i want to make a loin head mask for halloween but i want to be able to wear it without getting over heated
how do i make it and how do i keep cool?How do i make a full head mask?
There are several ways to make a full head mask. The easiest might be a paper mache or plaster cast mask. These types of masks are easy to form and paint, also relatively cheap. Depending on how big you want your mask, you may want to use a wire frame for structure. The other type of mask you can make is a latex mask. These are the mask you find at most halloween/special effects stores. They are the hardest and most expensive to make but produce the most realistic results. It involves making a negative clay mold with all the details then a two part positive clay mold. Next you pour the latex in slowly to minimize bubbles and let it rest until an outside layer is formed. You pour the remaining latex out and let the mold cure for 24 hrs. Its a very detailed process and takes experience to master. You can find out more on how to make these different types of masks all over the web.
As for the keeping cool part. For the bigger mask, you could install a small cooling fan to suck the hot air out. But for the latex masks or smaller masks, You'll have to take it off from time to time to drink some water and cool off.
