How beautiful! This is one of my favorites from this list of DIY Halloween masks. I like the fact that it looks like makeup and that it's ultra classy. Can you believe that this was made by painting the intricate pattern on a tulle fabric? Clever!

2. Pink Owl

The tutorial after the link comes with a pattern for making an owl costume for a little kid. Since we're focusing on DIY Halloween masks today, I shall tell you that this pink owl idea is all sorts of adorable. With a few size adjustments, I think you can create one for an adult.

3. Spidey

Man, I am glad that the spider embellishment of this mask isn't obvious at first glance; I am not a huge fan of arachnids. For those who like these creepy-crawlies, this Halloween DIY mask idea is right up your alley.

I am a cat lady and I approve of this mask. Isn't it cool? The tutorial after the link leads to Martha Stewart. Her DIY shows you a way to turn a store-bought mask into something feline fabulous.

Isn't this cute and creepy at the same time? Not only do I love the design, I also like the fact that this is mostly made of a cereal box. Because who said your Halloween costume has to be very pricey? Check out the link for the free pattern.

6. Cheerful Owl

Here is another owl idea that you can make for your DIY Halloween mask. For this handmade craft project, you will need the template, lots of colorful paper, and glue. You simply cut the owl template and then embellish it any way you like. I think this will look great with silver or gold paper "feathers."

7. Crepe Owl

Because yes, owls are popular Halloween masks. For this particular DIY, you will be embellishing a store-bough mask with crepe paper to create the owl look. Other materials you'll need are acrylic paint, foam brush, glue stick, scissors, and ribbon ties.

8. Lace

This is probably one of the easiest DIY Halloween masks here. To make this, you will need nylon netting and lace. You glue the two materials together, cut a mask shape, and then add ribbons for tying around your head.
