  3. Paint the egg carton mask white.
  4. Then paint the egg carton mask blue and yellow. To make the eyes stand out you can paint around the eyes with white acrylic paint. Then set aside to dry.
  5. Using the template draw and cut around the feather shapes.
  6. Cut diagonal slits on both sides to create a feather appearance. Make sure to leave 1cm in the centre of the feather uncut. Repeat this for each feather.
