The other we decorated existing commercial domino masks using hot glue guns and stitching to attach all sorts of beads, ribbon, fabric and found  objects. That method, or one that starts with an existing papier mache mask would be "safe" for the space we have, as there is no water available.

What did masks look like... what modern workarounds can we employ... where to get materials.   March 13 and 20 are still open.  If there is interest and time I will also organize a work day.
