How to Make
- Get into the festive spirit of Chinese New Year with this charming rat paper plate mask! This easy and fun craft is the perfect way to celebrate the Year of the Rat, making it a delightful activity for kids and adults alike.
- Use the same paint to cover half a sheet of A4 card. Then, once dry, cut out two large ear shapes and paint the inner sections with pink paint. Use scissors to cut the bottom of the plate into a point. Hold it over your face and make note of where your eyes are, then use scissors to cut out the eye shapes. Stick the two ears to the back of the top of the mask using double sided tape.
- Cut two pieces of white pipe cleaner approximately three inches long. Slightly bend one of them in the centre, and stick them together to make the rat's whiskers Cut an oval shape from a white sheet of card and paint it pink.
- Once dry stick it to the top of the whiskers, then stick it to the bottom point of the mask to make the nose. Carefully cut a small hole either side of the mask, then thread a piece of black elastic through the holes and tie each end with a double knot.
