Making a papier-mâché craft will take time and patience, as you need to constantly dry the parts. The process, although long, is very exciting. While creating a product, imagination, fine motor skills and perseverance develop. There are few materials on the Internet on making papier-mâché crafts, so you need to be creative and experiment.
Monkey mask made using papier-mâché technique
Making such a mask from papier-mâché is not that difficult. The craft is suitable for a holiday, it can be used as a decorative element or toy.
First you will need a cardboard blank in the shape of a chimpanzee's head. To give the mask the correct shape, you need to slightly press the places where the eyes will be located. Then glue the crumpled paper onto your cheeks, nose and forehead. Eye sockets are easy to make by rolling small pieces of paper into balls. Then form the mouth by adding paper to the monkey's jaw. Make lips, eyes and ears. Widen the cheekbones a little.
When the glue dries, the paper mask must be removed from the base. This can be done easily by covering it with duct tape or wrapping paper. The base is suitable for reusable use. Paint the dried mask, and when the paint is dry, apply varnish. To cover the inside of the product you will need a gypsum mass.
All that remains is to decorate the monkey with hair. Mop yarn will do. To make the threads look like natural hair, it is recommended to dye them. Then dry the threads and glue them to the mask.
You can find a ready-made paper monkey mask template on the Internet, print it on a color printer and cut it out. The product is suitable for masquerade, gift or wall decoration. In addition to the mask, you can sew a monkey costume with your own hands.

Description of work stages
It's easy to make a papier-mâché monkey, following the instructions.
Festive matinees in kindergartens or elementary schools are often held in the form of theatrical performances. Every child participates in the celebration. For an interesting performance you need appropriate costumes and head masks. You can buy them in specialized children's stores or make them yourself.
Different materials are used to make masks. Most often - paper and cardboard. The picture is downloaded, enlarged on the computer screen, and then printed.
The sketches can be colored; the child just needs to cut out the model. There are black and white or theatrical coloring masks. These need to be colored with pencils or paints at your discretion. Leather, foam rubber, felt and other materials are also used in production.
The shape of the masks is also different. Some are made on a wide rim. The image of an animal or fairy-tale character is glued to the headband and placed on the head, while the child’s face is not covered. Other sketches hide the face, and cuts are made for the eyes. There are masks, respirators, gas masks (rubber elements are usually used for their manufacture) or on a stick.

For girls
When choosing sketches for girls, they give preference to funny animal faces. For example, a bear or a bunny with a pink bow, masks in the form of powerful fairies or beautiful princesses.
For boys
A holiday mask for a boy depends on the child’s character and preferences. Some kids love to portray not only good animals (bear cub, cockerel, piggy, hippopotamus), but also pirates, sorcerers, supermen, and villains.
Animal faces
Costumes and masks of forest and domestic animals are a common option for holding a matinee. Some children prefer to dress up as cats, dogs, hares and other recognizable animals (bull, goat, wolf). Others want models of less common animals - raccoon, moose, platypus or koala.
A universal option is the “mask of the Year”. It symbolizes the animal according to the eastern calendar. For 2019, the faces of a pig, piglet, and wild boar are relevant. They can be made not only from paper, but also sewn from fabric. Patterns and sewing patterns make it easy to complete the task.

Having selected ready-made sketches, they are saved or copied for subsequent printing, and the masks are cut out. They are usually used as a headband without covering the baby's face. To make a full-fledged mask, you need to make an effort. The specificity lies in the anatomy of the bird's head. You need to prepare a template for the head and beak separately. The bird's beak is glued along the marked lines. Its size and shape depend on the bird - for an owl it will be small and hooked, for a crow it will be long and sharp.

Mask designs for cutting
There are different patterns that do not always symbolize animals. Children love cool costumes; a mask of a plague doctor, a mad genius or a gypsy is suitable for them. Some people play evil characters at matinees. In this case, masks with the face of the devil, an old sorcerer or uncle Chernomor would be relevant.
The black and white masks are painted by the children themselves. The advantage of sketches is that the child shows creativity. His cow comes in purple and his goat comes in flowery pink. After the matinee, the organizers organize competitions for the most interesting or original face mask.
When creating a New Year's image, masks of snowflakes, Father Frost, Snow Maiden or Baba Yaga are suitable. If a child does not want to wear a full-fledged mask, then the ears of a hare, fox or bear will suit him.
Emotion masks will convey a happy or sad mood. They are made in the shape of a sun or a popular smiley face.

The facial expressions of the mask are of great importance. Even the most ordinary characters convey a palette of moods. They can be sad and cheerful, kind and angry, surprised and indifferent. This is achieved by drawing the eyebrows (raised, lowered, like a house), a smile on the face, and the position of wrinkles, if we are talking about a mask of an old man or woman. Emotions are conveyed not only by the faces of people and animals, but also by inanimate images: templates for masks of flowers (bells, roses, daisies), vegetables and fruits (apples, tomatoes, plums).

