Let’s discover all steps to do this creative idea

 

Equipment needed:

  •  Paper carnival mask

  • Harlequin pattern papers to be downloaded and printed right here.

  • Assorted colored papers

  • Midnight blue paper

  • Wire yarn

  • Glitters

  • White liquid glue

  • Tube of glue

  • Hot glue gun

  • Scissors

  • Rule

  • Pencil


Step 1 :  Decorating the paper mask with flakes

 

Fully cover the mask with white liquid glue and dust glitters of different sizes and colors.

Tip: put a sheet under the mask to collect glitters for a future DIY.

Steps

Step 2:  Printing harlequin sheets

 

Harlequin sheets are available in the materials list. Once printed, pair them with sheets of matching colored paper.




Step 3: Creating the paper rosettes

To create rosettes, fold and glue the accordion onto itself. If it’s not long enough to have a full rosette, glue several accordions one after the other before closing and gluing.

Hold rosettes flat by gluing a small paper disk on the back and in the center with hot glue.

 

Step 4: Decorating rosettes

To decorate rosettes, put some liquid glue on the edges and dip the rosettes in a little bowl filled with glitters. Let it dry for some minutes before handling the rosette.

 

 

Step 5: Creating the mask

 

Glue all rosettes on the mask using hot glue.

Insert different sizes and play with volumes and height. First put the largest ones then the smallest ones. You may also put quarters of rosettes to have this volume effect or paper stars glued on wire yarns.

A celebration inspired by the universe of the Commedia dell'Arte

In the past, the most popular outfits of Venice carnival were all inspired by the famous characters of the Commedia dell'Arte. Very often Pierrot paraded with Colombina and Harlequin.
