Good morning, I will be living on nutbread and wassail for the next several days, thank you, not taking questions at this time
(okay I will at least say that nutbread is an old family xmas recipe involving little pieces of sweet bread dough rolled in butter, ground almonds, and sugar)

My favourite part of xmas decorating every year 🔥 I saw this idea in a decorating magazine like 20 years ago and immediately vowed I would buy a light fixture that would let me do this when we owned a house...and I got that chandelier for this EXPRESS PURPOSE
Still to add: tin stars and red beads!

🎶 Wassail, wassail all over the town
Our toast it is white and our ale it is brown
Our bowl it is made of the white maple tree
With a wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee 🎶

Meanwhile Polly is doing her bit by demolishing a cardboard box, thus readying it for the compost, such a good helpful bear

WELL they LOOK pretty smashing at least but a good third of them were tragically underdone - dough not rolled quite thin enough, oil a little too hot - bah 😤 I guess the latkes took all the deep fry vibes this year!

Tadaa! Once this is dry, you just snip off the foundation bands and cut it to the exact shape you want. From here decorate as you see fit with paint, feathers, stickers, add cat ears, etc etc etc - I've gotten really great results gluing down layers of tissue paper, too. Add a ribbon to tie it on!

Eventually you've got something a little like this, at which point you can take it off to let it dry. It will likely stick to your face a bit and leave bits of glue on your face and hair.

To do a full mask (vs half) just build the lower face the same way! This is easy to do for yourself in front of a mirror, too. Eyehole size is your call - you can build them small and then cut them to the specific shape you want later. 16yo wanted her eyebrows covered.

Keep on adding strips and filling in gaps.

From here, we start filling in the open spaces by gluing strips across them. Start building the rough shape of the eyeholes. Always press your paper right down against the shape of your face.

Next connect the side band and nose band - again, make sure to press the paper right against your skin. It won't stay there yet but it'll get there!

Next comes a strip that hangs from the foundation band at the forehead to the tip of the nose. Make sure to press the strip right against the contour of your nose to get it the right length.
