How to draw a creepy face mask
DIY Halloween masks can be successfully made not only from scrap materials. You can easily draw a terrible face directly on the face itself. To do this, use cosmetics, take gouache or buy face painting. You can make your entire face scary or decorate only half of it, which looks very unusual.
Prepare your skin for makeup: wipe with toner and apply base makeup cream. You can draw terrifying details on your face:
- Make your face deathly white by applying light powder or white to your skin.
- Add bloody tears near the eyes.
- Draw some scars sewn up with thread.
- Draw old, cracked leather.
- Using a black pencil and shadows, you can draw a skull on your face.
- A painted smile from ear to ear will create a chilling image.
Follow these helpful tips to create a devilishly attractive look. Let Halloween be one of the most colorful and favorite holidays!

Death in a needle, needle in an egg...
Every child knows who Koschey (or Kashchei) the Immortal is, because we are talking about one of the main villains of Russian folklore. This dark wizard and prince appears in many fairy tales, legends and songs. Very often, Koschey acts as a bride kidnapper from good fellows and princes, or he harms positive characters in other ways. What does this scoundrel look like? Most often he is depicted as a living skeleton or simply a very thin and pale man. Koschey is tall and always appears wearing a crown. Interestingly, this character’s very name means “thin/stingy person.” It is in this meaning that the word “koschey” is found in Old Russian texts. So, we found out what the main villain of Rus' looks like. How to make a Koshchei costume with your own hands?
Skeleton makeup for men and women: how to scare others
Did you know that dressing up as skeletons isn’t just for Halloween? In Mexico, there is a holiday - Day of the Dead, on which people usually wear makeup in the shape of a skull. Sometimes it turns out very aesthetically pleasing. And sometimes it’s creepy and terrible!
How to make a web from threads with your own hands?
When decorating interiors for Halloween, the web always prevails, and we are ready to share with you one of the options for making it.
For a homemade web you will need: 3 dry branches and threads.
First you need to fix the branches together. Arrange the branches crosswise, and then use a thread to tie them in the center.
Now you can start weaving the web (see photo).
To make the craft look lively and interesting, we recommend making a small funny spider, and then placing it on a homemade web.
This interior decoration element will look great in the corners of the room, wall or cabinets.
Craft Bat
Surely everyone has a couple of black clothes hangers in their wardrobe. They will become the basis for creating bats to decorate the room.
From black construction paper, cut out the silhouette of wings, as well as a round muzzle and ears.
Glue all paper parts to the hanger with double-sided tape.
The eyes and nose can be made from buttons.
These bats will be a wonderful decoration for a chandelier, cornice or bookshelves.
A very original three-dimensional craft that combines applique, drawing and origami. The children will be delighted!

