Create a personalized mask using CAMH’s mask-making template! Instructions for this activity are available in both English and Spanish for this Virtual Drop-In Experience.
Mask Making Template | PDFMaterials
- Mask template
- Drawing utensils (e.g., colored pencils, crayons, markers)
- Stickers
- Scissors
- Tape
- Yarn or ribbon
Instructions
1. DESIGN YOUR MASK.
We encourage you to take your time creating your mask. Your design can be of any character, animal, or person of your choosing. Use your drawing utensils to draw shapes and add color. Pay attention to the 2D shape of
your mask. How will it change when you cut out the template? Add to your mask design by adding any details you want.
2. CUT AND SECURE MASK.
Cut your mask out carefully, including one side of each dart, the nose, and eye holes. Close the middle dart panel by overlapping the cut edge to the line edge of your mask. Secure with tape. Next, secure the two side dart panels closed with tape.
3. PERSONALIZE AND COMPLETE.
How will you personalize your mask? You can add accessories such as flowers, or add patterns with stickers. Once your design is complete, locate the holes on the side of your masks. Weave yarn or ribbon into one hole and secure one end to the mask. Repeat with the 2nd hole. Put on your mask and tie the yarn or ribbon behind your head, securing your new mask in place.

Instrucciones
1. DISEÑA TU MÁSCARA.
Te animamos a tomar tu tiempo en crear tu máscara. Tu diseño puede ser de cualquier personaje, animal, o persona que quisieras. Utiliza tus materiales para dibujar formas o figuras y agrégales color. Pon atención a la forma 2D de tu máscara. ¿Cómo cambiará cuando recortes la plantilla? Agrega más a tu diseño de máscara al incorporar todos los detalles que quieras.
2. RECORTA Y ASEGUARA TU MÁSCARA.
Recorta tu máscara con cuidado, incluyendo un lado de cada pinza, la nariz, y los agujeros para los ojos. Cierra la pieza del medio que tiene la pinza al superponer el borde cortado sobre el borde forrado de tu máscara. Después, asegura las dos piezas de pinzas laterales, cerrándolas con cinta adhesiva.
3. PERSONALIZA Y FINALIZA.
¿Cómo vas a personalizar tu máscara? Puedes agregar adornos como flores, o añadir patrones con pegatinas. Tan pronto como completes tu diseño, ubica los agujeros a cada lado de tu máscara. Entreteje el hilo o lazo de tela por uno de los agujeros y asegura un extremo a la máscara. Repite con el otro agujero. Ponte la máscara y ata el hilo o lazo detrás de tu cabeza, asegurando tu nueva máscara en posición.
