Cool stencils for cutting out paper for Halloween - a selection of DIY decorations
To decorate your home in an original and fun way for Halloween, do-it-yourself paper cutting stencils are ideal. Such versatile templates are suitable for decorating walls, windows, furniture or even treats.
A selection of cool stencils for Halloween decorations that you can cut out of paper.
For example, the following selection of cool stencils for cutting out paper for Halloween contains images of the most popular characters of this holiday: a witch, a spider, a vampire, a ghost.
Volumetric masks
Volumetric structures for the holiday take a little longer to make than flat ones, but the result looks more interesting. For girls, masks of witches, black cats, bats, mummies are suitable, for guys - vampire masks, depicting horned demons, sorcerers, skulls, etc.
Making a gypsum base
To make such a mask, you will need a volunteer, who should be laid horizontally, fatty cream to lubricate the face, paper towels, and glue.
How it's done:
- the cream is thickly applied to the face, special attention is paid to the eyelashes and hairline;
- paper towels are torn into pieces, soaked in glue, placed on the face, avoiding the openings of the nostrils;
- After applying several layers, the product is dried with a hairdryer and carefully removed from the face.
Next, a plaster cast is made, for which you will need:
- alabaster;
- water;
- sand;
- containers;
- fat cream;
- mixer;
- scotch.
Gypsum is mixed in a container to a homogeneous consistency, applied to a paper base with a layer of about two centimeters from the inside. Later, the required mask will be sculpted on such a plaster base.
Alabaster can also be applied directly to the face, protecting the eyes with film overlays and inserting tubes into the nostrils. Then places where it should not go are protected with tape or cardboard limiters. If the negative base is not too smooth, it is lightly sanded, after which the positive base is poured in, and the previous structure is divided into two halves.
From papier-mâché
To make a papier-mâché mask, a plasticine base is required, or less often, the material is applied directly to the face, lubricated with fat.
From plasticine, which will take about a kilogram, a fantasy shape is molded, depicting, for example, a demon with horns. You will also need water, newspaper and toilet paper, PVA glue, and gouache paints of several colors. Afterwards, the structure is pasted over with one or two layers of torn paper moistened with water, with glue soaked on top of it. A total of six to eight layers are made, depending on the thickness of the paper. From larger pieces of thin paper, something that is difficult to sculpt is formed - facial wrinkles, folds on the face, horns and pointed ears are created. The last layer, for greater rigidity, is made of thicker paper. It is important not to forget to leave slits for the eyes, nostrils, and mouth. The structure is dried well, removed from the base, painted in red and black tones, and covered with sparkles.
From polymer clay
It is easy to make a skull mask covering the upper part of the face from white and gray polymer clay. First you need to create a drawing of the desired product. The clay is carefully applied to the face, lubricated with fat or cream, leaving slits for the eyes and a recess for the nose. The layer is made about five millimeters, and the edges of the product are made uneven, as if imitating real bones. All contours are carefully drawn with paints, the necessary irregularities, and the junctions of the “bones” of the skull are drawn with toothpicks or special stacks. The structure is fired in a kiln and varnished. A stick holder is attached to the side of the product, which can be stylized as a skeleton hand, also sculpted from plastic.

Skeleton costume options for girls
All the options listed above are too simple for girls who want to attract all the attention of others on Halloween. I suggest looking at the pictures and choosing more original solutions for yourself.
For example, an improved suit with stripes, paint or a double T-shirt in “company” with a black or white tulle “tutu” looks great. The image acquires femininity, becomes more vibrant and seductive.
No less interesting will be a skeleton costume without bones, but with revealing makeup. In this case, the desired effect can be achieved only through a long cloak with a hood, extravagant stockings and shoes, as well as makeup with a clearly drawn “bare skull”. A flirty black hat with mourning decorations will add mystical elegance to the look.
An unusual and bright skeleton outfit for a girl - based on a beautiful Gothic dress with a lace-up belt. The main detail here will be stockings with a bone pattern and makeup.
It turns out you can be a sexy skeleton too. Just wear a short black and white dress with a corset, neckline and open shoulders, matching black and white gloves above the elbow and matching stockings with knuckles. Don't forget about makeup. Make up half of your face to match the skull.
The image of the fatal skeleton girl looks inimitable. It is convenient that the suit does not need to be sewn. They assemble it from everything that is in the closet. Wear skinny black skinnies, a black top and a short blazer. The decoration will be a top hat with a veil (easy to make from cardboard), and themed face and body painting. Draw parts of the skeleton on the skin, make up your face in such a way that doubts about the plausibility of the image disappear by themselves.
There are interesting options for pregnant girls who want to have fun on the holiday. A black dress or canopy with stenciled paint bones and the same little skeleton of the baby in the belly. Modest and tasteful!
And a completely extraordinary solution - a white skeleton costume with a picture of black bones. Everything is the same as described above, with the only exception that black paint is applied to the white base of the fabric of the tight-fitting overalls. Such a skeleton definitely does not go unnoticed!

About masks
Masks are three-dimensional products that have holes for the eyes, lips, and nostrils, worn on the face to protect the skin or hide the identity. In ancient times, they were used in various rituals, ceremonies, as totems, to scare away evil spirits. They were made from leather, removing the corresponding part from the animal’s head, and cut from bark and fabric. Decorative options are used as interior decorations, are made of wood, stone, ivory, plaster, ceramics, and can have significant sizes.
In many countries, theatrical ones were widely used, the most famous ones being crying and laughing. In ancient Greek amphitheaters, bronze items were used to help the singer’s voice carry far enough. Masks were no less popular in the circus, ballet, Venice carnival, as well as various modern role-playing games.
Functional masks are divided into medical ones - saving from infection in the air, protective masks - protecting the face, eyes, respiratory organs from external influences. The latter include gas masks, respirators, ski, hockey, scuba diving, masks, anesthetic structures, etc.
In ancient times, “shameful” masks were also used for those who committed minor offenses, preventing identification - for example, an executioner mask, torture masks - iron or bronze, as well as posthumous masks - cast immediately after the death of a person, funeral masks - worn by the deceased already in the coffin.
