Egyptian Masks……by Layla

In January, we made our Egyptian masks. We had a lecture on what to do, and then the fun began. Everybody got with a partner and they would one by one cover each others face. First, we got a paper bag filled with the materials we were going to use. Next, we had hard sticky vaseline rubbed all over our face. Then, we dipped some plaster strips in hot water to mold and cover our entire face. The strips were warm and gooey when they touched our faces. After the strips were on, we let them cool and harden. An adult slightly pulled the mask off and we were done. The mask process was not only weird but cool and I am totally looking forward to decorating them.
