-A lager/oversized beanie that’ll stretch to the neck.
-Out line w/ a perm. marker (while wearing the mask) where you want the eyes to be.
-Do the same for the mouth, outline 1st then cut out
-Take patches of material (or leather if ya got it) and glue it to the beanie
note: This adds affect and texture
Bonus:
You can typically breathe through a beanie.
NOTE
Remove Beanie before cutting.
Another idea would be to find a sturdy mask that fits well. ( I call these blanks) then stretch and glue the leather right over it. We used to do this to make those masks that you hang on the wall for decoration. And again don’t be wearing it when you cut out the holes. LOL!
