A shiny stage microphone with a classic grille head – with this printable microphone prop, every guest becomes a star on stage. Color it, cut it out, and attach it to a stick. This free photo booth prop is perfect for a Hollywood party, karaoke nights, and any show.
Why This Microphone Is Stage-Ready
A vintage stage mic with a grille head brings back the big show stages where singers once performed their hits. In photos, it instantly looks like you're belting out a song or giving an acceptance speech. The grille head made of big squares is easy to color, like in silver or gold. For kids 9 and up, teens, and adults, it's a prop that brings stage magic to any photo booth.

✂️ 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 Hollywood Photo Booth
One guest sings into the mic with eyes closed while everyone else cheers like a crowd. A reporter with a mic interviews the star of the night. Hand out gold paper stars and let each guest give a thank-you speech into the mic. Then have the whole group belt out the chorus of their favorite song for a karaoke shot.
Fun Facts About Microphones
A microphone turns sound waves, like your voice, into electrical signals that speakers can play back loudly. The grille on top protects the delicate parts inside and cuts down on puffing sounds. Karaoke comes from Japan and means something like empty orchestra, because the music plays without the vocals. On many stages, people test the mic with the famous words: testing, testing, one, two. Today, tiny microphones are built into phones, headphones, and even toys.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What age is this mask suitable for?
The microphone 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 Mikrofon Fotorequisit.