Bone applique
You can make the basis for the costume of the main dark sorcerer of Rus' without paints. Prepare basic black items and take a fairly thick white fabric. Next, you have to draw templates of a suitable shape, cut out all the elements and sew them onto the base manually or using a sewing machine. If Koshchei’s costume will be used only in an episode of the matinee, you can decorate it with an appliqué made of thick paper. For a masquerade adult outfit, it is enough to attach individual elements to pins. If a child is transforming into Koshchei, it is better to use threads - we all know that children are very restless, and it will be difficult to avoid injuries when using sharp elements. If the room where the performance or celebration will take place is not too hot, you can also make gloves using a similar technique.
Felt masks
Felt is a very convenient material for making a mask. It is easy to cut and comes in a variety of colors.
What masks are made from felt:
- bat – use felt in black or any other color. The contour is drawn from the wrong side of the material, the workpiece is cut out. Eye holes are cut, all edges are sewn on a sewing machine with a contrasting thread, and ties are sewn on the sides;
- dragon - consists of two symmetrical parts of light green color and one darker one on the top. All parts are glued or stitched together to create the desired structure. Then the dragon’s nostrils and eyebrows are cut out from black felt and glued on;
- smiley - using a compass, draw a circle on paper a little larger than the face, outline it on yellow felt. Afterwards, the contours of the eyes and a smile expressing a certain emotion are glued onto it.
The mask size for an adult man will be larger than for a small boy or girl.
Crown
The crown must certainly complement the Immortal, which is not difficult to make with your own hands. You can use a ready-made crown, if available. If not, then we will now tell you how to make it yourself.
Thick cardboard, which is used for packaging goods, is suitable for this. From it we cut a strip with teeth to fit the size of the head. We chose black color in order to sew the costume of Koshchei the Immortal with our own hands. The crown template shown in the picture has no color, so it needs to be painted. It is better to choose gold or silver color. Spray paint is the best choice as it can completely cover the crown. After painting, we connect the strip with the teeth with a stapler.
But you can choose another option for painting the crown, which will complement the costume of Koshchei the Immortal. You can decorate a cardboard crown with your own hands using foil. We have a beautiful shiny crown, which is recommended to be decorated with rhinestones or one voluminous stone.
Features of paper skulls and bones
Before you start learning how to make a paper skull, you should familiarize yourself with the basics of the presented task. Firstly, it’s easy to make a three-dimensional craft, which is then used as an attribute in skits and games. It is not worn on the head or face, but this is possible if this point is taken into account initially. Secondly, the skull can be simply in the form of a traditional mask, but made using complex techniques. We are talking about papier-mâché here.
Where is it better to use
A paper skull can be used everywhere - in skits, games, masquerade parties and other places. The only important condition is to comply with the specifications of its manufacture. If only an attribute is required in a scene, it is made three-dimensional. You can use paper and make a craft using the origami technique. But in the case when the original item will be used during the action (held in hands or carried), it is better to give preference to a stable craft.
For games, it is enough to make masks for children using simple templates. They need to be printed, glued to cardboard and attached to the paper with strings.
If you need to make a mask closer to reality, any of them can be “encapsulated”. To do this, make cuts along the contour and connect them, gluing them into a small overlap.
Bones are made by analogy - depending on why they are needed. If you need to dress up a child in a skeleton costume, it is better to use simple templates. They are also printed on a printer, then cut out and sewn onto black tights and turtlenecks according to the human anatomy. Otherwise, you will have to glue the bones of the skeleton, making them three-dimensional. Ready-made stencils are also used for this.
Examples of finished paper products
Ready-made crafts often become the subject from which parents get ideas for their work. In this case, they are guided by the specifics of the finished product in principle. What will it be - a traditional mask, a voluminous skull or a costume of an entire skeleton. The following samples are available to choose from.
Articulated Paper Skeleton - Fun Halloween Craft
Hello friends! At the end of October, many countries around the world celebrate Halloween , a holiday with rich traditions and mystical roots. And although in Russia the attitude towards this holiday is very ambiguous, in recent years it has become increasingly popular among the younger generations of Russians.

Hello, in this tutorial I will show you how to make a Skeleton - Frame from wire. I spent a long time developing this Skeleton frame for the Character's body. You will need small and large pliers, you will also need wire of different sizes, thin, medium, and thick. Well, let's get started. Take a thick wire and bend it “as in the photo”; these will be the hips. Bite off the excess, trim with a hammer, and you're done. Now we make the shoulders, take the thick wire again and bend it as in the photo. Bite off excess and trim with a hammer. Shoulders should be wider than hips. Making the Back (Spine), take the middle Wire and make Hooks (Rings) as in the photo. This is how we make the spine using a chain. Making the neck, look at the photo. Now we make the legs. We look at the length of the legs, it is best to measure with a ruler. Let's look at the photo. We wind additional wire and bite off the excess. The first leg is ready. We do the second leg in the same way as the first. We measure so that the legs are the same length. Now we wrap the legs with additional wire, this is necessary to make it more convenient to move the Character’s Body. We make the feet, make sure that the feet do not come out backwards. We twist, measure, all the legs are ready. We do the Arms, almost the same as the legs. We measure with a ruler so that the hands are the same size, and we wind additional wire. All Hands are almost ready. We make a palm as in the photo. We take a thin wire and wrap it around our palm in such a way “Look at the photo” that we get knuckles. Now Fingers, do it as in the photo, a bit difficult, small, do this for each finger. We also do the second Palm. We bend and attach the finished palms to the hands. If you want, the frame can be hardened on fire in order for the frame to become stronger, we harden it like this - “You will need a gas stove, turn on the burner, and just a little bit we harden the frame on fire, lightly bring it up, burn it, don’t overdo it!” Skeleton frame is ready. I hope I helped you at least a little. I wish you success.
