Ogre Mask Pattern
for Paper Mache
$12
Make this Ogre mask and go wild on Halloween!
This crazy paper mache mask is easy to make, because the downloadable PDF Ogre mask pattern makes all the shapes for you.
Just add a layer of paper mache and some paint to create a custom-made scary mask for your next Halloween or Fancy-Dress costume.
Maybe add a few wrinkles or warts, or a fright wig? It’s up to you! No matter how you finish this mask, it’s sure to start some conversations at your next party. 🙂
How to Use the Ogre Mask Pattern:
Print the pattern pieces, attach them to cardboard, and cut them out.
Tape the pieces together, following the instructions that are included with the pattern.
Add paper strips and paste, or a layer of paper mache clay – check the ‘recipes’ tab above.
Bring your new ogre mask or sculpture to life with paint and your own imagination.
Finished size – About 10 inches (25.4 cm) high, 6 inches (15.24 cm) wide and 9 inches (22.86 cm) deep. It will fit an “average” adult head, but you can print it larger or smaller if you need a different size.
Be sure to watch the videos below to see how the pieces are taped together, and how I painted mine. Of course, you can paint your own Ogre mask any way you like. 🙂

great job, have you ever done a chimp or gorilla …
Hi Brenda. I have sculpted both a chimp and a gorilla, but I was experimenting with both of them and didn’t make tutorials. I also didn’t make a pattern, although I have considered making a gorilla mask pattern someday. Have you made one?
Hi no I haven’t but this reminded me of one sorta lol. A mask would be cool…
Great fun Jonni….your talent never ceases to amaze me…Thank you. 🙂
Thanks, Pam! 🙂
Fun mask Jonni. And actually the movie Shrek has been made into a musical so ogre masks just might be the ticket in the future!
It’s interesting how many kid’s movies are being turned into musicals – it’s a great way to get students excited about the theater. (And I forgot Shrek was an ogre – 🙂 )
