Hello everyone!
Here is my entry for the contest of @flamingirl
#hallosteem2018-costume
This scary mask was made from recycled materials and the theme or inspiration of it was the "Chuckie" character.

The materials used

• old newspapers
• old egg trays
• gawgaw
• old plastic mask for the base
• nylon string
• paint
• old ping-pong balls
• old clothes and gloves

Process

I started on cooking the gawgaw, which will be used as a paste, then I cut the old newspapers into smaller square.
After that, I started on applying gawgaw on the newspaper and completely covered the mask.
*you can see on my right side the gawgaw/the paste that I used

Next, I wet the old egg tray and mashed it into pieces.

This will be used for adding extra details in the mask

It's almost covered with mashed egg tray. I have to cover it again with newspapers to make sure that the texture of the mask is smooth.

I carefully removed it from the platic mask(the base). I used a cutter to remove the excess newspapers covering the eye part

After that, I sliced the ping-pong balls into half and put a hole


After putting the eyes, It's time to dry it under the sun to make sure that the newspapers and mashed egg tray are solid and hard enough.

Time to color it with white paint.

After painting it, I drilled some holes on the mask. This will be for the stitches part of the mask

Adding some details on the mask

Time to put the stitches

Process on the clothes

I used old jumper, long sleeve, and gloves

And it's done!

Here is the final costume
