Loved this pattern! I’ve make 8 masks. Also h have brought people together in a positive way to wear them and be silly
Absolutely love this pattern, I had so much fun making it :3
Now if you’re wondering about the important questions in life, the ones you have at 8pm the day before Halloween: with a bit of monster energy, slight insanity, creative energy and a bit of sleep deprivation sprinkled on top, you CAN make this in about 9 hours. Even if you papermache the entire thing and reinforce it from the inside, dry it out like a man in a desert with a blow drier and then paint it.
Now I didn’t have wide/long enough pieces of cardboard so I had to divide it into a bottom and top part, but with a bit of fiddling and just a tad of frustration it works just fine like that.
Ps: for the many many people that were totally just about to ask this question: yes, then second protective package of the IKEA ,STORKLINTA, is exactly enough cardboard to make this piece of paper engineering work. (Now you *dont* have to panic at 3am, thinking you won’t have enough. Thank me later)
All the silliness aside, I had this pattern open in my tabs for ages now and I’m so happy to have finally been able to buy and work on it. The slightly panicking time crunch aside I had so so much fun working on it. Thank you so much for making this pattern! 🫶🏻
PPS: I Made this silly pumpkin for Halloween and went to a nation wide protest with it! Long story short: we’re on all news front pages, and made a very lovely and positive impact on how the (education funding) protests where portrayed :3
The pattern is easy. Well explained. The support was fast.
Let me give you some advice. When you finish giving it the final shape (popping it out) you're supposed to remove some of the tape on the surface outside of it. But you can do that only if you used an insane amount of hot glue on the seams. Insane amount. Maybe 20 bars. And if the seams are not perfect it doesn't work, they just drip out.
I was very careful and the final result was good but I ended up doing something way better which is what I recommend everyone. You put some water together with white glue. Then use some newspaper or very thin or semi transparent paper cut in small pieces and you just paint around the seams with a brush with this liquid and then stick pieces of that paper over and over again over all the seams (2, 3 layers). When it dries, it is super strong and it will never break or open. Sadly if you use very white paper it will be seen through the seams, but you can paint it or just cover it with some black liquid if you want.
Also the method to attach the head to your own head is quite fragile so you should put more bands into that.
Also remember that cardboard is really noisy when it touches your own clothes, so I recommend putting some cloth glued to the bottom of the mask or you will be hearing noises all the time around your head.
I’m having way too much fun wearing this around Philadelphia, PA, USA. It’s really nice to see the smiles on people's faces when they ask for pictures of and or with you and really smile when I ask them if they would like to try it on.
