These DIY Christmas Masks are a super fun activity to do with your kids during the holiday season. You can make them with your Cricut.

This is a super fun DIY project that you can make for your kids to color. All you need to do to make these Coloring Masks is add the outlines to the masks using this Cricut file.

The Cricut file and designs are properly sized so that you can apply several different clip art to your Christmas face masks. 

For these face coverings, we have cute clip art of candy canes, Christmas wreath, holiday bell, mittens, stockings, holly, Christmas ornaments, and a Santa hat.

Cut around the designs so that you can place them on the mask. 

Pressing Everyday Iron-On 

Check the material of the mask before pressing. It makes a difference if the mask is 100% cotton or a blend of cotton. The Cricut Heat Guide is my go to choice for 

If you are using a 100% cotton mask like we did here, follow these instructions.

Set the Cricut Mini Press to Medium with 2 bars lit up. Wait until the light turns green. 

The Cricut EasyPress Mini does not have a timer so just your phone timer or Alexa to time. 

Place the whole design to get the spacing. 

Preheat the masks with the EasyPress Mini for 5 seconds before adding the vinyl. 

Place iron-on material face down, liner side up. 

Press while moving with light pressure at medium setting for 25 seconds. 

Flip 100% cotton over and press for 15 seconds. 

Slowly remove liner while warm, not cold. 

Mask Care NOTES 

Allow 24 hours after application before washing

Wash and tumble dry is fine, but do not bleach.
