I am so lucky to have a couple of skulls and beauty school manequins laying around. Then we didn't have to do these masks on our own heads. So whip up some paper mache. A little flower and water. Not too thick, but not too runny. I would say a little thinner than elmers glue. After it is dry, then carefully peel it off. IF you are using your own face or a friends face, cover with plastic wrap but make sure to leave holes in the nose for obvious reasons. Then blow dry it for a minute after each layer to get the processe rolling. then carefully take it off and lay out to dry.
Paint in your shadows. I used black, brown, yellow and light peach skin color to acheive all this. Some allow to dry for a minute in between shaddowing techniques. Some good ole craft acryllic paint will do!
after it is all dry, fill the head with somehting, spray foam, newspaper or plastic bags light I did so it isn't so empty. THen attach a wire hanger and secure it to the mask with packing tape. This is clear so It won't show through the cheese cloth. I may add a white sheet if I can ge someone to donate one for free so it isn't so see through.
Apply your cheese cloth. I also adjusted the head on the hanger to have a little tilt. Things ar much scarier with a little tilt in their head.
This will be hanging hi up in a corner with a fan blowing on it to make it move. This will definately be creey in a dark room with the black light.
ENJOY!
