How to make a Halloween mask
1. Prepare these materials: a paper handbag, a piece of a3 white paper, a piece of black cloth, a pencil, a red marker and a pair of scissors.
2. Look for a paper handbag, and a3 white paper is stuck on the inside, because the hardness and softness of the handbag are moderate, and the mask made is not easy to break. Find the right position and draw the outline of eyes, nose and mouth. Cut two holes in the eye contour.
3. Cut two sharp teeth with white paper, stick them on your mouth and paint your mouth red; Draw patterns on the mask that you think are horrible or disgusting (of course, you can also draw patterns that you like).
4. Find a place to cut two small holes on both sides of the eyes, and take down the rope of the hand strap and tie it on the cut holes to be used as the rope for fixing the mask. Find a piece of black cloth and sew it on the mask paper with a needle, such as the packaging cloth in the tea box. (If it's not black cloth, it's best to dye it black with black ink, because black cloth has the best terror effect! )。 Such a horrible mask is successful!

1. find some waste paper, preferably unused toilet paper, then tear it into small pieces, soak it in water, knead it and mash it, and the more broken it is, the better it is. It's better to measure a little more, at least two fists in size.
2. Hold the water in the pulp, don't hold it too dry, just don't drip the water, then add glue to the pulp, add more, increase the viscosity, stir and stir, and mix well.
3. Buy a thick balloon of good quality, a bigger balloon, which is preferably as big as your head and can't be blown. Blow it up, blow it as big as your head (be careful not to burst it), and seal it.
4. Spread the pulp on the balloon, make it thicker, cover half of the balloon, make it into the shape of a face, and then flatten the surface. You can also get more pulp, cover the whole balloon and make a dummy head. )
5. When the pulp is dry, pop the balloon, and then a mask template will be made. Cut out your eyes and mouth, then paint some colors and decorate the bottom. Put ropes on both sides and you can wear them out to scare people.
The origin of wearing a mask on Halloween
There are many versions of the legend about the origin of Halloween. It is generally believed that it originated from ancient western European countries before the birth of Christ, mainly including Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The ancient western Europeans in these places are called Celts. The Celtic New Year is on November 1st, New Year's Eve. The Celtics let the young people gather together, wearing all kinds of weird masks and carrying carved radish lanterns (pumpkin lanterns are a late custom, and there were no pumpkins in ancient Western Europe). They wandered around the village.
In the 5th century BC, the Celtics living in Ireland at that time designated October 31st as the end of summer, which also symbolized the end of the year. They believed that on the eve of the alternation of old and new years, all the laws of time and space would be temporarily suspended, and the door of the spiritual world would be opened at this party, so that all ghosts could wander around the world and look for suitable body double everywhere, so as to be reborn.
Therefore, for fear of being the target of ghosts, the Celts put out the fire at home that night and pretended that no one was at home. At the same time, put on a ferocious and terrible mask, dress up as ghosts and go to the street to cruise together, creating a noisy atmosphere to drive away those wandering ghosts.
Roman festivals celebrating harvest were combined with Celtic ceremonies, and they wore terrible masks and dressed up as animals or ghosts in order to drive away demons wandering around them. This is why most people around the world celebrate Halloween with strange costumes today.
why do you wear a mask on Halloween? Halloween costumes originated from the Yin Festival, where participants slaughtered livestock and put on their skins. Also, the masks worn by the participants were originally intended to escape evil spirits, and they were also handed down.
In ancient times, if there was a drought or other major disasters, people would wear ugly masks, because they were afraid of evil spirits wandering outside at night. If they had to go out at night, they would wear masks or decorate themselves with animal fur, hoping that evil spirits would not recognize them or be scared away by ugly masks.
Later, the religious meaning of fearing ghosts and gods gradually became thinner, and gradually children began to dress up as ghosts and elves, go out to scare their neighbors to trick or treat, and ask adults to treat them to candy.
Halloween costumes originated from pranks, and adults are also required to take their children out with them (generally, adults drive to the side of the road and children knock on the door to ask for candy trick or treat). Adults should ask children to go only to houses with festive decorations and lights at the door, otherwise they are not allowed to disturb. In addition, in the process of begging for sugar, you must always stand at the gate and wait, and you are not allowed to enter the house. The recovered sugar must also be handed over to an adult for inspection before eating. Families who receive children are also required not to give home-made food or unpackaged food.
Holiday arrangements on public occasions and around the home are voluntary. The grimace pumpkin lantern, the white net black spider, the white ghost, etc. are all holiday decorations, and there is no frightening ghost color at all. Some female students will buy a pair of pumpkin or ghost skull earrings to wear at this time. If the layout of any house is too horrible, it will be stopped by the relevant parties, and the media will expose it and let the public accuse it. ;
