Big blossoms, sweeping scallops, and a hint of fine lace โ our printable lace mask looks delicate and elegant all at once. Color it, cut it out, and add elastic. This free lace mask template is a stylish pick for any masquerade ball or carnival celebration.
Why This Lace Mask Looks So Delicate
The floral and scallop patterns echo real lace, but they're drawn large on purpose so they're easy to color and cut. The mask looks especially elegant in just one or two colors, like black and gold or white and silver. For a true lace look, you can cut out some of the spaces between the patterns with an adult's help and a craft knife. For kids 9 and up and teens, it's a project for steady hands and an eye for detail.
Big blossoms like real lace.
Graceful curls in the pattern.
Spaces can be cut out.

Ideas for Your Masquerade
Hold a two-color style challenge and crown the most elegant mask at the end. Dance to classical music and take a bow each time it stops. Hold the masks up to a lamp and watch their lace patterns appear as shadows on the wall. Then snap photos against dark fabric so the fine patterns really stand out.
Fun Facts About Lace
Lace is an open, airy fabric with beautiful patterns that was once made entirely by hand. A small piece could take a lace maker many hours or even days. The little island of Burano near Venice is famous for its needle lace. Another style, bobbin lace, is made by twisting threads wound on wooden bobbins. Lace masks are still a favorite at masquerade balls because they look mysterious yet light.
