Here is my Plague Doctor mask tutorial video. This video is a sixty second glimpse about how to make DIY Carnival Masks for a Venetian Carnevale or a New Orleans Mardi Gras parade. This is a step-by-step process that uses very simple techniques and products. I will include many links to products so that you can successfully make your own masquerade mask. You probably have most of what you need in your home already to produce amazing DIY carnival masks. Let’s get started.
DIY: Masquerade Mask (from scratch)?
The basic component of a Mardi Gras mask or Venetian mask is the mask itself. Today, I use a plastic version that I have available from Amazon. You can purchase it through this link here. This is very comfortable to wear for many hours because it’s shaped ergonomically to your facial features and is lightweight. This DIY carnival mask is so easy to decorate because it’s easy to handle and see all its angles to make sure you cover all the nooks and crannies around the eye openings. This makes easy carnival mask making so there’s no mixing papier-mâché or plaster of Paris for this craft project. How to make cardboard masquerade mask products isn’t necessary either.
If we take a glimpse at the history of venetian masks, we see how much skill goes into making these. The skill and time requirement for an Italian Mask festival is undeniable until now. My carnival mask tutorial takes easily available craft supplies and puts them together in an easy to follow fashion so that there’s no need to be a skilled artist. This carnival mask craft will be welcome at the current carnival in Venice, Italy. It looks so authentic that everyone believes it’s locally made by artisans!
Mardi Gras Mask DIY making
How do we start Carnival Mask Making? Start out with masquerade mask DIY ideas. Italian masks have many different styles and themes. The Plague Doctor mask will be a perfect match for your costume or outfit. There are many online resources for designs. The Venice carnival of 2023 has styles that date back to past carnival of Venice parades. Mardi Gras New Orleans also provides alternate styles to traditional Venetian styles. Masquerade mask design ideas are best when compiling them together to create an entirely new design. That’s what I do in this video. Other resources are DIY Venetian Mardi Gras Mask by A Noble Touch or Mardi Gras Masks with Mackenzie Childs.
This Carnival mask DIY tutorial video starts with carnival mask drawing. You need a sharp pencil and some imagination. My masquerade mask DIY video also uses DecoArt craft paints and finishes. The paints have excellent flow and coverage, to make the process very fast. You may also achieve a stain glass look with the combination of paints and Elmer’s glue (that I thicken up with cornstarch). Cornstarch thickens the glue so that you can get a crackle paint effect on each one of the colorful squares on the mask, if you'd like. Even a Venetian making masks didn’t think of that!
You have the option of incorporating rhinestones, beads, trim and feathers for a professional finish. I use a combination of Jewel-it glue and hot glue to attach the embellishments and create reliefs for applying liquid gold leaf paint. Please be careful with the heat of an electric glue gun, as it can easily burn your fingers. You may want a low-temp version for gluing on the trim.

Doggy Doggie, You're very sweet!! I'm happy to be back with more fun content. ☺️ See you around, Renee

[@DoggyDoggie]

@@ReneeRomeo I am happy that we have power back after 5 freezing cold days. That was terrible.

[@ReneeRomeo]

@Doggy Doggie I didn't realize that you got hit so badly. We were only out for a few hours. We had the generators running but not really necessary. What's up with Ann Arbor being so far behind?

@@ReneeRomeo Too many trees and all cable above ground. Ever little wind that blows gives us a power outage.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN????? I Have moved and getting a divorce and celebrated my 70-year-old birthday. In all the moving lost your address and phone #. I pray you have faired better than me since we last spoke and sent each other stuff and all that. See what you have in store for the folks in the near future. This reminds me of that Edgar Allen Poe's story Mask of the red death. Look it up and read it it is so chilling, sorry I am all over the place but I am so glad to see you back. The history on this is so cool. I guess what they went thru then reminds of the terrible C we just went through and really still are? Talk to you later. Nancy S

@@ReneeRomeo You cannot text me I am on a landline. I was hoping that you maybe forgot, and nothing bad happened I guess I was wrong. Sorry about that. I spent a lot of my time watching your old films. The cookies make me hungry so did not watch untill the end on that one. The one where you a making the little chair for straight pins and your cat shows his ass. Funny stuff, and you just take it in stride.
