In this article we’re going to look at how to create your own dog mask. We’ll cover the basics and then go on to take a look at a number of the more advanced tips and tricks which you can use.
If you have a dog that likes to bark, and particularly if your dog loves to play in the garden and other areas of the home, you need to get them some particular dog protection.
Paper Plate 3d Dog Mask DIY Materials: This is the first part of the set-up that will look a little scary at first, but it’s really very simple. All you have to do is take a cardboard cutting board and cut the cardboard into the shape of your mask. You can’t just cut a rectangular shape out of the cardboard, so you will have to cut around the edge of the mask so that you get something that looks like a cone. The main thing here is to be realistic with what type of paper plate that you’re using.

Make sure that the edges are cut so the edges aren’t sharp, as this can damage the edges of the mask.
Glue it on! The next step involves using some paint. You should spray the paint over the cardboard, making sure that it runs smoothly and evenly across the whole mask. You will want to start with one side of the mask first, so that you can work your way around it before moving onto the other side. The paint has to be slightly thicker than the cardboard, and it is best that you leave about one-third of an inch of paint on the edges so that it runs over the cardboard.
Don’t worry too much about the paint getting stuck to your mask. It’s easy to remove it later, and it will leave you with a wonderful finished mask to show off to everyone! It’s also a good idea to wipe away any excess paint once you’re done, so that you don’t end up with smudges or smears on your dog.
Then it’s time to glue the mask onto your dog’s head. First you need to make sure that you get a secure fit between the mask and your dog’s head. As soon as you’ve made sure that it’s secure, then you can start to glue the mask onto the dog’s face. Take the piece of cardboard that’s used for the base of the mask and fold it over. Be certain it’s quite strong and then use your hands to secure the cardboard down in place.
Keep your hands out of the way and use tape to hold it in place as you repeat the process on the cardboard folds until you have the mask snugged firmly onto the face of your dog. Do not make the folds too big or else it could look messy. As soon as you’ve done this, you can then take out the mask and attach the cardboard ears. And attach the other part of the mask onto the dog. Be sure the ears are flat and be sure that it’s not too short or long as this will cause some problems with the mask slipping off the dog’s face.
If you are using a dog mask as your dog protection, you’ll have to do some sanding to be sure that it is safe on your dog. You can do this by sanding off any excess paper that may have been eliminated from your mask.
