Difficulty Level = Beginner
Two of the patterns are woodland creatures – a fawn and a fox. You could add a cute bow to the deer, or some little antlers if you wanted to change it up a bit.
The other two patterns are a unicorn and a dragon. The unicorn can easily be made into a horse by omitting the horn. You could really make these your own by switching up the colors. One of the fun things about these is the ability to experiment.
Our Facebook group is a great place to get help, share your tips and creations! We are a friendly bunch, and we love to help and see what you have made.
Please read the full instructions before getting started.
Wash, dry, and press your fabric before starting your project. A bit of prep now prevents shrinking and means your garment will stay the same size you made it.
Never leave a child or baby unattended or allow to sleep in a garment made from one of our patterns with ties, snaps, buttons, or anything they could remove, choke on, or get caught on. Always use caution if you are unsure. We love our patterns, but we love your bundles of joy more!

Printing Your PatternSettings
The pattern is a separate download. Choose either the US letter paper, A4 paper, or A0 paper size based on the printer you wish to use. If you are in the US or Canada then your printer will likely use US letter paper. Other regions normally use A4 paper. Some people prefer to print their patterns at a print shop: A0 is best in this case.
Print at 100%.
On the second page, you will find a 1-inch and a 3-inch square test box. Print this page first, on its own, and measure these squares.
Once you are happy that the test box is accurate, print the rest of the pattern pages.
Please follow this video for information and assistance on assembling this pattern.
Also, please note that some Rebecca Page patterns and projects also come with cut files and a printable design page which you can use to plan your project if you wish. These are provided in a separate section below to avoid any confusion!

- Trace your pattern pieces onto your fusible web.
- Cut around each color group and iron onto your felt.
- Cut out your felt pieces, peel off the backing from the fusible web and iron them onto the main mask piece one by one.
- After you have ironed on all of the pieces, trace your main pattern pieces onto a piece of felt and cut out.
- Cut a piece of ribbon to fit around your child’s head. I cut my ribbon to 38 inches. Place it down across the center of your pattern.
- Peel the backing off your main pattern piece and iron it onto the back piece, layering the ribbon between the pieces. Cut out the eyes, trim around the mask if any stray parts are showing.
- If your ribbon will fray, fold the ends back ¼ inch and then a ¼ inch again and then sew close to the fold.
- This last step is optional, but I feel it gives it a more professional look. With matching thread, topstitch along your pattern pieces using a longer straight stitch. I set my length to 3. This also helps hold everything together.

1.To start print out your pattern pieces. Make sure you print them at 100% and check the 1 inch square to be sure they printed the correct size.
Cut out all of the pieces and trace them onto the smooth side of your fusible web, grouping them by color.
Cut around each color group and iron onto your felt. Check your iron settings aren’t too hot for your felt. I ironed on a cotton setting and had no problem.
Be sure to read the directions for your particular fusible web to be sure you are doing it correctly. One last note is to be sure that you are tracing and cutting out mirror images for items that go on both sides of the face like the whiskers on the fox.

3 .3.After you have ironed on all of the pieces, trace your main pattern pieces onto a piece of felt and cut out. You do not need fusible web on these pieces since it is already on the back of your other main piece.
