For the Lock, Shock, and Barrel mask bases:

• Trace the face shape of the character onto paper and then use that as a stencil! (Lock is red, Shock is green and Barrel is white).
• Use your stencil to cut the face shape out of the foam sheet AND the felt sheet, cut out eye holes and mouth holes. (There is no mouth hole on the barrel mask)
• Cut out nose holes for the barrel mask, line with black felt.
• Cut out a long smile for barrel out of white foam and paint on the teeth (creates depth).
• Hot glue the smile onto the barrel mask.
• Paint the teeth on the lock mask white with black details.
• Line just the mouth pieces of Lock and Shock with black felt.
• Hot glue the correct felt sheets to the BACK of the foam sheets for added stability.

For the 3D noses for the lock and shock masks:

• Cut two triangles from cardboard (shocks nose is longer). Cut the triangle in half. Use those halves as stencils, and cut the same shapes from the correct color foam.
• Hot glue the cardboard pieces back together at an angle to create a 3D nose.
• Hot glue your 3D nose to the mask and cover (Including the bottom) with the foam pieces you previously cut out.

For the mask attachment:

• Measure your child’s head and cut an appropriate size piece of elastic.
• Hand sew the elastic to the edges of the masks above where your child’s ears will sit.
• Hot glue where you sew for added strength.
