As we all know, Halloween is on our heels and will be here before we can even say "boo!" Here is a silly little DIY for those of you who are less excited about dressing up but still want to participate in all the jubilee. If you have 3 minutes and a sense of humor, you'll enjoy creating your own record sleeve mask:
Supplies Needed: Record Sleeve with a to-scale human face on it, Scissors, String or ribbon, sharp pointed object (ie. pen, pencil, nail, ect.)
Directions:
1. Admire your choices for faces to don, and pick your favorite. I found two records, one of Eydie Gourme and one of Jimmy Buffett. I figured playing Eydie would be too predictable, so I went with the ridiculous Mr. Buffett.
{*see additional step-by-step photos below}
2. Tear your sleeve apart so that you have your selected face on one layer of cardboard. Using a good pair of paper cutting scissors, cut out around your face. You can include hair, ears and even clothing if you feel inclined.
{*see additional step-by-step photos below}3. Once the face has been cut out to it's desired look, use a sharp item to punch holes on either side of the mask, preferably in the middle. Don't neglect to cut small holes out of the eyes so you can see.
*This is the point where you can edit your mask additionally if you like. For instance, if I had chosen to be Eydie Gorme, I might have added some super glittery eyeshadow and a hair-bow to her cut out.
4. Tie string through the holes on either side of your cut out.
5. Wear with pride. Everyone will be so excited that there is a B-List musician is at their party and all your efforts will be worth it!
Enjoy you crazy kids!xxoo Chelsea
