Paper mache self mask! How to copy your OWN FACE!

Learn how to make your very own self mask out of paper mache, literally create an exact copy of your face, with this easy tutorial. Combine the use of a plaster gauze face cast with a simple paper mache technique, to get amazing results. For the face cast (that will be your mold) you will need: petroleum gelly (or another kind of oily cream suitable for your skin), food wrap film, plaster gauze and water. For the mask itself you need newspaper, wood glue, petroleum gelly and food wrap film and also plastic colors to paint over.
During the face cast making please make sure that a) you apply a lot of Vaseline or oily cream on your face to protect it b) you don't cover eyes and nostrils with the plaster gauze and c)you have a person with you to help if needed.
A bonus thing with this technique is that with the facecast you can make many paper mache masks of your own face, treat each one with different colors and decorations.
Enjoy!

Quick, clear, and to-the-point...excellent tutorial!

[@mycats7321]

Thank you very much! I want to make a mold of my friend's face so I can design a mask and eye patch for him that will fit properly and I didn't want to mess with plaster of paris or things that were too messy. I remember using newspapers and a watery glue mix in grade school so it should be fun to try this.

[@rosewilson5510]

Love your mask videos! So many different ways to make a mask. I tried this method and it worked very well! One thing I did differently is to do the paper mache on the outside of the cast rather than the inside, because frankly I thought it was easier. Thank you for sharing!

[@cheriz3177]

So glad I found you! You are AMAZING!!

I recently started to paint masks and I was wondering I how I could make my own style instead of using a template that was pre made. This video really helps understand and instructions super clear! I really appreciate it.

What brand plaster gauze did you use? The ones I've found look really sparse

[@babongababonga9588]

It says "Das" on the box. But I guess you could use multiple layers to achieve the thickness you need.

[@juanconeo]

@@babongababonga9588 Hi! Question for ya. Where do you get plaster gauze? Or what is it usually sold for? So that I can try to find it in Montreal

[@babongababonga9588]

I bought it from a hobby store in my city. There are several brands of this kind of plaster gauze for crafts. You can probably look at shops where clay or other craft supplies are sold.

[@officiallymrp]

@@juanconeo in Portugal (at least) one can also find it on pharmacies . Try ;)

Nothing work for me it never worked I try every other video and this and nothing works:(

[@wildcatludlow5891]

What else would work like plaster gauze? Thank you for your video❤️

[@babongababonga9588]

For a real live person's face I wouldn't use anything else. Safety first!

[@babongababonga9588]

Also, before applying the plaster gauze, you need to use vaseline or any kind of thick face cream to remove the mold easier.

[@wildcatludlow5891]

@@babongababonga9588 thank you so much, where can I get the material? Would it possibly be at Walmart? Or more of a craft store?

[@babongababonga9588]

Hobby store more likely, I guess. I cannot say really. Here, they sell this type of plaster gauze at farmacies too (they use them to cast broken limbs I guess).

[@patriciasaenz7116]

Have U any other technique instead of gypsum bandage .please share it

[@babongababonga9588]

I haven't found any other technique that copies the face so perfectly. With plaster it is like a print, with paper mache it doesn't come out so smooth...

[@jenniferjoseph5725]

Where can I find the gauze 7sed in making the mask. Is there a brand or product name? Thanks❤

[@babongababonga9588]

It is sold in hobby stores and drugstores. Except for making molds and masks it is also used for making casts. The one I used is Das and I got it from a hobby store.

[@jenniferjoseph5725]

@@babongababonga9588 in the USA?

[@babongababonga9588]

In Greece and probably Europe I am sure. In USA it is also possible to find plaster gauze for artists too. But maye not this brand.

[@darksoul5097]

Hello, new subscriber here. Love your work and your voice. Where can I get plaster gause? I'd like to try this but I have a beard...it won't be possible right?

[@babongababonga9588]

Plaster gauze is sold at farmacies and hobby stores (at least where I live). About the beard, if you cover it with food wrap film tightly it may work, but I really don't know.

[@darksoul5097]

[@kaseywoolley]

How long did this process take?

[@babongababonga9588]

Two days, because it needs to be relatively dry before we paint.

[@brenoferraz5892]

the paint you used to paint, is it oil paint?

[@babongababonga9588]

They are plastic colors, the kind we use for walls etc. You can also use acrylics. Oils are probably ok too, if you apply gesso first as a base, but it takes time for them to dry.

[@brenoferraz5892]

@@babongababonga9588 thank you very much for your attention and response! S2

[@anushreemalviya4375]

Can we use petroleum jelly instead of plastic wrap?

[@babongababonga9588]

Plastic wrap protects the mask's surface from becoming stained with the oily petroleum jelly. The oil stains will be a problem if you want to paint it after (plus the mask will never dry properly).
