How I made MY mask!

This is how I made my mask.


Things you will need:
Mod rock-Plaster of paris
modeling wire




How I made it: 
1. I got an old mod rocked mask and put the modeling clay over it. 
2. I then took the modeling wire off and got a bucket of luke warm water. 
3. Cut of strips of mod rock and put them in the water.
4. You then pick each bit out of the water and put them on the wire. Smooth each piece over.
5. Keep adding bits of the mod rock until the whole mask is covered. 
6. Wait until the mask is dry and do what you want with it. E.g. Paint it, colour it in...
7. Gently remove the mask from the modeling wire and wear the mask. 



How to make a mask out of plaster of paris

Things you need to make a mask:
A lawn chair
old clothing
shower cap 
petroleum jelly (vaseline)                                         
drinking straws
Scissors
Plaster of paris
bowel
spoon
plastic spatula 






1. Wait for a sunny day and bring all your materials outside. Set up the lawn chair to lie in while the sun dries your mask. Wear old clothing.
2. Tuck you hair into a shower cap. Coat your face with vaseline. Use lots of vaseline especially over your eyebrows and eyelashes so that when you pull the mask off it doesn't rip of your eyebrows or eyelashes. 
3. Cut a drinking straw into 3 inch lengths. Lie back on the lawn chair and stick the 3 length straws up your nose so you can breath through them. 
4. Get 2 cups of water and 4 cups of plaster of paris and mix them together. Stir the mixture well until smooth and spreadable. Then get a friend to help you put the plaster of paris over your face and smooth it over. 
5. cover the entire face and if you need to add more plaster of paris on your face then dont hesitate. 
6. Allow it to dry for 2o minuets. Don't move your face because the mask will crack or break.
7 Sit up and carefully move the mask of your face. Wiggle you nose and mouth to help the mask come over. CAREFULLY
