 Instructions for
Printing and Folding
Print on thin Paper and adhere the mask pieces to cardboard. This method
will result in the printed lines and pattern guide numbers being hidden on the
inside of the finished mask.

(1) Print your mask pieces on plain
printer paper.
(2) Glue the mask pieces to the back
of your cardboard. We recommend
using spray adhesive or a glue stick as
other types of glue may make the
paper too wet.
(3) Cut out the pattern pieces along
the solid cutting lines.
Note: the dashed lines are folding
lines, make sure not to cut them!
(4) Using a thick sewing needle or
blunt knife and a ruler, score along the
folding lines.
(5) Refer to the diagram below and fold
along the creases either bringing the
two edges towards you (Valley Fold)
for the plain dashed line folds or away
from you (Mountain Fold) for the dot/-
dashed line folds.
(6) Proceed to Assembly Instructions
section.

 The Fitting Band
The fitting band for your mask will be made from strips of
cardboard paper and can be adjusted to get a good fit.

(1) Cut 3 strips of A4/US letter paper.
Each strip should measure 1.5"
wide (40mm) and the length will be
the full length of the page.
(2) Stick the short ends of the strips
together with tape to make one
long strip of paper.
(3) Wrap the long strip around your
head, overlapping the ends; make
sure that the resulting band is a
snug fit.
(4) Tape the ends closed to make one
continuous loop of paper.
(5) Cut out 2 rectangles from the sheet
of paper, each one should measure
1.5" x 4” (40mm x 100mm).
(6) Tape one rectangle on either side
of the band (see drawing below).
(7) Place the fitting band inside of the
mask and tape it to the back of
the mask.
