Craft Instructions: How to Make Your Own Venetian Mask

Be inspired by the images and discover how you can create something special using materials from our online shop!

Step 1: Create Templates

Draw mask-shaped patterns based on your ideas or download the templates from our website. Create templates by transferring the designs onto cardboard. Old cereal boxes are perfectly suited for this and provide the necessary stability for the mask.

Step 2: Make the Mask

Transfer the template onto the self-adhesive lamp foil and cut out the mask. Make sure the adhesive side is on the bottom. Repeat this step for an organza or cotton fabric that will serve as the inner lining of the mask. Remove the protective foil from the lamp foil, place the fabric on it, and smooth it out. Use a hole punch to create holes in the upper corners of the mask, through which the satin ribbon will be threaded for fastening later.

Step 3: Attach the Bands

Use double-sided tape to attach your desired ribbon around the contours of the mask. It is not necessary to cover the contours completely as long as the ribbon holds well.

Step 4: Decorate

Bring your mask to life by embellishing it with gemstones and other glittering accessories. Start with the larger stones and arrange ornaments to see how they look before attaching them. Our examples and additional decorations like marabou feathers can serve as inspiration.

Step 5: Attach the Satin Ribbon

Cut the satin ribbon to your desired length, ensuring you leave enough length for a bow to fasten it. Thread the ribbon through the holes in the corners of the mask, and your artwork is complete.

These masks are not only a perfect accessory for the carnival season but also a great crafting idea for birthday parties or girls' nights. If you're crafting with children, prepare the masks up to and including step 3 and let them handle the decorating. This way, the creative aspect and fun factor remain!
