How Do You Make Face Masks For A Nativity Scene?
Nativity scene characters should encompass a peaceful and gentile disposition in accordance with the descriptions and writings regarding the scene. The features that will most express these sentiments are the facial features or expressions, which should be taken into account when constructing the masks. The people traditionally present in Nativity scenes are Mary, Joseph, the Baby Jesus, the Three Wise Men/Three Kings and the angel Gabriel. The masks can be easily and inexpensively created through many items found in your own home. Hold a paper plate up to the mask wearer’s face and mark in pencil where his eyes are. Cut holes in the marked spots so the wearer can see through the mask. Draw the intended features of the character on the paper plate. The features can be very simple line drawings of the eyes, nose and mouth, or you can add more detail. For additional detail, consider adding a rosy color to accent cheeks, eyebrows and a beard for the men. Cut yarn and glue to the chin area
