Fall Harvest Masquerade Mask

 Don't you just love Fall?
The tart apples,  the crunchy leaves, the brisk air?
I have been inspired by all the colors of the changing leaves that I wanted to make you just one more mask before the Masquerade Contest is over on November 15th.
I hope you like it! :)
 Materials used:
The Robins Nest - Fleur double sided paper , assorted Robins Nest Dew, Tear and Diamond drops including some from the Halloween and Sunset collections.
One blank mask found in the craft section of Walmart, fake fall garland, bamboo skewer, Gelli Stick, tombo glue, e6000, and spray sealer.

 Begin by removing the plastic veins from the leaves. Then add a line of tombo glue onto the leaves, and place your dew drops with the gelli stick. Do a few more leaves than you anticipate on using in-case one looks better than the other.  Set these to dry while you make your paper coils. Cut narrow strips of paper  and wrap tightly around a skewer as shown.

 Working in sections so you don't waste glue, add your first color line of dew drops with the gelli stick. While these have a chance to set, take your finished leaves outside and spray with the sealer.
Continue adding colored dews around the eyes until your are happy with the design.

Glue your leaves in place with e6000, holding in place for a few minutes before you add the next leaf. Attach your coils and diamond dew drops.
Then wear or place somewhere in your home for all to enjoy!

Don't forget to enter your amazing creation  here! Good Luck!
