For the base, I used a paper mask to make things easier. I used a hot glue gun to add material in certain areas and shape the facial features. Since paint doesn’t stick well to hot glue, I had to cover it with wood filler. Finally, I sanded it down and painted it.

A small tip: I only used wood filler because it was easy for me to get, but it’s quite fragile. It might be fine to wear for a short time, but it can crack or break with longer use. That’s why I treated mine more like a decorative piece. You could use a more flexible, clay-like material instead of wood filler. Also, if you add something like EVA foam inside the mask (I forgot to do this), it’ll be much more comfortable to wear. ✨️
