I haven't posted a craft project in a while and I wanted to share with you one that I just finished up. So today, I share with you my newest walk decoration of Majora's Mask. This took a weekend to complete because of the drying time, but is generally pretty simple to make.
Gear!
Corrugated Cardboard
Paper Towels
Decoupage Glue - Gloss
Markers
Acrylic Paints
Quest: Start by cutting your cardboard into a large heart shaped piece. Draw lines to determine where the base of the eyes will be and to divide the mask into four quadrants.
Cut out eye and mouth shapes to give the mask dimension. Also cut ten spike shapes for around the bottom and horns of the mask. Attach the eye and mouth shapes with glue on the top. Glue the spikes from the bottom side.
Cut paper towels into small pieces. Pour about a 1/4 cup of the Decoupage glue onto a paper plate. Dip the paper towel pieces into the glue and place, slightly overlapping each other onto the mask.
The first layer once dried does not look great. That is why I added a second layer. It also helps to develop the dimension of the layers that were added with the cardboard.
This is what the mask looks like with two layers and completely dry. The contouring comes out much better. From here, it's is about painting with the acrylic paints. Outlining the eyes and other detailing with markers. Add two more layers of Decoupage glue over the top to seal the whole thing.
Ta-da! I hope you enjoyed this craft and make one for your own Zelda den!
While flipping through some old Nintendo Power magazines I got a neat idea. Cut out the pictures that I really like and show them off in my house. Now this is the first one I did and I am sure that there will be others of various sizes in the future. This is a great idea for kids to show off the things that they like to hang in their room. It's easy enough for just about anyone to do it! Enjoy!
Gear!
Canvas - I used 8 x 8 inch
Colored Scrapbook paper
Magazine pictures - cut out
Mod Podge
Sponge brush
Scrapbook embellishments
The Quest!
Cut scrapbook paper into random pieces.
Brush canvas with a thin layer of mod podge.
Lay paper pieces out the way you want them in one layer.
Apply a thin layer of mod podge over this layer and let dry.
Add additional layers if necessary and let dry between layers.
Add embellishments. For this one, I found some scrapbook keys and rhinestones.

About Us!
The Legend of Zelda is by far my favorite video game. You could say that I am obsessed. Even hearing music from the game (even if I am the one humming it) makes me want to go home and play. I also enjoy cooking but was diagnosed with Celiac in 2014. This blog has become a great way for me to try new things with my new eating habits along with sharing my love for the Legend of Zelda.
I hope you enjoy the blog and even try making some of my creations for you family and friends. Welcome to the Zelda Gourmet!! Enjoy!
BTW ... Sad as it may seem - I don't own the Legend of Zelda :(
