Easy Pattern for a Paper Mache Hyena Mask
$7
This Hyena mask has been used in many school theater productions of the Lion King.
This is a downloadable PDF Pattern with full illustrated instructions: You’ll be able to download your pattern right after you order. You’ll also receive an email with the download link, and a separate receipt. The emails may take a few minutes to arrive. If you don’t see them, be sure to check your spam or promotions folder.
The pattern is first printed and then traced onto cardboard. After the cardboard pieces are taped together, you’ll add additional shaping with foil and hot glue or masking tape. After that, your hyena mask is ready for a ‘skin’ of paper mache and acrylic paint .
This is a fairly easy project, but kids might need help cutting out the pattern and putting the pieces together.

If you prefer to reach me privately, you can send an email to [email protected] – I get a ton of spam and I don’t want your email to get lost, so please put “paper mache” in the subject line. If you don’t hear back from me within 24 hours, assume the cyberspace gremlins ate your email and try again.
I used your template to make a dog for my school project! Had to tweak tons of things, but eventually finished. I’m not 100% happy with it, but I think it’s pretty okay for my first try.
Do you have a photo of it that you’d be willing to share, so we can see it? I’d love to see how it came out.
Ove love love your job!! Congratulations!!
