What you need

• coloured cardboard paper

• markers or crayons

• scissors

• glue

• a stapler

• elastic – about 30cm per mask

Visit the site below and choose one of the masks:

Print out one of the mask templates. It is very easy, you just have to click on the template that you want to print. To print a template (and not any other things that might be on the screen), click on the template first, then choose PRINT from the File menu.

Colour the template, it is better if you glue the paper template on a piece of cardboard paper so that it will be firmer and fits your face better. Moreover, cardboard paper is stronger than paper and will last longer.

When you have coloured it, put the paper mask on your face and pierce two small holes on each side for the elastic. You can also staple the elastic to the mask.

Thread the elastic and tie properly. The mask is ready.

Tip: If you want you can be more original with your mask and also add some coloured cotton wool to resemble fur, especially for the lion’s mask
