A twisted horn, a mane of big curls, and two pretty flowers – our printable unicorn mask is pure magic to wear. Color it, cut it out, and add elastic. This free unicorn mask template is a guaranteed hit at any unicorn party or dress-up day.
Why This Unicorn Mask Is So Magical
The twisted horn in the middle of the forehead is the star and practically begs for glitter, gold, or rainbow stripes. A mane of a few big curls leaves room for lots of colors without getting too fiddly. Two flowers beside the horn add a sweet, playful touch. For kids five and up, it's a creative project where they can really let loose.

Fun Facts About Unicorns
Unicorns are mythical creatures – they only live in stories, legends, and fairy tales. Long ago, people told tales of a horse-like animal with a single horn that was said to have healing powers. In the Middle Ages, traders sometimes sold narwhal tusks as so-called unicorn horns. The unicorn is even the national animal of Scotland and appears on coats of arms. Today, it's one of kids' very favorite magical creatures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What age is this mask suitable for?
The unicorn mask is made for ages 5 to 8. Kids color and cut out the outer shape themselves, and an adult helps cut the eye holes.
Will the mask fit a child’s face?
Yes – printed at actual size (100 %) on A4 or US Letter, the mask is roughly the size of a child’s face. For adults, scale it up to 110–115 % or print on A3/Tabloid.
What paper works best?
We recommend 160–200 gsm cardstock (65 lb) so the horn stands tall and holds glitter well.

Is there a German version?
Yes! You can find the German version at Einhorn Maske.
