Superhero mask template
8 original domino masks to color, cut out and wear — in true kids and adult sizes, as line art or ready in color.
Quick answer: pick a mask below, print it at actual size on card stock, color it, cut along the outline and eye holes, then tie elastic through the two side holes. Every design is free in kids (6.25 in) and adult (7.25 in) sizes on US Letter or A4.
How to make a paper superhero mask
- Pick a mask and a size above, then print the PDF at “Actual size” (not “Fit to page”). Each mask prints alone on a landscape page.
- Check the 1-inch line at the bottom of the page with a ruler. If it measures 1 in (2.5 cm), the mask is the right size.
- Color the line-art version with crayons or markers, or print the color version. Card stock (65–110 lb) lasts longest; on plain paper, glue the mask to a cereal box before cutting.
- Cut on the solid outline. To cut the eye holes, fold the mask gently across the middle of each eye, snip a small slit and cut around from there.
- Punch the two small circles at the sides with a hole punch or a pencil tip, then tie on elastic cord or ribbon. About 12 in (30 cm) of elastic fits most kids.
Which size should I print?
The kids mask is 6.25 in (16 cm) wide with the eye holes about 2 in apart, for ages 3 to 10. The teen and adult mask is 7.25 in (18 cm) wide with the eyes about 2.4 in apart. Both fit on US Letter and A4 without scaling. For a toddler, print the kids size at 90%; for a very large face, print the adult size at 110%.
