This is my second build themed around the 'Saw' movies for our halloween party. It details the construction of a replica head trap as worn by Amanda in the first saw movie. This costume is for my fiance who puts up with my weirdness but also goes to the same parties. It should probably be pointed out about now that this wont actually rip her head off if she doesnt escape it in time.
The first costume was the Billy puppet also from the saw movies. It can be found here: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-the-Jigsaw-Killers-puppet-Billy-for-/
This build is again designed to be very cheap and is also made from cardboard and newspaper and PVA. The details will be written as completely as possible but it is worth noting that this is only one design. I would never be able to copy this exactly as I have used several of my unique bits in this one. The basics would be the same but the devil is in the details.

This project uses PVA glue and paper to smooth over a cardboard base, hopefull making it look metallic and a bit more substantial than just cardboard.
Materials you will need:
Newspaper, saved from our recyling this is a cheap material for any project.
Cardboard, Corrugated and normal, we recently gained a vast quantity of corrugated thanks to a trip
to Ikea.
The following materials are things I own in quantity and could be considered stock items. The exact details are impossible to define, these create the details of the mask so can be added to the makers own tastes.
Plastic tubing, Balsa wood, Soda bottle lids, plastic gears,
Tools you will need:
There is nothing special here, just a few things you probably already have around the house.
PVA glue, in quantity. The whole mask is held together by this stuff so you will get through a fair amount.
Masking tape and double sided tape. Tape is always good to allow you to put stuff on and take it off again until you're happy with it.
A craft knife. This is used mainly to cut the card into the desired shapes

It took about 2 large boxes, 2 rolls of duct tape, 1 large tube of super glue, paint and misc. wires and bolts.
also make a timer out of an old stopwatch, made a key out of black clay and lock out of paper.
Just to make sure that the top head strap is secure because it will get heavy.
