Chinese Masks can be created out of stones and metals, leather and cloth, paper, then painted in with colors and designs. Masks may represent animals such as the lion and dragon, or have human characteristics. Chinese masks are popular especially during the Chinese New Year celebrations and represent spirits, good and evil beings and animal ancestors.
Decorate your Chinese mask generously with the color red, which represents good luck and prosperity and use cut and paste shapes | brightly colored paints, feathers, sequins, and paper or fabric trimmings.
Print and trace the designs onto multi-color fun craft foam sheets to create colorful soft face masks. Use the left over trimmings of foam pieces to cut and paste designs and shapes onto the mask.
All paper mask designs are printable on regular or heavy duty 8 1/2" x 11" paper. Print landscape mode for larger masks, portrait setting for smaller masks.
