INSTRUCTIONS FOR
PRINTING AND FOLDING

If your printer can handle thicker paper, print directly on your


cardstock and skip step 1. When using thicker or black cardstock,
we recommend printing on thin paper and adhering the mask pieces to
cardstock. Both methods will result in the printed lines and pattern
guide numbers being hidden on the inside of the finished mask.
