Bird mask
To work you will need:
Step-by-step production:
- Fold a sheet of thick paper in half and draw a mask in the form of large glasses. Draw the eyes and make a recess for the beak. This part of the mask will be attached to the base separately.
- Cut out the mask and slits for the eyes.
- Make a beak. To do this, measure the distance from the bridge of the nose to the bottom of the mask - this is the width of the beak. Bend the cardboard in half, measure the resulting length from the fold and draw a line from the top to the fold. The result will be a triangle with equal sides. If desired, the beak can be made long or short, slightly curved at the edges. Leave an allowance of 1-1.5 cm at the base of the beak for gluing it to the mask.
- Cut the allowance on the beak in several places and bend the cardboard. Cover the beak with yellow paper. Using the allowances, glue the part to the mask.
- Try on the rubber band, cut it to the desired length and secure it with a stapler.
- Mask decor. To do this, you will need to cut feathers from colored paper. Feathers can be leaf and crescent shaped. Fold the leaf-shaped parts in half to make them more voluminous. Glue the feathers onto the mask with an overlap. Feathers may extend beyond the mask at the edges.
- For the eyes, cut out circles to carefully decorate the cutout and glue on. The mask is ready.
- To decorate such a mask, you can use natural feathers, braid to decorate the eyes, rhinestones and beads.
How to do it yourself
If you decide to organize a home theater or are going to a matinee, you can make carnival masks for children from paper with your own hands. This does not require unique skills and abilities.
If you are good at sewing yourself, then make a mask out of fabric, cutting it out according to a template, and eyes, nose, etc. make it from available materials (buttons, ribbons, shreds). If you rarely hold a needle in your hands, we offer the simplest option: children's masks made of paper. All of us adults probably know how to use scissors and glue. On our website we offer you to print out templates and pictures of some masks. You can also cut out pictures from colored paper. Glue on the eyes, nose, mouth. If you had to print out the finished mask, all you have to do is stick it on cardboard, sew a small piece of elastic around the edges, connecting the edges of the mask. This is how you can make headbands. When putting them on, the child can use an elastic band to secure the mask on his head, and it will not fall off. Headbands play an important role. Don't make headbands that are too tight or too loose. The first ones will squeeze the head, and the second ones will be too loose. Headbands should be in moderation and not cause inconvenience. If you decide to prepare a home theater, make sure that nothing disturbs your baby.
You can choose a matching costume for the mask. By the way, you don’t have to buy it or make it from expensive material: everyday clothes are suitable for a suit, which can be decorated or symbolically trimmed with paper outfit elements.
That's all. We put on a suit - and our fairy-tale hero is ready for adventure. Do not deny yourself the pleasure of throwing your child a holiday and a real theater that he will make with his own hands. You need so little for this! Just pictures of fairy tale characters and animals on our website, which make excellent free children's masks. Choose, download, print and play with your kids.
How to make a bird mask?
Today’s article will be very short, because the answer to this question can be fit into one sentence and a couple of pictures, because making a bird mask is very simple.
What do we actually need? – Make a beak, come up with a way to attach it to the face. You can do this with domino glasses, or you can use a half mask. I prefer the second option. Here is a universal pattern for a mask of any little bird. Basic, so to speak.
Pattern of a universal bird mask
For an adult, the width of the mask will be exactly the width of an A4 landscape sheet. Cut the darts on the forehead, roll them in slightly and seal them. In life, a bird's beak consists of an upper and lower part (jaw), but we will only do the upper half, because the lower “jaw” would interfere with the actor’s breathing and speaking.
We cut out the beak (note that the flaps on the sides do not reach the bridge of the nose), bend along all the fold lines (try on without a mask, adjust) and, placing the flaps on the sides of the part inside the mask, glue in:
All! This is a universal bird mask; based on it, you can develop options for specific birds. For example, we already have, as well as.
And now, to prove to you that the mask model proposed here is indeed very versatile, I will turn it into a sparrow mask. Mask of a sparrow bird (not Jack))).
The sparrow has a brown beret on its head, a dark black-gray beak, and its eyes are outlined in black. The cheeks are white, and where the blush should be there are black spots. There is also a black beard, but - alas - I will have to give it up.
