✂️ Craft Instructions: Turn the Template into a Mask
🧰 What You Need
- Printer + heavier paper or cardstock (65–110 lb)
- Colored pencils or markers
- Scissors
- Wooden dowel, craft stick or paper straw
- Tape or hot glue (hot glue: adults only)
Print the template on thick paper or cardstock.
Color the prop boldly – strong colors pop best in photos.

Tape a wooden dowel or paper straw to the back (blunt end up).
Hold the prop up to your face and head to the photo booth!
⚠️ Safety: eye holes, craft knives and hot glue are grown-up jobs. Don’t run or play rough while wearing a mask that limits your view – and never put elastic around the neck.

Ideas for Your Photo Booth
Snap a silly face photo where everyone makes their funniest face with the big grin. Start a laugh chain – one person starts laughing and the camera catches everyone joining in. Take a before-and-after shot, serious first and then with the grin. Then have each generation hold up their favorite prop for a family photo.
Fun Facts About Smiling
Babies start smiling at people on purpose at around six weeks old. Smiling is contagious – when we see a smile, we often smile back without even thinking. Some researchers think smiling might even help lift your own mood. When taking photos, lots of people say cheese because it pulls the mouth into a smile shape. And a cheeky grin reminds many people of their own childhood.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What age is this mask suitable for?
The big grin prop is designed for ages 9 and up, teens, and adults. Older kids color and cut out the prop themselves, and an adult helps attach it to the stick – for example with a hot glue gun.
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 cardstock of at least 200 gsm (about 110 lb) so the prop doesn't bend on its stick. Wooden dowels, craft sticks, or paper straws make great handles.
Is the download free?
Yes, all masks and coloring pages on PureSketchy are 100% free for personal use, preschools, and schools.
Is there a German version?
Yes! You can find the German version at Grinsemund Fotorequisit.
