Make this scary mask! It's easier than it looks.

Step 1: Materials

You'll need:
  • A styrofoam head or a cast of your face
  • Wed clay (I love Monster Makers)
  • sculpting tools
  • Thermoplastic like Wonderflex or something similar. Plaster bandages will also work.
  • Cheesecloth and Ping pong balls for eyes
  • White glue
  • Petroleum jelly
  • Heat gun
  • Wig
  • Baseball cap or something similar
  • Paints and brushes- acrylics work fine
  • Zip ties

How do you see out? This is so cool!!!!
scoochmaroo (author) in reply to diannagailOct 3, 2010. 8:11 PM
The eyes are made of a material called buckram. It's like a stiff mesh. If you get up close, you can see that they're mesh, but from a distance you can't. And it's easy to see through!
diannagail says: Oct 3, 2010. 5:45 PM
Do you think something similar could be made with paper mache?
scoochmaroo (author) in reply to diannagailOct 3, 2010. 8:10 PM
Absolutely!

I just want the hat. That is an awesome hat.
scoochmaroo (author) in reply to finfan7Oct 22, 2009. 12:01 PM
Did you ever end up making the hat?  It's sooo easy.  I recommend you give it a shot for Halloween, if you haven't already!

Hephestus says: Oct 21, 2009. 12:35 PM
if were to sell this mask or make another one to sell how much would you want for it?
Jedistruth says: Aug 27, 2009. 7:01 PM
wow that is really creepy
scoochmaroo (author) in reply to JedistruthAug 27, 2009. 7:08 PM
Thanks!
goosezilla says: Nov 5, 2008. 12:33 AM
Awesome! Also, I know some people who put celophane over their clay sculpts and then make multiple paper mache forms. It's a bit longer to set than the technique shown here, but also very effective.
csmiler says: Nov 2, 2008. 6:42 AM
I'm lucky!I don't need a mask to freak people out!
Johnsons on fire says: Nov 1, 2008. 7:14 AM
