Procedure

Step 1: Folding The White Sheet

Let’s start this crafty mask by taking a white sheet, folding it in half, and forming a crease.

Step 2: Outlining Cat Mask Shape

Make a hand gesture of stretching out the pinky finger and the thumb and put it over the folded side of the paper. Freely draw a cat-shaped mask outline using a pencil as shown in the image.

Step 3: Cutting The Outline

Once you’re satisfied with the shape, carefully cut along the outline using scissors.

Step 4: Cutting Out Eye Shape

Using a pink sheet of paper, cut out an eye shape by folding the paper to make it symmetrical.

Step 5: Outlining The Eye Shape

Open up the folded eye shape and put it over your mask, using a pencil trace the outline of the eye shape on the mask.

Step 6: Cutting Out The Eyes

Using scissors, cut out the eye outline. From the other side too cut out the eye outline of the mask.

Step 7: Decorating The Mask

Unfold the mask and using a black marker add more prominent eye detailing around the cut parts as shown in the image.

Step 8: Making Ears

Cut out 2 acute triangles from pink paper and paste them over both the above corners of the mask to make ears using glue.

Step 9: Preparing The Whiskers

Now, for the whiskers part take a white sheet and cut thin strips and paste them over the mask as shown. Also, cut out a rounded triangle from pink paper and paste it in the middle of the whiskers.

Step 10: Shaping The Mask

Twist the open edges in front of the mask in a way that they overlap each other. Refer to the image for a better understanding. Turn the folded edges to the back and insert one into another, giving your mask a subtle and more realistic look.

Step 11: Making Mask Handle

Roll over a white paper to form a stick and attach it to one corner of the mask from behind.

Your Cat Mask Is Ready!

Once everything is securely attached and dry, your cat mask is ready to be worn!

Congratulations on creating your very own cat mask! You can personalize it further by adding colors, and patterns if desired. Use this mask for imaginative play, costume parties, or as a fun craft project to share with friends. Enjoy your new feline disguise!
