It's time for the big party and you have forgotten to get an accessory? Don't worry! You can easily and simply make it with a few materials that you may already have at home or can easily find. Whether you are crafty or not, these DIY crafts for Carnival accessories will be a piece of cake.

#Mask

You can easily create the perfect mask for yourself with simple materials. Do you want it to be full face or just cover the area around the eyes? You decide. Use colors and materials you like, such as glitter, ribbons, or even feathers to decorate it. So, choose the concept and theme you want it to have and let's make it.

You will need:

Execution:

• After measuring the proportions of your face with a measuring tape, you can create the mask of your dreams for your costume, if you are skilled and inspired. If you don't want to try too hard, you can find a ready-made pattern online and print it.
• Then, cut around the mask and the openings for the eyes, as well as the mouth and nose, if it is going to cover the entire face.
• Decide if you want to wear it continuously, where you will need to make 2 holes in the corresponding areas near the ears with a hole punch. After measuring the distance from one hole to the other around your head, cut a piece of elastic to the corresponding length and thread it through the holes.
• If you want a more aesthetic and elegant mask, you can attach a stick or even a straw to one side, so that you can hold it.

#Feathers

Angel or devil? Whatever the theme you choose for your costume this year, feathers are the number one accessory to enhance it. You can make the most impressive feathers at home by yourself and steal the show.

You will need:

Execution:

• Start by joining one end of the corrugated paper (as it is closed) with a stapler, placing the staples at equal distances from each other and cutting the paper between them into equal strips.
• Then, with the help of a pliers, cut the top part of two hangers, leaving only a small piece of the neck, from which you will join the hangers with the help of double-sided tape.
• Once you make sure that the construction is sturdy, you can either place more tape along the length of each hanger and carefully stick the corrugated paper on top or use glue or even better (if you have) a silicone gun.
• Place 2 rubber bands in the corresponding points so that you can wear your wings and you're ready!

#Horns

If you're in the mood for the most devilish outfit, you can't forget to prepare the corresponding horns, the trademark of this costume. Grab a headband, a few more supplies, and let's create them.

You will need:

Execution:

• First, bend two pieces of wire into a triangular shape at the height you want your horns to be.
• Next, attach them to the headband and wrap enough aluminum foil around them to give them a conical shape.
• Once you have the desired shape, you can continue by wrapping and covering the aluminum foil with the red tape, and voilà.

#Glasses

What is the most useful-useless thing in a house? The toilet paper roll of course. It serves no purpose, unless you are artistic and like DIY crafts. You can make incredible things, including carnival accessories like glasses. Make your base and decorate them with pom poms and various materials for the most carnival-like result.

You will need:

Execution:

• Cut two equal pieces from the roll, in any size you want.
• You can paint them in the color you want with the help of a brush and after they dry, join them with a stapler.
• Then, you can complete the glasses by adding a cord to be worn as a mask.
• If you want them to look like classic glasses, you can use two broken straws, so that this part will be the one that secures the glasses to your ears.

#Flower Garland

Hippie or flower child? Whatever you choose, a handmade flower garland will make a difference and enhance your costume. It is the simplest carnival accessory you can make with very few materials.

You will need:

Execution:

• Create a garland by tying together the two ends of the ribbon, with a diameter ideal for the place you want to wear it, in the middle, in your hair, or diagonally on your body.
• If you choose ready-made decorative flowers, you can simply tie them to the large ribbon with elastic bands and it's ready.
• If you want to dedicate some time, you can make the flowers yourself from waffle paper and then decorate your ribbon for the most flowery garland.
• Finally, for a more realistic result, you can always use real flowers.

#Shield

Disguising oneself as favorite superheroes has always been in fashion, especially in recent years when they have been starring in beloved movies and series. So, do you want to become the next Captain America or the next Wonder Woman? Let's see how you can achieve it.

You will need:

Execution:

• Start by cutting the cardboard into a round shape with a cutter, at the desired diameter. The bigger your shield, the more it will steal the show.
• Then use felt in the colors of the superhero you want to dress up as and create the corresponding designs, carefully using instant glue for guaranteed results.
• Finally, you can also make a handle on the back of the shield using another piece of felt and only gluing the two ends together.

#Crown

If your concept for this year's carnival includes something royal, then you have nothing but to impress with a diy lavish crown. The simplest thing you have ever made, which you can make it look as close as possible to a real one.

You will need:

Execution:

• First, create the base of the crown based on the diameter of your head, using a wire.
• Then, using smaller pieces of wire, you can thread pearls, beads, or whatever else you imagine, creating small squares that you will then secure to your base until your crown is formed.

In order to achieve all the constructions and to have the necessary carnival accessories, make sure you have the following at home, which will prove very useful for completing the constructions.
