Praying mantis paper mask

Would you like to be unique, unusual and surprising and avoid clichés? Are you interested in insects and are fascinated by their diversity? Why not let the praying mantis inspire you when creating your Halloween costume? The praying mantis stands out from the diverse multitude of insects with its dramatic appearance.

Large, compound eyes, tentacles, triangular head. These external features can be well represented as a paper mask. The praying mantis’ characteristic weapon-like grasping arm, also known as the serrated front predatory leg, can also be modeled well from paper. These accessories that can be attached to your arm will make your appearance truly that of a praying mantis. You can create further personalized features by choosing colors, paper quality and additional decorations.

They are ideal for wearing to festivals, carnivals, masquerades, parties.
