Mardi Gras masks can be as expensive and ornate as jewelry or as DIY as you can make it. If saving your wallet is top priority, I've got you covered. Get your time and money's worth by hitting up as many Mardi Gras parties as possible, then re-use your mask for Halloween before letting the kids tear it apart during dress up. It's the craft that keeps on giving.
