Learn how to make a masquerade mask or Venetian mask, however you want to call it. The process to make this mask is called wet felting, in which you add soapy water to wool to shrink wool fibers. I recommend reviewing my ultimate guide to wet felting if you're new to wet felting.

Download the masquerade mask template to make it easy to cut out the mask.

Supplies

0.5 oz of Wool Fiber (make sure it’s not listed as “superwash,” otherwise it won’t felt) - this is a collection of my favorites
Felting Embellishments (such as viscose fiber, viscose thread, silk fiber, etc) - here are my favorites
Plastic Venetian Mask (choose one that is smooth on top. You will use this as your mold) - this is similar to the set I have
Masquerade Mask Template
Aleene’s Fabric Stiffener and Draping Liquid - Amazon
30″ of 3/8 in Satin Ribbon
Paint Brush
Basic School Glue
Binder Clips or Sewing Clips - these are the ones I have
Plastic Wrap
Bubble Wrap (I like to reuse plastic Amazon packaging)
Tulle or Mesh Fabric
Olive Oil Soap - this is the one I have
Pool Noodle
Towel
Vinegar

Step 2: Download Masquerade Mask Template

Download the masquerade mask template and print it out. You can use this as a template instead of a plastic mask or you can use it to make a simpler mask.

Step 3: Lay Out the Fiber

Lay thin layers of fiber in opposite directions. There should be 4 layers in total.

Step 4: Wet the Wool

Cover the wool with the mesh and add warm water that has been mixed with olive oil soap. Begin lightly rubbing it, checking to make sure the fibers don't stick.

Step 5: Roll

Once the fibers aren't sticking, place a pool noodle on one side and roll everything up into a towel and roll it 100 times, turning it a quarter turn every 25 rolls. Repeat this from each side of the wool. Then flip it over and repeat it again.
