Butterfly Masks

Mysterious and alluring, the traditional half masks worn during Mardi Gras celebrations have become a staple of the rowdy holiday. Mardi Gras masks come in a number of styles. Some are placed on long poles and held in front of the face. Many contain feathers, sparkly beads, and other adornments.

Almost all Mardi Gras masks share the feature of colorfully covering the top half of the face alone. At Anytime Costumes, we sell a number of masks suitable for Mardi Gras and Halloween, including several masks shaped like animals. You can also shop for Mardi Gras beads, noisemakers, decorations, and other essentials for any costume party. Because we are unusual in the costume industry for not only selling around Halloween, you can order everything you need for your party with us any time of year.

Our popular butterfly masks are classy examples of masks that do a lot more than just cover the face. These gold, semi-transparent half masks are shaped like a butterfly, with the eyes placed in the center of each of the butterfly's wings. The antennae extend above the central figure for an immediately recognizable and distinctive shape.

To complete a fuller costume, you can also find butterfly wings on sale at Anytime Costumes. These orange, yellow, or blue wings strap on by means of a choker around the neck or with two straps that are worn over the shoulders like a knapsack. For other costumes, search among the 5,000 costumes and accessories we have available year round and see what you like best.
