Saludos, estamos en época de carnaval y a mi hijo Rafael le pidieron llevar una máscara con forma de gato para la escuela, todos los niños de su sección tienen que llevarla del mismo animal pero cada quien es libre de hacerlo del color o forma de su preferencia, estuve pensando un rato y luego decidí hacer una máscara no de cualquier gato, sino de mi gatita preferida Grumpy Cat, ella es una gata siamés que se hizo popular gracias a las redes sociales hace unos años y fue tanto su revuelo que hasta en una película para público infantil actuó, yo sigo su página de Facebook llamada The official Grumpy Cat donde siempre publican fotos de Grumpy aunque ya tiene una edad avanzada, la forma particular de su rostro hace que siempre parezca un gato enojado, eso hace que sea tan adorable, acá les muestro cómo hice la máscara por si quieren hacer una igual.
Greetings, we are in carnival time and my son Rafael was asked to wear a cat-shaped mask for school, all the children in his section have to wear the same animal but everyone is free to make it the color or shape of their choice , I was thinking for a while and then I decided to make a mask not of any cat, but of my favorite kitten Grumpy Cat, she is a Siamese cat that became popular thanks to social networks a few years ago and it was such a stir that even in one he acted in a children's movie, I follow his Facebook page called The official Grumpy Cat where they always post photos of Grumpy even though he is already old, the particular shape of his face makes him always look like an angry cat, that makes him so adorable , here I show you how I made the mask in case you want to make one just like it.
😺 Cartulina o cartón de reciclaje
😺 Lápiz
😺 Pinturas frío de color beige, marrón claro y oscuro, blanco, azul claro, rosado y negro.
😺 Tijera o cúter
😺 Un pincel plano y uno redondo tipo delineador
😺 20 cm de elástico
😺 2 retazos pequeños de tela
😺Silicón o pega para tela
😺 Hilo y aguja para coser
😺 Cardboard or recycling cardboard
😺 Pencil
😺 Cold paints in beige, light and dark brown, white, light blue, pink and black.
😺 Scissors or cutter
😺 A flat brush and a round eyeliner brush
😺 20 cm of elastic
😺 2 small pieces of fabric
😺 Silicone or glue for fabric
😺 Thread and needle for sewing
With the pencil make the drawing on the cardboard, in this step you have to take into account the measurements of the face of the person who is going to use the mask, the face of the cat in this case measures 18cm wide, while the distance between the holes for the eyes are 3.5 cm in the case of my son and these holes are also 3.5 cm wide. Cut the holes with a box cutter and the edges of the mask. Then paint the entire mask with a white base paint.
With beige paint paint the cat's face except for the area around the eyes, with light brown paint paint the area around the eyes and the inside of the ears, with dark brown paint paint the edges of the ears.
With blue paint paint the iris of the eyes, with pink paint the nose, with black paint the pupils of the eyes leaving the bright areas white, if you get to ignore this detail you can do the shine with white paint. Then paint the snout white and make shadows with the moistened brush and diluted black paint, thus making details such as the whiskers, eyebrows, edges of the snout and edge of the face.
With the needle and thread sew the ends of the elastic to the squares of fabric, then glue the fabric to the mask using fabric glue or silicone, secure with tweezers while the glue dries.
Although my son is very happy, I am sure that he will be the only grumpy cat in his school's carnival celebration, that makes it even more fun, I hope you liked it.
