Video
- The video lasts 4 minutes, but you understand that you don't just make a latex mask in 4 minutes! Allow 1 to 2 hours for your first mask.
What will you learn?
-
In this video, you will learn how to glue the latex mask together. Because it seems so easy if you already have a pattern, but all those curves are quite a challenge. Fortunately, there isn't much latex in a mask, so if it doesn't work out the first time, you can just make another mask until it's perfect! And don't forget to adjust (and save!) your own pattern then, of course!
- We explain how you can super easily adjust this pattern to your own size!
- So download the pattern, and follow the steps in the video and everything will be fine!
- You can also combine this mask with a catsuit, for example... just glue them together... and done!
What materials do you need?
Latex:
- 2x 30 cm x 40 cm + 1x 10 cm x 60 cm
Latex thickness:
- 0.40 mm, 0.45 mm or 0.50 mm
- If you choose thinner or thicker, it will be more difficult.
- For your first mask... follow our advice...😁
Tools:
- Hole punch or punch (for the nostrils)
Haberdashery:
- 1 zipper ± 18-20 cm
- Tip: use a zipper with small teeth, so that it follows the curve of your head. Thick large teeth look cool, but are not very comfortable and do not give a nice curve around your head.
