My ten year old daughter is super crafty and creative! I came home from church today and she was working on a paper mask for Halloween that is made of a Rice Krispie Treat box and some newspapers. Here's what the finished product looks like. . .



 Step One: Take a cardboard box and draw a mask shape on it.  Anna says to use the rough side of the cardboard for gluing on the paper when you get to that point. The shiny, printed side won't take the glue very well; things get slippery.


Here she is showing the mask shape she made. . . don't forget to cut the eye holes out!


Step Two: Next cut small squares of newspaper, Anna says the ads work best because they are in color!Wrap the paper squares around a pencil and dip the end in glue.  

Stick them down on to the mask and wait for them to dry.


Step Three: All you have to do then is attach a string to the mask and you are ready for Halloween!  She is going to be the Mysterious Newspaper Girl! She will expose evil and "write off" crime!  Stay tuned for that picture!
