I decided to make my daughters witch costume this year, and wanted to try the gauze technique.
Find out how to DIY your own witch mask here.
This is Amy from Maker Mama back for a fun Halloween how-to.
Id never seen anything like it and was completely fascinated.
A little searching online and I found that gauze masks were once very common.
Find out how to DIY your own gauze witch mask below.
Also cut a long tapered strip for the bridge and underside of your nose.
Tape the matching nose pieces on either side of the bridge piece, curving the bridge as needed.
Tape the nose to the mask and cover it with plastic wrap.
Paint the paper mache onto the gauze and cover the mask, painting over with the paper mache.
Let dry (this will probably need to be overnight).
After your mask is dry, cut the eyes out using the plastic mask as a guideline.
Remove the plastic mask and cardboard nose.
Paint your witch mask!
And a wart (or two).
To finish, cut some small holes on either side and add the stretch elastic from your plastic mask.
