& my young women loves captian america!

You can make this little mask with some glitter felt & elestic

& I cut out some starts with the same glitter, glued them on hair tie 

& attached them to fingernail polish & I also made a little cape for the lip balm.

I found the make up bag at the dollar store & cut and glued some glitter felt
