Instructions to make a fly mask using egg carton cups.

Materials Needed:

  • Egg Carton
  • Glue
  • Sequins
  • Pipecleaners
Instructions:
Cut two cups from the egg carton. Cut a hole in the bottom of each cup for eye holes. Punch holes on the sides of each egg carton cup and attach pipecleaners. Form the pipecleaners to form around your ears. Cover the outside of each cup with glue and stick on enough sequins to cover. Let the glue dry and wear your mask with pride. These cups will represent a fly's compound eyes!

You can also glue the cups onto a strip of construction paper and wear it more tlike a headband. If you do it this way, do not cut out the eye holes! You can also add pipecleaners to look like antennae.
