I laughed when you said "not the most flattering image of ourself". That was my first thought after I saw mine as well. But then it is just us. No make-up, no hair do, no cute duck faces, just us. :)
Even if you think it's not that flattering I really love the expression of your face on the cast; everybody's so unique and that's a wonderful thing! Amazing work!
7:38 I am so grateful for your “chill” personality, that’s going to be my best selling advice to introduce the idea of replicating Mom’s face, as she is fighting stage 4 cancer; So I’ll always have her image near to remember.
My cast has lasted 6 years since watching and using your video my face has changed a lot now tho so I came to revisit your video before I make a new one later haha thank you !!!
Thank you so much miss SlipperySandpaper! I followed your video tutorial and the end result came out quite good on the first attempt.I was careful not cover my nostril openings.I let the bandages dry by sitting in the sun for 10 mins.The bandage negative came of real easy by twitching my face.The Vaseline is essential.The plaster positive took a day to cure.I am using it to prepare for a revision rhinolasty procedure.I'm from South-Africa and played some Rugby(Lock forward position) in high school which broke my nose several times and had to get a corrective sinus operation 20 years ago while at university.The surgeon was a douche(now retired with Parkinsons syndrome) and my nose is really scew and I can hardly breathe through my nose anymore.Now I can show a Ear,Nose & Throat specialist surgeon my 'before' and 'after' nose prior to surgery.I still have to do a second casting and reshape the nose with clay the way I want it to look externally but it's given me immense relief after 20 years of hating my nose and the associated low self-esteem.Thank you,thank you and thank you again.
PAPER MACHE MASK... I used: * mirror * cut newspaper * flour with water as glue * bowl of water to soften the paper * TELEVISION * spatula, round-edge * paint brush (1/2 to 1-inch wide) * PVA glue mixed with water: 1:1 ratio (initially mix 5 ml of each; add some more if needed) (pva glue is also known as Elmer's Glue, wood glue, white glue) * paint On front of a mirror, start on forehead, then proceed to which direction you feel necessary. 1) apply glue to paper (optional when paper is gonna be applied directly on SKIN) (it will be easier when you'll take off the mask later) 2) briefly dip paper in water, let it drip a little 3) apply to face repeat the above three steps until the whole face is covered with the desired thickness of the mask. (NOT COVERING THE EYES AND NOSE-HOLES) 4) Let it dry & harden. Don't move for a while. Watch a television program for a minimum of 30minutes. 5) Use a round-edge spatula to slowly pry the edges of the mask. DON'T HURRY. Once taken off, dry it some more. Use scissors to round-off the edges (apply some more paper if you want to thicken it up) 6) Use paint brush to apply pva glue-water mixture on to mask, one surface at a time, let it dry. Then the other surface, let it dry as well. 7) Repeat 6 once or twice... until it got a shiny, plasticky texture. NOTE: RINSE BRUSH UNDER FLOWING WATER, AFTER EVERY TIME FINISHED APPLYING PVA-WATER ON TO MASK.... or you'll be needing a new brush before each pva-water brushing. 8) apply paint to whatever design you like on the mask.
I want to make a Terminator mask and did not have much idea on how to make perfect fit to my face, then I came across with your video tutorila SlipperySand paper....I got a more steady ground now on how to get it done, Thank you so much for sharing...!! take care, all best,,! :)
Not sure why everyone saying it's "not safe." I did it just like you said to and it turned out great! Guys with stubble - shave before doing this... Left the mouth hole open though to insert a cast of my teeth I made at a dental office. Creepy factor +10.
Thank you. you're a life saver by making this video because I need to make a face mold so I can make gelatin molding for my costume. Thanks again for the help
Thank you for this! I only wanted one mask so I followed all steps up till the plaster! Then, to speed things up, I applied plaster directly to the mould on the front and back, smoothing over the strips until it looked pretty solid. Worked really well, if a little bit rougher! Thank you :)
PLEASE consider making ASMR videos. You have the absolute perfect voice for ASMR, it’s so incredibly relaxing. I guarantee you’d quickly build a massive following.
I REALLY needed this! I'm taking AP 3D Art this year and I have to make a creative mask for covid, so I wanna make the mask from the nose tip down to the chin my actual face and use paint to get it as realistic as possible! Thank you so much and I can't wait to try this
Thank you so much! I'm going to use this as a jumping off point in making prosthetics. Very easy-to-use tutorial. I hope to achieve expert results as you have.
I used crazy glue and stripped newpaper pieces and applied it directly to my face. The mask mashe is thinner when used with glue. Use sand paper strips to smooth the surface. I tried paint but I chose my own cosmetics instead for a realistic portrait of myself. Self ❤ project.
Awesome demo! I didn't realize you could cast yourself. I'm wondering if you ever tried doing the eyes as the last step and just do the remainder "in braille". Seems like it would be possible, but maybe not worth it.
came across this randomly and watched out of intrigue as i couldn't work out why anyone would do this as i'm not a craft sort o person. Cracking job though Girl...even if i am still none the wiser.....i do know they used to do this in days long since past when people passed away. Respect, peace
I’d love to make a Vincent Sinclair style mask, or just a base to make more masks from, and this looks like the easiest method I’ve seen so far!! Thank you!!
This was so freaking helpful dude. I would 100% have a panic attack if I had to do it the alginate mold way, so finding a more simple method is life saving
I'm a professional, and plaster bandages are safe to use on the skin, but a more professional way of getting a cast would be using alginate which it about £8 a kg which is cheap! And then applying plaster bandages over the top to create a shell. Do not ever apply plaster or plaster of Paris straight to the skin as it heats up as it sets and that's when accidents happen!
So I did this is school, but we had to let someone else do it for us and I got stuck with an awful mask. They also didn't tell us what the plaster strips were called so I couldn't get a redo. With this video, I not only got the name for the strips, but also an in-depth tutorial on it, so THANK YOU!!
This is the best face casting video I have watched! I was wanting to make a masquerade mask, but doing this will allow me to make multiple masks on top of a piece that is already the size of my face. If you wanted to do this again, and make the finished mold stronger, you can use dental stone. We have used plaster of paris before and it became to brittle. Where did you get the latex?
Thank you so much for this. I'm making a demogorgon mask from stranger things. Never made a latex mask before, and this is gonna set me up with a good base.
Botj times I tried to do this alone, I failed miserably. Then, I asked to anoyhet person to help me on this and yhe final result was overall good (somehow not as detailed as yours, but still good). I really would likr to make an entite head one, but I don't see this happrning só soon. Well, congratulations for your work!
So I followed your directions exactly but when I went to use it the first time 4 days after it finished drying the outer coating of wood glue just peeled right off. It didn't stick to the plaster it was sort of like a latex. I don't know what the hell happened but like I said I followed your directions exactly and it didn't work any ideas?
I really like how you used ordinary house hold items and kept it simple. Nice work.
Can you put liquid laytex on it to make a face mask? For Halloween?
Idk
I laughed when you said "not the most flattering image of ourself". That was my first thought after I saw mine as well. But then it is just us. No make-up, no hair do, no cute duck faces, just us. :)
I love this interpretation

