BAM U GOT YOURSELVESA CHARA

why did i make this its so late jesus christ

(generic chara is now mine i’m sorry i dont make the rules)

Here’s a tutorial for how I made my pixel Sans mask! You’ll need:

A full page (A4) print-out of his face

A large piece of cardboard, mine is about 3mm thick 

(Good) scissors and/or a knife

Glue, regular tape (’reg-tape’) and double-sided tape (’DS-tape’)

Black mesh material (any black material which you can see through - I used this brand) 

A black marker pen

Images are numbered below:

Get your printout and cut out the face using scissors, leaving the eyes intact and a black border around the outside (if you want). 

I used double-sided tape around the edges of the paper and glue for the inside space, but you could just use glue (tape may be stronger)

Stick the cut-out mask down on the cardboard - make sure you use a smoother glue because my glue was lumpy and messed up the flatness

Cut out the mask after it’s stuck down well.     (( Now, this is the 2nd time I’ve made this style mask, and I used a kitchen knife for it. Don’t be an idiot like me - if you have a proper craft knife / boxcutter, use it (safely!). If you really do only have a regular knife (like me) be very careful, please!! )) 

When you’ve cut out your mask, you can use scissors to clean up any rough edges. Then, use your tool of choice to begin cutting out the eyes. I like to leave a black border around the eye sockets that’s the same width as the mask’s border. After cutting out the eyes, neaten it up again. Then grab your black material to do the eyes. 

Flip the mask over and measure the length of material needed (or just cut a rough area of material that’s large enough and trim it after). Stick it down with reg-tape and DS-tape (idk how well glue would work) so that it’s not coming off easily, and make sure it’s taut (not loose). [With this mesh, it ended up being 4 layers thick for it to be opaque-looking, with LOTS of tape. Also, DS didn’t stick very well, so be patient!] Then you can cut out the cardboard pupils and stick them to their respective places on the mesh!     (( So the pupils are in the right place, cut them out and stick DS-tape on their backs (w/ the white part peeled off), before putting them back. Next, slot the eyes back into the sockets. Then you can take away the main part of the eye as you push the pupils against the mesh, so they stick in the right place. )) 

My method of keeping the mask on my face is using plastic glasses (I use IMAX glasses cause they’re sturdy). Using a whole lotta reg-tape, stick the glasses down so that [1] you can wear them and see [2] they won’t get pulled off easily - I also tape a strip of elastic to the glasses’ tips to make sure the mask doesn’t fall off forwards. [Message me if you wanna know how I attach the elastic to the glasses]
