Enjoy DIY! A Collection of Beard Ideas (1–10)
A moustache made from a mask
This is a simple beard craft that creates a comical look by combining pieces cut from a mask.
First, cut the mask so that only the elastic bands and the top and bottom parts remain, and paint the top and bottom pieces in a color that blends with your face.
Next, take the cut-out section, rotate it, and attach it to the lower part of the mask.
Trim the edges and add slits so the beard looks spread out.
Finally, cut the leftover pieces into thin strips and stick them onto the upper part of the mask under the nose like a mustache, and you’re done.
Pay attention to the length and thickness of each piece to aim for a more realistic beard.
Santa’s beard made with tissue paper
A soft, voluminous white beard made by combining tissue paper and a face mask that pairs well with a Santa Claus costume.
First, fold white tissue paper and snip it with scissors to create frilly strips.
Then, fold another sheet of tissue paper into a triangle and glue the frills onto it, staggering the layers.
Trim it to match the width of the mask and attach it, and you’re done.
If you don’t like the frills touching your face, we recommend wearing it over a regular mask.
Stick-on mustache that’s simple to make
A simple, fluffy fake mustache made with faux fur—if you use the same fur for the eyebrows to match the mustache, it should give a unified look.
Start by cutting paper into the shape of the mustache you want, then cut the fur to that shape, and refine the overall outline and hair length.
Next, stick double-sided tape onto the surface of a bandage, attach the cut fur to it, and you’re done.
The small kindness of using a bandage to adhere it to the skin might be an important point for ease of use.

It’s a comical and cute mascot with a nose and whiskers attached to the end of a stick.
The fun part is that you can hold it in front of your face to instantly show a different expression, like an easy disguise.
All you need is an easy-to-hold stick and materials like pipe cleaners and pom-poms—just keep in mind the nose-and-whiskers shape, and feel free to finish it in any colors and forms you like.
Dog and cat shapes are classics, but simply changing the colors can completely alter the look, so it’s fun to try a variety of patterns.
Ghost’s whiskers
Let’s try adding a black mustache to a white ghost.
Even a scary ghost turns cute with a mustache! Use white construction paper for the ghost and black construction paper for the mustache.
If you make the ghost’s hands using the children’s handprints, you can keep a record of their growth, too.
Ghosts often bring to mind Halloween or summer courage tests, so why not make this craft around those times? It’s especially perfect for indoor Halloween decorations.
If you create other facial features besides the mustache, it will turn into a unique, personalized piece.

Introducing a simple mustache that lets you enjoy the cozy feel of felt.
Double up the felt, cut it into a mustache shape, and sew it with a sewing machine.
Using a machine is quick, and you can even express the flow of the mustache hair with the stitching.
If you’re not comfortable with a sewing machine, try using glue or other methods.
A longer mustache is recommended, as the design fits nicely around the mouth.
It could give you a different vibe when playing with friends.
How about trying on a felt mustache? It might also look nice as a wall decoration during the Christmas season.
Become Santa with handprints
Here’s a bearded craft I’d love for you to try making during the Christmas season in December.
When you make a Santa Claus craft using construction paper or a paper plate, you add a beard, right? You can certainly make it from paper as is, but try using handprints.
After stamping a handprint, attach it to the Santa craft with the fingers pointing downward.
At home, kids will probably be excited about the step where they ink their hands and press them onto the paper.
If the beard is made from a handprint, Santa looks even cuter.
