Alebrije animal mask craft activity, tutorial and easy to make templates

This set of printable alebrije masks were created after being inspired by the Mexican folk art carvings of vibrant Alebrije sculptures. Depicting animals, people, objects, and imaginary creatures painted with intense colors and intricate patterns.

Mix and match masks from the set to create your own mythical forest beast!

 The first Alebrijes originated with the artist Pedro Linares.

In 1936, when he was 30 years old, Linares fell ill with a high fever, which caused him to hallucinate.  He had a high fever with vibrant hallucinations and dreamt of walking in a forest with brightly colored creatures, consisting of wings, horns, tails, fierce teeth and bulging eyes. At the end of his dream, Linares heard voices repeating the nonsense word “alebrije.”
