Leather Dog Mask Pattern – Puppy Hood & Pet Play Mask

A playful mask with personality

Leather dog mask pattern is a project for those who want to create something bold and expressive. This puppy leather hood turns a simple sheet of leather into a mask full of character. With floppy ears, detailed straps, and an adjustable fit, it brings out the playful spirit of a dog while showing off your leatherworking skills.

Materials you’ll need

For this pet play mask, I recommend vegetable-tanned leather with a thickness of 1.6–2.0 mm (4–5 oz). This weight gives the mask both durability and flexibility so it’s comfortable to wear.

You will also need:

• Rivets – 24 pcs

• Buckles – 5 pcs (the belt is 2 cm / 0.79 in wide in the pattern)

These materials are easy to source, and the final result depends on how you choose to finish and dye your leather.

Finished size

The mask comes in a universal adult size with adjustable straps. Thanks to the buckles, it can be fitted comfortably for different head sizes, making it versatile for many users.
