Step 2Make a lifecast
As Wikipedia defines a lifecast "is the process of creating a three-dimensional copy of a living human body" in this case just the face. I found an excellent instructible on this (Lifecasting-Hands) so I wont go into that much detail. Sorry forgot to take pics
First put a bald cap on so it covers your hair.
Second apply the petroleum jelly to all facial hair like eyebrows, eyelashes etc.
Third mix alginate and apply over face and let dry (it will turn rubbery) put straws in nose so you can breath.
Fourth wet plaster bandages and apply over dry alginate and let harden.
Fifth, wiggle your face to loosen alginate, pull off alginate and plaster bandages together, the plaster bandages keeps the shape of your face. This is a negative of your face.
Lastly mix and pour plaster into the negative, let dry and then you will have a positive of your face!!
