Puppet Project Pages

A quick and simple project to make fun paper masks.

NEW: Animal Masks- A collection of different animal masks made with file folders. Click on the link below for photo, layout and plans for each animal.

Note for all mask printable templates- The file folders dimensions are bigger than a standard size piece of paper (in the U.S. 8.5 inches by 11 inches) so you will notice that some off the lines go off the paper as they were designed to fit on the larger file folder size. I suggest that you use the pdfs as a guide and draw the lines that are outside of the printout yourself to complete the shapes.

Note for attaching the muzzles or noses to the faces- These are designed to be attached so that the fold (ridge) of the file of the forehead and face are at approximately a 150 degree angle to the nose (image coming). This is so when you open the mask you get a 3 dimensional face.

Antlers, horns, and facial scupting is done by scoring and bending the file board. Scoring is cutting part way through the file board (I use the open blade of the scissors) in the line that you want to bend (look at the deer antlers or the ram horns to see the effect.)
