19. Cardboard Plague Doctor Mask
Craft a hauntingly beautiful, historical plague doctor mask that can be worn as part of a costume or hung on the wall as a striking piece of decor. Cut out the iconic long, curved beak and eye goggles from flexible cardboard, assembling the pieces using hot glue and paper tape to create smooth transitions. Paint the mask to look like weathered, hand-stitched dark leather, using metallic silver paint on the eye rims to look like metal rivets. Cut out the eye holes and cover them with dark mesh fabric, creating a mysterious, chilling, and highly fashionable gothic accessory.
