Find out how to make a Ninja mask using only a t-shirt!
Whether your little one has chosen a ninja for Halloween this year (we’ll have two this year) or just likes to dress up, I’m going to show you how to make a ninja mask that’s super cool in just seconds out of any t-shirt!
Most importantly, the t-shirt does not get ruined, you’ll still be able to wear it!
I actually have two different ways, you can decide which style you like best. The red mask will work better for shirts that have a print on the front.
How to make a Ninja mask from a t-shirt
Step one: grab a tee, this blue one is plain with no design on the front.
Step two: place the tee over your childs head with the neck hole around the face.
Step three: turn your child around, grab hold of the sleeves and tie behind the head.
Step four: pull up the tee to cover the face, so only the eyes are showing! Voila, you’ve got a ninja in the house!
He really should have had his LEGO Ninjago tee on for this demo, but hey, it’s awesome! Even Emmett says so!
Here’s the other way, which is the same but different and uses a printed tee.
Step one: grab a tee, this red one has a design on the front. Turn it inside out so the tag is showing to the front.
Step two: place the tee over your childs head with the neck hole around the face.
Step three: turn your child around, grab hold of the sleeves and tie behind the head.
Step four: pull up the tee to cover the face and roll under to tuck the tag in. Only the eyes should be showing! Voila, you’ve got a ninja in the house!
Ninja Birthday Party
If you are throwing a Ninja themed birthday party, this is a really fun and cost effective way to turn all the party goers into little ninjas. Ask each child to bring along an extra tee or grab a few from the dollar store!

we’ve never had a problem with it

this is an essential skill. it should be taught in schools so we can have a legion ninjas at the ready to defend our bacon.
Great idea. We tried it and played ninja for a half an hour. Thanks!
Ha ha thanks! This is important info for parents of boys! (Or girls who like ninjas)
Since i showed them how to do this they are going around like ninja s all the time lol
I like the fact that you are not destroying a shirt. The second way is my choice.
The kids here have so much fun with that
This is so great! Something my boy would LOVED back in the day!
Im going to pass this idea on to my daughter
This will be great for Halloween for the boys!
I didn’t realize how simple it is to Make a Ninja Mask. It’s simplicity is amazing and little boys(and girls) will love them and so will MOms and Dads.
It’s very easy and doesn’t ruin the shirt at all
Good to know could work for a simple last minute Halloween costume too!
This is so simple and such a great way to repurpose unwanted tees!
So fun! My boys would get a kick out of this!!
Quite a cool way to use the shirt as a costume.
My grandkids are still getting a kick out of this one !
This will be fun to make when the weather improves.
simple and awesome! thanks for sharing my nephews will love this idea
I have to keep looking at these photos of the boys, you just have to love the photos showing the laughter and mischief in their eyes. 🙂
Impressive looking mask for sure.
The kids would love this one. Its so easy to do also. Going to have a log of ninja’s running around.
