• Step 1

  Print off and cut out the paper pattern. Check the placement of the eyes, you may need to adjust their location for your own eye spacing.

• Step 2

  Dismantle your cereal box. Using a marker, trace around the paper pattern for the mask and beak onto the shiny printed side of the cardboard. Cut out the pieces with a combination of scissors and razor knife (for the eyes).

• Step 3

  Using your paper pattern, mark the location of the scoring lines and using a razor knife and a ruler, cut partway through (on the shiny printed side) on the scoring lines. Gently bend on the scored lines.

• Step 4

  Paint the shiny printed side a solid color. When the backside has dried, paint the fronts.

• Step 5

  Glue the beak onto the mask using white glue. The top tabs on the beak fit behind the mask.

• Step 6

  Cut feathers from Tyvek. If you don't have Tyvek, heavy paper will work (it just won't hold up as well). I freehand cut mine, but included a pattern for the size you should be aiming for to get the same proportions.

• Step 7

  Glue the feathers to the back of the mask. I arranged mine on the table top, ran a continuous bead of glue around the ring of feathers and then laid the mask on top. I weighted it down with small objects while it was drying.

• Step 8

  Punch string holes and attach strings.
