- Freehand draw the facial pieces onto corrugated cardboard (old boxes).
- Cut them out.
- If you want some facial pieces to stick out more:
- freehand draw the shield/mask shape on a large piece of cardboard.

Likewise, people ask, what are three types of masks created in Africa?
Common types of African masks include face masks, which fit over the front of the wearer's face; helmet masks, which fit over the entire head; and forehead masks, which rest of the forehead and are tilted downward to make the mask look at someone.
African tribal masks
- Start by crumpling up a few pieces of paper and put them where you want to increase the size of the mask.
- Dip the pieces of plaster bandage in water and model them onto the crumpled paper and mask.
- Along the way, place small pieces of paper where it may be necessary to support the plaster bandage.
