Some kind of clever title about masks

October 4, 2023 6:46 AM

Clever homemade spooky masks can run the gamut of difficulty. This simple mask use uses hot glue [and a UV light] for its effects. Here's a clever chalkboard mask that could be made with a simple base or custom per the instructions. A little more skill might be required to make this duct tape Batman mask. Real skills would be required for this Spawn Of Cthulhu creation. Nearly 60 mask projects with instructions await your perusal at Instructables.

There are probably a zillion different masks to make online, but this seemed to be a nice collection of different masks of varying skill levels all in one place. Maybe if you have a favorite you could share that to broaden the mask pattern repository.

Holy moly, the lion mask is amaaaaaazing!

It's well over a hundred steps, involving custom electronics, hot glue, two kinds of fake fur, aluminum mesh, felt, stereo sound, realistic mouth parts, and SO MUCH MORE.

These are impressive in the creativity and the execution! I could never do this, but I do admire it!

I am trying to get these crafts posts toward the beginning of the month so people have time to plan and work before wearing a costume.

That paper bag mask is scaring me the most. What excellent finds, hippybear!
