Build With Recycled Materials

Loyal servant or archetypal trickster? Arlecchino can be both in the 16th-century Italian form of drama known as Commedia Dell’ Arte. The history of what is more commonly known as Harlequin spans back to carnival performers of the Middle Ages. “When Arlecchino appeared in France in the comédie Italiènne, he became known as Arlequin. In the 18th century, the character became known in England as Harlequin with his role as the lead in the harlequinade - the forerunner to pantomime.” – Cheryl Stapleton of Learning Through Theatre

    We designed these masks specifically to help teachers, so if you would like to use them in an educational setting, please get in touch via our contact page, so that we can let you know how to go about this. The minimum age we suggest for this set would be 13+. Due to the level of expression required for Commedia Dell’ Arte masks, they take more dexterity to assemble than many of our animal masks. For younger children, our Woodland or Jungle Animal Sets work great.

    What Our Customers Are Saying

    FAQs

    Will you ship this mask to me?

    For the majority of our masks (including this one), you won’t receive a physical item in the mail; it’s a digital download. Once your payment is complete, you’ll get an instant PDF download link via email so you can print and build it yourself at home.

    How do I download and print the mask?

    After purchase, click the download link in the confirmation email to save the PDF to your computer. Then open it in a PDF reader (e.g., Adobe Reader) and print on paper or card of your choice (A4 or US Letter Paper). You can then glue your templates to thicker card, cut out, score, and assemble your mask using the included instructions.

    What materials do I need to build the mask?

    You’ll need a home printer, A4 or US Letter paper, card (approx. 300 gsm cardboard is recommended), scissors or a craft knife, and tape or glue. No special skills are required; the template is designed to be easy and fun to assemble.

    Will the mask fit an adult or a child?

    Masks are scaled to fit an average adult head, but you can scale the print down (e.g., ~85–90%) to make versions that fit children. You may need to experiment based on head size.

    Can I share, sell, or use these templates or masks commercially?

    By purchasing and downloading our mask templates, you agree to our terms of use. All files are protected by copyright and must not be shared, copied, or distributed in any form. The templates — and any masks you create from them — are for personal use only. Commercial use is not permitted without prior written consent, and selling items made from these designs is strictly prohibited.

    Awesome horn skull mask - worth the work!

    We made this mask for Halloween for my oldest son, and attached el-wire. It looked so great, and he got so many compliments. The horns were a bit tricky. We painted them with primer and then acrylic paint, and it looked awesome. I'm kind of addicted to making these masks now!

    Laura

    Super satisfied

    I was looking for a specific type of mask. I wanted to make a skull mask. But I couldn’t find something that would fit (and also in my budget) until I found Wintercroft! I 100% recommend it because the instructions are easy to follow and the results are great! No regret for me, I will search on the Wintercroft website for my future projects.

    Hedwig mask

    Our son wore this to school as Hedwig from Harry Potter for Book Week. As he walked into the playground, three boys who had been talking stopped, all looked at him, and one said: 'Now THAT's cool'. Anyone who asked him about it, he directed them to your website. All in all, a great response!

    What a great resource

    This mask was a lifesaver. It's Book Week, and your child wants to go as a dragon. I was already imagining trying to bend a bunch of papier-mache to my will when I came across this site. Not technically difficult, if you can use scissors and sticky tape, and you've got a little time up your sleeve, you can get a good result.

    These masks are SO MUCH FUN


    Having tried several different vendors for this type of project, Wintercroft is THE BEST. They are well designed, user-friendly, and just spectacular when finished. The school I work for is doing a production of The Lion King by middle school students, and with a tight budget, these masks have been an incredible, creative, and unique solution for the production.

    I shall be very late

    It was pretty fun to make! I really like the sophisticated minimal design. Wasn't the first purchase on this site and definitely not the last.

    fantastic!!

    The instructions are super easy, like putting LEGO together. I was able to decorate the mask with faux fur, and it looks so good!!!

    Jaberwock success

    This is probably my 10th Wintercoft mask I’ve made. A great model to make and very clear and easy-to-follow instructions.