Take our universal mask and paint it. Here - I reproduced the approximate color distribution, and it obediently turned into a sparrow mask:
Sparrow mask
Color the universal mask yellow and it will be a canary.
A black beret and white cheeks - and it will be very:
Squirrel mask headband
For the youngest children, a method is suitable that does not require anything complicated other than curly cutting, and its complexity depends on the efforts of the parents (later it will become clear why). The mask is a headband, and the squirrel that is attached to it is a printed picture. For this method you need:
- White paper.
- Orange cardboard.
- Scissors.
- PVA glue.
- Paper clips.
It will take no more than five minutes to make such a mask:
- The role of the elastic band in this case will be played by a cardboard rim.
To make it, you need to cut two strips 4 cm wide along the sheet.
- After this, they need to be wrapped around the child’s head and secure the circle with paper clips.
- The workpiece can be removed and the protruding end can be trimmed so that 3-4 cm remains before the paper clips.
Now the ends of the rim need to be glued together and the paper clips removed.
- After the bezel is assembled, you can start searching for pictures via the Internet. Here, as they say, “it depends on the taste and color...”. There are many options. You can find both whole squirrels and their faces separately. If the mask is made together with a child, then it is better to take a closer look at options that will be easier to cut out. For example, something like this:
- Now the found picture needs to be printed and then glued to the rim.
The result is a pretty good and simple squirrel mask. But masks made in this way are considered disposable.

Bunny mask 3D cardboard mask
To work you will need:
Process of creation:
- Make a one-piece mask template with ears on paper
. Two parallel fold lines will run from the tips of the nose to the top edge of the cheeks. Make darts on the sides of the cheeks - from the nose to the edges with allowances for gluing. Cut holes for eyes and strings. - Attach the template to the cardboard, securing it with tape, outline
, draw dotted lines for folds. - Remove the pattern and cut a mask from cardboard
. Draw the fold lines with pressure. Do this in such a way as not to damage the cardboard and make it easier to bend the material in the right places. Cut out eyes and holes for ties. - Cut out the mask
. Bend the mask along the line of the nose and along the grooves. Glue the grooves. Leave the glue to dry. To ensure the strength of the gluing area, it does not come apart. - After the glue has dried, the mask can be decorated
. Cut out inner ears, eye rims and cheeks from white paper, and glue the parts. Draw dots on the cheeks to imitate a mustache. - Thread elastic tape through holes
, tie a knot on the reverse side to keep the ribbon in place.
Dimensions for mask:
- Height – 20 cm
- Top edge width - 10 cm

Squirrel mask glasses
In order to make your own squirrel mask that children will put on their faces, you will need:
- Colored cardboard or paper.
- Pencil.
- Scissors.
- Rubber.
- PVA glue.
The squirrel mask can be made of cardboard or paper. Everyone can decide which material to choose individually based on how long such an attribute should last. Once the material has been selected, you can begin to work. Manufacturing takes place in several stages:
- On the wrong side of the paper or cardboard, you need to mark the lines of the future mask. It will consist of several parts of white and orange colors. Below is a sample template for each color.
On white paper you need to draw the following figures:
And on the orange one there is only one, it will serve as the basis:
The sizes depend on how old the child is, so everyone will choose them for themselves. The main thing to remember is that the mask should not be lower than your nose.
- Now you need to cut out eye holes on the main part of the orange color, and also make small holes on the edges. Both ends of the elastic are threaded through them and tied with a knot to secure them. The size of the elastic can be measured by placing it on the child’s head from earlobe to earlobe through the back of the head and adding 5 cm.
- Next, white part No. 1 needs to be glued to the orange base so as to cover the holes into which the elastic is threaded. In this case, the ends of the latter should be extended by 2-3 cm. As a result, the mask will acquire fluffy cheeks.
- After this, you need to glue decorative triangles onto the ears and draw a nose with a black felt-tip pen or gouache.
The child will like the resulting squirrel mask much more than the purchased one, since he made it himself. Parents can additionally decorate the ears of the craft using fluffy tassels or in another way.
But children start going to kindergarten at the age of 2, and parents don’t always have the opportunity to sit down with their child and help make an outfit. Then a faster and easier way to assemble a mask with your own hands will do.
