paper mask

Flimsy face covering

A paper mask is a lightweight face covering made from paper or cardboard, typically held in place with string or an elastic band.

Paper masks range from simple cutouts with eyeholes for children's costumes to decorative party masks and basic disposable masks for dust protection.

The term sometimes extends to papier-mâché masks, which are more durable and sculptural.
