How to do it
1 Cut holes in the mask’s edge, 4-5mm inside the edge.
2 Tie four half tree trunks together to make a frame.
3 Paint the mask before fastening it onto the frame.
4 To achieve a rustic and authentic look, use your fingers when painting.
5 Sew / weave the mask onto the frame with flax twine.
6 For decoration of the frame tie a small bunch of feathers together using flax twine.
7 Pull glass beads onto the twine.
8 Pull the beads down over the feathers until they reach the knot.
9 Finished feather decoration with glass beads.
Make another 2-3 depending on how many you think are appropriate.
10 Tie the feather decorations onto the frame.
11 The finished framed mask.
A variant of the frame. Here the frame is turned a quarter turn and the mask has been painted in a light colour with dark streaks.
