I started out with a store-bought plastic mask. I enlarged the eyeholes a bit so it would slip over his glasses. Then I cut out a beard and eyebrows from craft foam and hot-glued them to the mask. This was followed by two coats of acrylic paint.
After the paint I added two coats of glitter glue.
This was followed with some extra Mardi Gras bead flair.
The men of the Krewe were asked to dress like Bacchus, so I also made him a headpiece with plastic grapes and grape leaves, some feathers, and more beads. Here is the finished look:
You can see the where the mask attaches to glasses better in this photo:
We are a pretty Krewe, which means we have to drink from pretty bottles. Here are the ones I made for us and a couple of friends.
More photos of the bottles here.
I'll post more pictures when we get home of full costumes and fun!
