Paper Mask Patterns

Simple Paper Mask Shapes
You can design a mask quickly using a simple eye mask template. This designer, Irina Troitskaya, makes fabric masks, and offers her patterns (shown in the photo) as a free paper mask download from her web site. Wonderfully imaginative eye masks with noses in the Venetian mask style!

You can view the completed masks on the artist's website (and get links to her bear and birdie paper mask printables in PDF format)
