What You Will Need
Before we begin, make sure you have the following items:

- And optional cotton wool balls, embellishments, and glitter.
The Crafting Process
Now that we have all the materials ready, let’s move on to the exciting part – making the Santa mask.
Start by downloading and printing off the mask. Ensure to use card stock or quality A4 paper that can go through your printer. Once printed, carefully cut around the outline of the mask and the eye holes.
Next, make a small hole on either side of Santa’s face (in the small white spaces) to thread the elastic cord or string through later.
Then, get creative! Colour/color in Santa’s face, eyebrows, hat, and beard.
Cut out Santa’s face, eyebrows, beard, and hat.
Glue the eyebrows above Santa’s eyes, the beard on Santa’s chin, and the hat on Santa’s head.
Let your DIY Santa mask dry.
Finishing Touches
Once your mask has dried, thread the elastic or string through the small holes on one side of the mask, loop it around and thread it through the other side.
Measure the required length to fit around the head of the person who will be wearing the mask. Remember to leave a few extra inches or centimetres for adjustment.
To make your Santa mask even more festive, consider adding embellishments or glitter.
Then, enjoy wearing your mask!
