Creating a papier mache head of Felix Morton

Step 7 The end result

Here's the final result. I couldn't find a sweater like Mr Morton's so I cut the sleeves off an old V-neck sweater that i've never worn and I wore a white shirt underneath.

Unfortunately when I tried the mask on I discovered that the eye holes were actually too high! While it's possible to see a little bit through the holes I made, I can't walk around in the mask without someone to lead me! This meant I spent most of the party carrying his head around rather than wearing it. I posed for some pictures but had to wait in ignorance until I saw the flash through the eye holes!

I could have made his eyes bigger which wouldn't have differed too much from the character (the lines from his nose are actually meant to meet his eyes but they don't in my version), but it was too late for the party. In future, I think planning the placement of the eyes on the balloon base would be the best approach;-)

I hope you like my instructable and I challenge you to make masks of your own, game characters or otherwise. I definitely intend to do more in future. Videogame characters will never be safe again;-)
