Jason Voorhees Mask!
October 13th 2017
I'm about to show you how to make your own Jason Voorhees mask! Talk about a Friday the 13th special!
Here's What You'll need:
A Quality jason mask
rough sand paper
dark brown model paint
dark red model paint
light yellow spray paint
painters taper
Step 1: Take the sand paper and sand/scratch the whole mask, emphasizing on outer edge, eye holes, and ventilation holes.
Step 2: Paint the whole front of the mask solid brown, let dry, then take sand paper and sand all the paint off or as much as desired leaving a wonderful texture to the mask.
Step 3: Take your yellow spray paint and lightly and in short blasts, from a good distance, lightly mist the masks to create that old, worn plastic look. Sand spots out if you accidentally over do it.
Step 4: If you got the red striped stickers with your mask, go ahead and place them carefully and symmetrically on your mask. then tape the outline of your stickers. Now, peel the stickers off so you just have the taped off patterns. Take your red paint and paint them in. Make sure to let them thoroughly dry before removing the tape so you don't peel off the paint when you take the tape off. You can scratch up the stripes if you like to give them a more worn look .
