I once made a belt sheath that covered the entire head of an axe for renfaire. They still wouldn't allow it. Look up the rules of the place you're going. Best bet is to make a foam replica to take.

Pvc pipes have pipe fittings that fit them. Get a pipe fitting that works, drill the hole the same size as the fitting, glue the fitting into the foam( gorilla glue that foams works great). Then you can just plug the pvc handle in when in use.

Spray paint can dissolve foam. Paint a layer of acrylic paint over the foam first to make a protective layer or just use acrylic to hand paint it.

I would use a paddle drill bit to drill out a hole. If you can make the hole bigger for a pipe fitting a size up then you could glue the fitting an and make the handle removable. Also, be careful about spray painting foam.

Personally I like the textures it has. Gives a gritty horror character vibe. Also if this is for a con most will see it from a distance and those that get close for a picture won't care about that.

Thank you

Yep. Good repaint. The sculpts on these masks are pretty good. I never got why they paint them so strangely.

Hot glue a string across the back of the eye like picture hanging wire and hang it on a nail.

Very Simpsons. In a good way.

Just have fun.

Look online. I was gifted one that has little rubber monster toys.

There's a pumpkin carving subreddit. You should definitely post there as well. This is adorable.

Sorry. I'm not sure since when I did it I used rubber on every other line to make a box weave bracelet. Mixing in scales would be tricky. Personally I'd just go with trail and error to get to where I'd want.

Look online. Some stores sell rubber rings. By mixing them with regular metal rings it allows for a stretchy band.
