  • Place the template over a black piece on construction paper and trace the template. Cut the black construction paper along the lines.
  • Cut one corner of the discarded black construction paper into a triangle.
  • Using another piece of white construction paper, draw the framing for Darth Vader’s mask (looks like a rounded uppercase M) as well as the eyes, nose, and mouth bars. Cut them out.

  • Place the mouth bars over the triangle cut from the black construction paper. Glue down and let dry.
    Glue the Mouth Strips to the Triangles
  • To the original black mask shape, glue the white outline, eyes, and black triangle. Once the black triangle is in place, attach the nose hole and circles at the corners of the triangle. Allow the mask to dry completely.
