How To: Batman Mask

For my son's Lego Batman party, I made super hero capes and batman masks to go in their treat bags. They were able to wear these at the party and then take them home.


These were so easy to make and really did not take too much time.

Supplies needed:
  • Black craft foam (2mm thick)
  • Black round cord elastic
  • Scissors
  • Small hole punch
  • Cardstock to use for template
Step One:
Print out your Batman Mask template onto heavy cardstock and cut it out.

Step Two:
Layout your craft foam - I used the large sheets from Jo Anns (2mm thick). You can find them in the kid's craft section. 


Trace your template pattern onto the foam. Cut it out.


Step Three
Punch holes in either end of the mask. I used my Crop-a-Dile, but any hole punch will do. 


Step Four:
Tie and knot your elastic to each end.


I used this elastic from Jo Ann's. You can find it with the elastic and velcro. Usually in an aisle near the notions.



Have fun with your mask. If you choose to make your own, the template is sized for a child approximately five years old. If you have an older child or would like to make this for an adult you will have to enlarge the template to fit.

Pretty fancy, huh?


Sorry for the not so stellar photos on this tutorial. I was making these masks at night in my kitchen that does not have the greatest lighting!
