Honey Badger ain’t got nothin’ on my badger mask. If you are not familiar with the honey badger youtube videos and you do not mind a few bad works then check them out. My son wants to take his little sister trick or treating and does not want to get all dressed up. He is at the in-between stage where he wants to be cool yet he still wants to be a little kid. And by all means, I am going to encourage him to be a kid. To please him and his need for a costume we came up with several masks that he can wear and his little sister can play with after trick or treating.
To make the Badger Mask you will need:
- sewing machine or fabric glue
- thread & scissors
- oly-fun in black white and grey
- pattern or freehand the mask
- large eyelets and eyelet setting tool
- elastic cording
- hole punch ( I use a crop-a-dile)
Instructions for Badger mask:
- Freehand draw or download pattern. Transfer to grey oly-fun.
- Cut two bases of slate grey and sew or glue together.
- Cut a strip of white for the center and sew on. ( I freehanded)
- Cut a small oval for the nose. ( I freehanded)
- Punch holes in the side of the mask. Insert eyelets and set.
- Tie elastic on to fit head of the wearer snuggly – but not tight.
- ENJOY
This is a picture of the mask. Print or enlarge to fit your child.

Such a fun idea! Thanks for joining!
What a cute idea. It came out great!!
This is a great idea. My daughter is the same way thinks she is to old to go trick or treating yet she still wants to take her little brothers.
My son told a few friends my idea and now they want them too. I have a request for a cow and lightning?
This is a cute idea. The idea of “sewing” intimidates me but this looks doable.
This is such a cute mask for Halloween! We may have to try to make this!
You can do a lot of different animals with this probably. Looks super cute.
That is seriously adorable. And I love that it seems so easy to make.
Very cute – great Halloween mask! Also a perfect mask making activity while learning about animals!
This is a craft that can be easily done with a small group of children – especially if I am watching them for more than an hour and have everything cut out first! Best Aunt EVER again!
Oh that is super cute! It turned out great! Great for anytime of the year!
I like how simple this is to make. It would be fun for kids all year long.
This is a great idea for older kids like you suggested.
That is so adorable, and this pattern could easily be great for a few different animals as well!
Oh that turned out great! Cute easy idea!
This is cute. My kids would wear this all of the time. They have a thing for masks.
Very cool idea! I am so scared of animal masks though, but this one is an exception!
Too cute! I have a little boy that would love this!
Wow! This looks great! I could probably pick out some different colors too! Fantastic!
How cute! My kids would probably wear this year round!
It is very cute. Plus it doesn’t have all the fussy frills that some other masks have…
