Eagle Papercraft Template | Geometric Headdress Pattern | PDF Download

Awesome design

I have bought a few Wintercroft designs to make for festival costumes and I have been impressed with all of them. They are easy to make and can be adapted to what you need very easily. 10/10

Great piece!

Thanks a lot, it's my 3rd buy and I am still as enthusiastic and happy with your products as ever! A few comments about the eagle headdress: * The concept of headdress is great! Especially for costume parties, I was standing out, but not cut of from interacting with people, because my face was still free (so you can smile, exchange looks, etc). I had done a party with a full mask, which turned out to be not so nice, although the mask was great. Could you please do more of them? * By the way, I wore the mask at a costume party in Berlin (House of Lunacy, look it up), and there were at least 4 other persons wearing wintercroft masks. It makes a lot of sense because the party has this vibe of "DYI, but impressive", and the theme was "beasts and creatures". So you have a growing Berlin fanbase, expanding at each party! * the mask is big (not only tall, also very wide), so you need a bit of time to adapt and stop poking stuff around. It's also very hard to store after use because of this. The best solution I have found is to put in on an hat. * If you want to take pictures: it looks greater not really facing the camera, so the beak can be better seen. Some comments on the instructions: * it seems to me that the folds 81, 82, 83 and 84 on parts T and U (top of the wings, on the back side) are folded in the wrong directions: they are valley folds, but are marked as a montain fold. * the page 4 of the instructions could be clearer: the 3rd part is titled "I to U" although the second part is title "H to M", it overlaps. Also I think making the wings a separate part makes it unclear that the winds should be build on top of the head, in the end is one big part "head + wings" where you can just follow letters H to U. Or did I miss something? * I made two mistakes during constructions: placing the parts P and Q upside down (because the pointy parts looked to me like they should be up), and doing parts N & O with the wrong color. These are clearly my mistakes, , but maybe more indications could be written within the parts directly (color is outside of the part, so when you cut them out you easily loose it. there could be in the part something like "back of the left wing, suggested color dark brown, this side up". * I definitely needed much more than 3 hours (maybe 6?), and I don't think I'm specially slow with that kind of tasks... Again, thanks a lot for the work here, looking forward to see the next masks and hopefully the next headdresses.

Solid build, fun and relatively easy

One thing to note is the tail on the back of the mask. I totally missed it before I built the mask and was pleasantly surprised how cool it looked. The only challenging part of the build was the narrow forward edge of the wings, tight maneuvering to get those tabs in place, but with patience it isn't too tough. For these kinds of masks that have some pieces exposed on both sides, it would be helpful to note that on the cut out diagrams. That way I can cut those printer pieces out exactly and trace those pieces out on the card stock paper. Rather than trace out every single piece to avoid ripping the page off afterwards. Would save me an hour or two a build for sure. I think I'll make this one again out of all gold and have it be some kind of winged helmet for Mercury or Brennus or something
