorations are dear to us as memories of holidays spent with our family. But broken toys can be given a second chance by decorating a carnival mask with a mirror mosaic. You will need:

• a plastic mask from the store or a mask made from papier-mâché;
• several broken glass balls in matching colors;
• thick fabric or towel;
• rhinestones, feathers;
• hammer, pliers;
• braid;
• glue gun

1. Remove the fasteners from the broken balls and break the balls with a hammer into small fragments, having first wrapped the toys in thick cloth.
2. Use pliers to unscrew the fasteners, place them on a hard surface and lightly tap them with a hammer until the parts become flat. The result should be something like snowflakes or flowers.
3. Glue these elements to the top of the mask and along the sides. Place sequins or a sparkling crystal in the middle of each element.
4. Apply a little glue from a glue gun to the mask and glue the pieces of Christmas decorations, leaving small gaps. This way the pattern will look more like a mosaic pattern.
5. Decorate one of the side parts of the mask with a lush feather.
6. Measure the circumference of your head, cut two pieces of braid or ribbon, 6-8 centimeters longer than your head circumference. Attach the tape to the mask and let the product dry.