This video has made me confident that...I can do it...not so poorly lol. Thanks for uploading this years ago for us ppl in the future
PAPER MACHE MASK... I used:
* mirror
* cut newspaper
* flour with water as glue
* bowl of water to soften the paper
* TELEVISION
* spatula, round-edge
* paint brush (1/2 to 1-inch wide)
* PVA glue mixed with water: 1:1 ratio (initially mix 5 ml of each; add some more if needed)
(pva glue is also known as Elmer's Glue, wood glue, white glue)
* paint
On front of a mirror, start on forehead, then proceed to which direction you feel necessary.
1) apply glue to paper (optional when paper is gonna be applied directly on SKIN)
(it will be easier when you'll take off the mask later)
2) briefly dip paper in water, let it drip a little
3) apply to face
repeat the above three steps until the whole face is covered with the desired thickness of the mask. (NOT COVERING THE EYES AND NOSE-HOLES)
4) Let it dry & harden. Don't move for a while. Watch a television program for a minimum of 30minutes.
5) Use a round-edge spatula to slowly pry the edges of the mask. DON'T HURRY.
Once taken off, dry it some more. Use scissors to round-off the edges (apply some more paper if you want to thicken it up)
6) Use paint brush to apply pva glue-water mixture on to mask, one surface at a time, let it dry. Then the other surface, let it dry as well.
7) Repeat 6 once or twice... until it got a shiny, plasticky texture.
NOTE: RINSE BRUSH UNDER FLOWING WATER, AFTER EVERY TIME FINISHED APPLYING PVA-WATER ON TO MASK.... or you'll be needing a new brush before each pva-water brushing.
8) apply paint to whatever design you like on the mask.

This video was just what I needed! I have a very large head and a full beard, and it still worked better than expected. Thank you!
Not sure why everyone saying it's "not safe." I did it just like you said to and it turned out great! Guys with stubble - shave before doing this... Left the mouth hole open though to insert a cast of my teeth I made at a dental office. Creepy factor +10.
Yeah you’re right i also did it and nothing happend + plaster bandages are created to be used on skin so these coments are so annoying....
Thank you. you're a life saver by making this video because I need to make a face mold so I can make gelatin molding for my costume. Thanks again for the help

I got the latex at my local Halloween store
Copydex glue is liquid latex 😉
Glue is not liquid latex. Most lash glues are, but regular craft glue (like elmers) is PVA glue.
Great idea!!
@@somebodysaltaccount4389 Copydex IS a latex-based glue.
Loved it. Thanks.
Awesome🌱
Very useful, I will definitely reference this later. Thanks for the sharing this skill!
If you stop at 5:34 then you can call this a Micheal Myers mask tutorial lol Great video!
