Paper Dragon Mask

Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, I have so much fun with little ones when they ask to make random things for get-togethers. This week’s request was totally out of the blue because the little boys we had coming over for playdates, “really love dragons, mommy.”

Tips to Make This DIY Dragon Paper Mask

  • Click here to get the free dragon SVG for the mask. It’s so easy to use, just download, upload it to Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio and you can cut the shape from paper, felt or anything.
  • When you’re picking card stock for the mask SVG, I recommend using the heavier paper, like 80 pt. That way, if anyone is a little rough with the mask, it’s not as likely to get destroyed. The layering also gives it strength to withstand little hands.
  • To add flame coming out of the bottom, add add yellow, orange and red tissue paper like we did in the dragon blower craft here. Let the little ones customize this any way they want – add jewels, change colors, use glitter card stock. You can even cut the free dragon SVG out of white card stock paper and then let the little ones color their own!

Prep Time 5 minutes
Active Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Difficulty Easy
Estimated Cost $3

Materials

  • Card Stock Paper in Red, Black, Yellow and Orange
  • Black Yarn
  • Free Dragon SVG

Tools

  • Circut Explore Air2 or Cricut Maker, Silhouette, or Brother Scan and Cut
  • Light Grip Mat
  • School Glue
  • Scissors
  • Pencil or Chopstick
  • Single Hole Punch

Instructions

  1. Download the free dragon SVG and upload it to Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio. Follow the prompts to cut the dragon face from red card stock, the frill shapes and "t" zone shape from black card stock, the large tongue shape from the yellow card stock and the small tongue shape from the orange card stock. You can change the colors based on the notes above.
  2. Use the pencil to roll the face sides and muzzle inward, giving the dragon mask some shape.
  3. Use the glue to attach the orange and yellow tongue shapes one on top of the other. Once the glue has dried, roll the two shapes from the tip toward the back, giving it a curl. Glue the tongue onto the muzzle of the face on the inside of the mask.
  4. Glue the side frills on either side of the face behind the face frills (or on top - it's your mask), the triangle frill on the top of the head, and the "t" shape on the front of the dragon mask face.
  5. With the hole punch, decide where your little one needs their support based on where their ears are (since the yarn will need to go over their ears) and punch the holes accordingly on each side of the dragon mask.
  6. Thread yarn through the holes and tie the mask on your kiddo's face! photo collage tutorial of how to make a paper dragon mask