A carnival party is not just a holiday, it is a captivating and vibrant performance. Especially if the carnival takes place in a children's group. All the kids are in fancy costumes and masks, which add mystery to all participants in the action.
New Year's holidays and matinees in kindergartens and schools are coming soon. In the new 2016 - the year of the monkey, a child, with your help, can transform into this mischievous little animal, dressed in a monkey costume and hiding under a mask in her image.
Making a paper monkey mask with your own hands is not difficult, especially since the materials needed to make it are very simple, and the process itself will not take much time. The child will be happy to participate in such an exciting process.
Even with children, you can make a beautiful one that will burn with multi-colored lights.
In this master class you will learn how to make a monkey mask with your own hands. Let's get started!
To create a mask in the image of a monkey we need:
- cardboard disposable plates
- gouache paints brown, white and mustard colors
- art brush
- wooden skewer
- scissors
- black felt-tip pen
- heat gun
- simple pencil
DIY paper monkey mask - step by step with photo:
We take a disposable cardboard plate and draw the monkey’s eyes with a simple pencil. To do this, place the plate to your face and mark with a pencil at what level the eyes will be located.
Carefully cut out the eyes with scissors; it is best to use scissors with rounded tips.
We cut off all unnecessary parts along the contour.
On a separate plate we draw ears in any shape, which we subsequently also cut out with scissors.
Now we need to paint the mask with paints. To do this, take a brush and mustard-colored paint, paint over the inside area of the ears and muzzle.
Use brown paint to decorate the outer part of the face and ears.
For expressiveness, use a black felt-tip pen to outline the monkey’s nostrils, mouth and the border of the face, where the light part turns into the dark.
Warm up the gun to the desired temperature and apply glue to the edge of the ear.
Glue the ears to the face.
Turn the monkey over and glue a wooden skewer onto the back side with hot glue; cover the top of the skewer with a small paper rectangle.
Your DIY paper monkey mask is ready! You can go to the carnival.
You can make not only an applique or an animal figurine, but also an excellent one. It will help the child transform into the desired image and have fun.
Typically, children's masks are simply cut out from paper and then placed on the face using an elastic band. But there are many ways to create a voluminous paper mask in the shape of an animal's head - for example. A paper monkey mask is quite simple to make, and its production does not take much time.
What you will need for work:
- three sheets of colored cardboard - two dark brown and one light brown;
- toy eyes;
- four clothespins;
- pencil;
- scissors;
- glue;
- black felt-tip pen or marker.
Let's get started.
We cut off the sides of sheets of dark brown cardboard to make them narrower.
We fasten the sheets to each other using clothespins - two on each side. The result is a cylinder - the head of a monkey. We select the diameter of the cylinder according to the circumference of the child’s head.
Cut out an elongated oval from light brown cardboard and draw a longitudinal arc-shaped line on it with a black marker. It turns out to be the face of a monkey.
We cut out two identical semi-ovals from dark brown cardboard, and two smaller semi-ovals from light brown cardboard. These will be the ears.
Glue the ears: glue light brown ones onto the dark brown semi-ovals closer to the center.
We bend the lower part of the ears in the opposite direction.
Coat the fold with glue.
Glue the ears to the monkey's head.
Then glue on the muzzle and eyes.
Such a monkey, made with your own hands from cardboard, will help a child plunge headlong into the fascinating world of the jungle and give him many unforgettable moments of play.
Once again, kindergartens are preparing another series of children's matinees with fancy dress costumes.
Parents will once again have to prepare a mask for the matinee. It is better to do this with your child together.
The topic of today's post is a master class that answers the question of how to solve this difficult problem.
We need to turn mask making into an educational game.
The mask should be the most beautiful and cool one in the kindergarten. This requirement requires an extraordinary approach on the part of parents.
Today, together with the children, we will make a mask for the matinee.
Today, together with the children, we will make masks of a monkey, monkey, macaque, and gibbon with our own hands.
Below are pictures that need to be printed, laminated, cut out along the contour and threaded with twine or elastic to fit the child’s head.
It is also possible to have a strip of cardboard or laminated paper at the bottom of the mask, folded with a rim to fit the child’s head (if you connect not with threads, but with a stapler, then the staples should be directed with their sharp ends outward (so as not to scratch the child’s head)).
To make the mask original, you need to print out the black and white mask templates available here, paint them together with the children with gouache or watercolors and also laminate them, after which you need to thread a string or elastic band to the size of the child’s head or attach the mask to the prepared rim.
