Set Phyer to the Castle

REALIZED

YOU COULD DO THIS

omfg for real I thought this was just me?

er, dear artists of Tumblr:

you can also trace things

I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good ‘cuz if we all die young then we don’t get hurt

ALL RIGHT SUP EVERYONE I SHOULD POST THIS HUH SO LETS DO IT. Ready to make your own Sans mask??

FIrst, getcherself one of these “FUNKINS” or, fake carvable pumpkins. I got mine super clearance after Halloween, so I got a huge deal on mine. <3 Obviously you’ll want to cut and shave down that stem. On the bottom of the pumpkin, cut out a hole big enough to stick your head through. These things are CRAZY durable, so believe me from personal experience, chances of them breaking feel very slim.

Draw out and carve out the face. You’ll probably need an exacto knife, because these things are TOUGH. Make sure its set up well for where your eyes sit, guys!

Get some shredded paper mache, use water, but ALSO USE GORRILLA GLUE. It hardens like CONCRETE, and if you sand down the pumpkin a little before doing the mache, the mache will stick and absolutely NOT COME OFF. The mache is important because it fills in the areas that make it look like a pumpkin. You can’t tell its a pumpkin at ALL anymore.

This was after sanding the paper mache for forever, before I realized it was too difficult. So instead, I started using spackle paste (thanks Jeff, from Home Depot for the suggestion! You’ll never see this though.) It dries crazy fast, and sticks hard to the mache. It also sands down MUCH easier then the mache. So if you want to save hours, don’t waste time sanding the gorrilla glue paper mache.

Now for the eyes/nose/mouth. Truthfully, the eyes are just thin metal wire with thin fabric gorrilla glued to it. Then both are glued to the mask. It gives the mask a 3d feel. The mouth was cut from extremely cheap Silly Winks foam, about 87 cents a page, and the teeth were sharpied on. Visibility? Not bad, when the eyes aren’t being worn. Its kinda like looking through sunglasses where someone smeared fingerprints on them.

The eyes, I thought up sorta last minute. Because the wire mesh makes the eyes strong, you can stick a magnet on both sides of the eye. Out of more Silly Winks foam (Best stuff ever, please go play with it) I made the blue eye, the white eyes, and simply glued them to the magnets. The eyes can change any direction I like, because the magnets make it totally free form, and thats why the pupils can change.
