Click
on a thumbnail image above to open a full-size printable mask,
big enough for your face.
Save that image: Click and hold the mouse
(for Macintosh users), or click and hold
the right mouse button (for Windows and Unix users), and select "Save
Image As... "You may see a filename with a .jpg extension already
filled in; if not, name it yourself. Note the directory to which you're
saving it on your hard drive; change it if you like.
Open your saved .jpg in an image viewer
and select print from its file menu. Use letter-size paper or shiny
cardboard such as photo stock, and, if your printer offers the option,
choose the best fit to the paper vertically.
If you print your mask on paper, paste
the paper to a cereal box or other flexible cardboard.
Carefully cut out the mask, then cut out
the eyeholes along the dotted lines. Punch out the small holes near
the ears.
Attach
an elastic band to
the cardboard mask: Cut a wide rubber band once so it becomes a flexible
string, and knot one end until you have a knot that won't slip through
the holes you've punched. Thread the rubber band through one hole with
the knot on the front side of the mask. Slip the other end of the elastic
into the remaining hole in the back of the mask and tie another knot
-- too large to slip through the hole -- on the front side of the mask.
Don't
run: If there's a chance your mask might get wet, cover it with
clear contact paper or use water-based fixative, both available at art
supply stores.
Try on the mask, slipping the rubber band
behind your head to secure it. Make sure you can see through the eyeholes.
(If you can't, take the mask off before you enlarge them!)
