IMPORTANT: It is better to make markings in the form of a web first with soap or chalk. So that the web is evenly distributed over the surface of the mask.
Paper work
Mix with water in a ratio of 2/1. Using a brush, coat the entire surface of the workpiece with greasy cream or Vaseline so that the paper does not stick to the workpiece. Then take a regular newspaper and tear it into small pieces; to make it easier, you can first tear it into strips. Then pieces of newspaper are moistened in a mixture of water and glue, laid out on a piece of plasticine, evenly covering the entire surface of the mask. Let the first layer dry slightly and apply the second. It is advisable to make 5-8 layers with intermediate drying. It doesn’t matter if the paper protrudes beyond the edges of the plasticine blank, it will all be removed later. Glue several additional layers onto the most vulnerable areas of the mask: the bridge of the nose and the distance between the eye hole and the edge of the mask.
After all the newspaper layers have been applied, start gluing on top the white paper, which you also tore into pieces in advance. They can be dipped into a container of glue or the adhesive solution can be applied with a brush. The paper is glued as evenly as possible over the entire surface of the mask. When everything is glued, leave it until completely dry and paint. The Spider-Man mask, made with your own hands from paper, is ready.

To create a Spider-Man mask, you need to select red cardboard or semi-cardboard. Next, measure the approximate dimensions of the head. We transfer them to paper and draw the outline of the future superhero mask. There should be a recess at the bottom for the nose.
Carefully cut out the future mask along the drawn contour. If necessary, we adjust the form.
Using a pencil, draw the places for the eyes that should be cut out. They will be in the shape of a month. Carefully cut along the contour in the middle of the mask. You can also do this with a utility knife on a breadboard mat.
We apply a silhouette of a Spider-Man drawing to the mask. Outwardly it reminds us of an ordinary cobweb. Draw vertical lines from the center.
Let's finish drawing the web.
Now we outline each line with a marker. Around the eyes we will make a bold stroke of about 1 cm.
So the Spider-Man mask is ready. For convenience, you should glue a rope, lace or ribbon to its sides. It will tie at the back. The color should be taken from the mask. It can be red or black.

Cape for a suit
The DIY Batman costume begins with the main part. This is a cape with a superhero emblem. The first step is to take measurements. Using a flexible meter, measure the distance from your shoulder to mid-thigh. This will be the length of the cape. Since the fabric will fold in half when cutting, multiply the result by two.
To determine the width of the product, measure the distance between the shoulders. Add five centimeters on each side for ease of fit. The description of the process is carried out using the example of felt, which does not require processing of sections. If a different material is chosen for making the suit, you need to add one centimeter for hemming and processing of edges and cuts.
Once the rectangle is cut to the desired dimensions, the piece is folded in half vertically to determine the center. You need to cut a neckline on the top fold of the fabric and perform the first fitting. In the second stage, you need to sew the sides, leaving 25 centimeters to shoulder level. The child puts the cape over his head and inserts his hands into the slots. If you make your own children's Batman costume from a different fabric (not felt), then before sewing the sides, treat the edges so that it does not fray.

Icon
A Superman costume must have a logo on the chest. This sets him apart from other superheroes. Our character icon resembles the shape of a diamond. First you need to create a template. On the cardboard, draw a triangular shape with equal sides, one vertex down. Then cut off the top corners. Inside the diamond shape, moving 1.5 cm from the edges, draw a smaller copy. Inside the figure, draw the English letter S with a wide base. Connect the sign to the frame representing the diamond, erasing the common lines. Using a utility knife, cut out the logo itself and the extra parts between the frame and the letter. Using this template you need to create two fabric parts.
