From the very beginning of their careers, members of the Slipknot group shocked the audience with unusual masks, behind which they hid their faces for a long time at concerts and interviews. Now fans know their heroes by sight. But masks are still symbols of the group. You can make one or collect the entire collection.
Instructions
Step 1
For any of the nine masks, a standard blank will work. Make it out of papier-mâché. As a base, you can use a regular plastic mask or make an impression of your own face. To do this, place a 5 mm thick sculptural clay plate on your face. It should cover the entire face from forehead to chin. Sculpt the shape of the nose and eyes especially carefully. Then take an impression and use a stack to make holes at the level of the eyes and nostrils.
Step 2
Cover the template with pieces of tissue paper, evenly laying them in layers and alternately smearing with glue and water. When the mask has 8 layers, set it aside to dry for 3-5 days. Remove the finished product from the template, sand the irregularities with sandpaper. Use paint and sewing hardware to make the mask look like the one worn by one of the Slipknot members.
Step 3
If you like the masks that Corey is wearing, cover the base with white. Using scissors, a hacksaw or a jigsaw (depending on the hardness of the mask), enlarge the hole for the right eye, make it round. Cut out a horizontal oval at mouth level. Draw a black circle around the hole for the left eye.
Step 4
Mick's mask resembles a hockey player's protective mask. Sharpen the contours of the chin, cut vertical stripes of the same width (1-1.5 cm) at the level of the mouth. Paint over the entire surface with silver acrylic, outline the eye slots in black.
Step 5
Sean wears various variations of the clown mask. Color the blank with white, and then complement it with the characteristic clown make-up - wide scarlet lips, blue outline of the eyes. A round clown nose will also come in handy.
Step 6
Paint the mask like Craig's with a dark metallic shade. Make the opening for the mouth in the form of a wide horizontal strip. Punch holes in the top and side parts. Insert pieces of wire 10-15 cm long into them.
Step 7
The next mask belongs to Jim. At mouth level, attach the zipper to the template. Then paint the mask with white paint, protecting the zipper with a strip of tape. Using a thin stiff brush, paint on the mask that resembles the make-up of jesters - black lips and diamonds around the eye sockets. The sample will be a photo of a Slipknot member wearing this mask.
Step 8
Chris's mask plays on the image of Pinocchio. Complete it with a cardboard nose in the shape of a long, narrow cylinder. The color of the craft is red or white.
Step 9
The hallmark of Paul's mask is a dark gray color and a grill instead of a mouth. It can be imitated by cutting vertical strips on the workpiece, or made from wire.
Step 10
Joey wears a mask similar to that used by Japanese kabuki theater actors. It can be matte white or with a pattern of scarlet lines. In some photo shoots, it is complemented by a metal wreath of thorns - you can weave it from wire and paint it.
Step 11
Finally, Sid had several masks. The first of them was an ordinary gas mask, in which the glasses protecting the eyes were removed. The second mimicked a human skull. For the construction of such, cover the workpiece with white and sketch the joints of the bones, the shape of the nose and teeth from the anatomical atlas. The third option you will have to copy from a Slipknot photo. Fill the "background" of the mask with a light gray, and then use dark metallic strokes to paint the borders of the plates on the mask.
