Turn Cereal Box Mask Into Leather-ish Mask (cereal Box, Tape & PVA)


how i made this cereal box mask into leather-ish finish?
step 2 i will show you how to prepare PDF template & put them together.

Step 1: As Usual...




as usual, just print, tape, glue PDF template onto cereal box (or similar thickness paperboard)
you can find PDF & items used from my blog post http://dali-lomo.blogspot.com/2016/01/batman-v-superman-dawn-of-justice.html

Step 2: Strapping Tape & Micropore Surgical Tape (3M)



but this time i used strapping (cloth type) tape on the inside, for flexibility & strength.
surgical tape on the outside, because i need this to be very thin & flexible

Step 3: Cover the Whole Mask With Surgical Tape


cover it with about 2 rolls of surgical tapes. brush on coats of PVA glue (white glue), surgical tape absorb water & PVA glue, form a strong layer.
see this experiment on how strong pva glue can be: https://youtu.be/CiYMWIwWn1s
Step 4: Zipper

the mask is too tight to put on without an opening, so had to use zipper.
