![]() I chose black fabric as the back of my mask, but there’s no reason both layers can’t be the same color. I chose black ribbon for the ties, since the lining of my mask is also black. You’ll also want ribbon or elastic to keep your mask in place while you wear it. My theme was red and gold, so all my trims and decorations are gold: ribbon, ric rac, netting, embroidery floss, metallic thread, and glass beads. I used felt for my mask, but you could use any type of fabric! If your fabric is very flimsy, you might consider a layer of interfacing as well. ![]() If you want to make one like mine, there’s only a few steps! Or, if you’re going for creepy and scary rather than shiny and pretty, switch out all the gold trims for spiders, bats, or fake scars. You could use feathers or fur for some kind of animal costume. You could use primary colors (or solid black) for a super-hero style mask. I made mine in an Italian Carnivale style, but the pattern is so simple, you could do pretty much anything with it. Just pair your finished mask with simple clothes you already have! (I can’t tell you how many elaborate plans I’ve made for awesome costumes that never happened…Ursula, Calypso, Bellatrix, Eartha Kitt-style Catwoman…sigh.)ĭon’t fret, my friend! Download my domino-style mask pattern and make yourself a costume that is super-simple but also awesome. I made this tutorial and pattern download for people like me…you love the idea of an amazing costume, but somehow it never comes to fruition… ![]() Are you one of those people who has already finished their Halloween costume (handmade, obviously), have already posted multiple Instagram pics, and have already RSVP’d to all the events and parties that will be graced with your presence (and your awesome costume)?
