How to make a Scary Scarecrow Mask (With Moveable Jaw)

This is my first instructable so bare with me please. Ill do my best to explain each step carefully and I hope this gives some people ideas or inspiration for other things.

Step 1: Get some Materials.

For this Mask I simply used things i actually had around the house.

- Sheet of Bristol Board (Or cardstock)
- Yellow construction paper
- Duct Tape
- Scissors
- Burlap (I have a whole bunch of this stuff that ive been using over and over for decorating during Halloween, Lots of people use it to cover up trees in the winter, Have a look around, shouldnt be difficult to get some)
- Hot Glue gun
-Thumb Tacks

Read through the instructable. Maybe you can substitute something for something else you might find better.

Thank you so much for your well done instructable. I was able to reproduce it quite easily with a minimum number of hot-glue burns! It was quite a hit, and I accessorized it with a pair of gloves; fingers extended with cardboard, and covered in the remaining burlap. Also added a bit of straw sticking out here and there.

You did a great job with the initial construction, as well as the documentation. A job well done. Thank you again. BTW, I did manage to scare some co-workers into a minor loss of bladder control! Very satisfying!

I have a good idea for teeth; i used it this method for a mummy mask. I looked at the shape of my teeth and drew them life size on a piece of paper, then filled the drawings with hot glue, then cut out the shape, and glued them in my mask...

OMG, this would be soooo perfect to sit on your front porch looking like a stuffed prop, and then suddenly lunge at the unsuspecting children. I wouldn't recommend doing that to large black men though. (Look for "Never scare a brother" on youtube.)

First thought- Oogie Boogie.

I've actually been hearing that a lot in the early stages. Also an Egyptian sphinx I was gettin in early stages. Perhaps I can recycle it next year.

where did you get the hat?

[Monster Mark]

At a Halloween store. Was fairly cheap, only $8.99 i believe.
I bought it at Value Village here in Canada. But i believe its a mass produced item you could find anywhere.

Now I know what to wear on Halloween. Thanks, Monster Mark.

Seriously, that is one disturbing mask, especially with the extra details.
