Printable masks

You can download all three of these masks in one handy pdf.

Tips:

  • Each is designed to print out at A4 paper size; they’ll work best of printed or glued onto thick card.
  • Cut out the black eyeholes, and cut around the thin outline on the outside edge of the mask.
  • Add colour if you wish.
  • Don’t forget to add string or a paper loop so that you can attach the mask to your face.
  • And don’t forget some antennae for Bug – you could use thin strips of paper or card, or pipe cleaners.
