African Inspired Masks with Metal Tooling








For our last project in my summer class Unique Materials Art Fun we created these metal tooled masks on painted Natural roofing felt. Update: Be sure to use Natural roofing felt, Not synthetic, which can contain fiber glass. The above masks were created by 1st-3rd graders. Miss Mary cut the metal masks out and hot glued them to their painted backgrounds. Given that there are some sharp edges, I told parents these were strictly for decoration. Crisis averted. 😉

Created by my cool trio of 5th grade boys.
