How to Create an Affordable Mascot Head

Step 3 Cut Out Room for Your Head

One-by-one, cut out room for your head. When you do this the first time, make it tight on your head. You can always cut more later. If you cut too much in this step you have to discard the piece and redo it. In these pictures I cut a space much larger than my head. I did this to make room for a construction helmet (you will see in a later step). I also cut space for ventilation fans which you will want if you plan to wear it for four or more hours without taking it off.

may ask what are the 2 holes cut at the top of each piece?

I wanted to have air flow in the head. I wore it for many hours each day. So I put holes near the ears and I mounted small fans (taken from some old personal computers) and mounted them inside near the holes. I then used some 9 voly batteries in a chain to power the fans. They really worked great.
