Birthday Party Crafts- Wooden Masks- Simple, Budget friendly, FUN!

Recently Carter has shown a lot of interest in crafts. His birthday is also a little over a month away!

Let me tell you - the creative juices are flowing! Pair this with my love for planning and saving money and this will create some awesome blog posts! 

What to buy? 

Wooden Masks- Purchased them from Dollarama for $1 each. They can also be purchased at Michaels for $1.50 each. 

Acrylic Paint - I purchased the mini tubes (in the above picture) from Dollarama for $2. They are good if you are planning small crafts. If you are doing this for a bigger group I suggest buying the 2oz bottles. These can be purchased at Dollarama for $1 each but you can also buy them at Michaels. 

**Michaels frequently has them on sale for 2/$1! You can also use their weekly coupons by printing them off of their website or getting the app for your phone**

Paint Brushes - Can buy these at Dollarama $2 for a variety of pack. (Can be purchased for a variety of different stores in the craft section- Walmart, Michaels, Target, London Drugs etc.) 

Paper Plates - To use as a palate to hold your paint 

Use your imagination

Buy certain masks for certain themes (jungle party, pirate party, princess party, garden party etc.)

Create a DIY photo booth and use the masks as props

Glam up the princess masks with jewels 

Add sparkles to the flower or butterfly

Use yarn or feathers in the areas for hair

Buy the basics create the rest! 

By buying just Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and White paint you can create others colours. 

Red + Blue = Purple

Red + White = Pink

Blue + Yellow = Green 

Yellow+ Red = Orange

Red + Green = Brown

Green + Blue = Turquoise

I would love to hear how you made this project your own!
