I have made plague doctor masks in the past out of card-stock, paper mache, hot glue etc, and have been fairly successful . However I'm going to try and construct a higher quality one out of leather. Hence my problem.

I have looked online for a template for the pieces (beak sides, bottom, brow, eye sockets) so that I can cut them out of the leather with little or no waste. Quality leather ain't cheap.

If anybody knows where I can get an online template that I can print out, preferably free, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Marc V.

A fellow props person was able to make one from these links I found: http://adriaandippenaar.blogspot.dk/2013/05/plague-doctor-mask-tutorial.html and http://adriaandippenaar.blogspot.dk/2013/05/blog-post.html. The brilliant idea I had and she was able to execute was to use craft foam instead of leather. The end result looked great even up-close, though it didn't have the grain you would see on leather.

Great ideas! So glad I clicked on this. I think having a bunch of people with these on would be quite creepy for a yard haunt.
