Steps
Print the cardboard mask, lens and fabric templates at full size. Check the scale against your head before cutting anything.
Trace the cardboard mask template onto cardboard and cut it out with scissors or a craft knife. Cut slowly around the eye openings.
Score and fold the cardboard along the template lines so the mask curves to fit your face. Test the fit and trim the edges.
Cut the fabric mask template from red stretch fabric, leaving a small seam allowance. Cut the black webbing strips if your template includes them.
Glue or stitch the fabric over the front of the cardboard shell. Pull it smooth and press the edges around the back.
Cut the lens shapes from the lens template using clear plastic or mesh. Glue the black lens frames around them.
Attach the lenses to the mask over the eye openings. Line them up with your own eyes before the glue sets.
Add the black webbing lines across the red fabric with marker, fabric paint or thin black strips. Let everything dry fully.
Fix an elastic band or strap to both sides of the mask. Try it on and adjust the length so it sits snug but not tight.
Tips and common mistakes
Use a craft knife on a cutting mat for the eye holes, and keep your fingers behind the blade.
Stretch fabric hides glue lines better than stiff cotton, so pick a fabric with some give.
Test the mask fit before gluing the lenses so you do not have to rip them off.
Hot glue stays hot, so press parts together with a scrap stick rather than your fingers.
Questions
Do I need a sewing machine?
No. You can glue the fabric to the cardboard shell. Hand stitching is optional if you want a neater edge.
What fabric works best for the mask?
A stretch fabric in red works best because it wraps around the curved cardboard without wrinkling. Thin cotton is harder to smooth.
Can I breathe through the mask?
Only if you leave the mouth and nose area open or add small vent holes. Do not cover your face fully for long periods.
