Krampus | Printable Christmas Demon Mask | PDF Download

Love their masks. I’ve put a lot together over the years and I have to say this one was on the difficult side

Great gift exchange item for nerdy friends

It was a fun build and not too difficult (anything with the curved horns/tentacles takes a little more care). Changed up the colors to make it more in brown and it was popular at the gift exchange. One note is that the final product is very long/tall, so watch out for ceilings and archways.

Krampus Mask Review

First time building a low poly masks. The website lists this as a 3 to 4 hour build but the instructions state 5 to 6. Took me right around six hours including coloring. Double sided tape is your friend for doing the horns. Not really sure how else one could do them without some super fast acting glue. There is definitely a learning curve with building the horns. A long wooden dowel would be helpful. Longer than your typical pen/pencil. You end up with a bunch of tabs that you just can't get pressure on the backside of in order to have adhesion. During test wearing the mask is a bit top heavy with the horns. Keeps wanting to ride up on me. I'll be trying some penny weights in the bottom chin of the mask to see if I can't get it to balance better. Instructions recommend using a 300 g/m2 weight paper. That seems a bit uncommon in the US. Built mine using 200 g/m2 cardstock which is pretty easy to find at office supply stores. Seems sturdy enough but wouldn't mind the bit extra stiffness the heavy paper would probably give. Although I can also see it making the horns even more challenging to put together.
