This video just makes me wonder why the hell Disney decided to always make the weirdest version of Jack skellington being a human face with almost a Roger from American Dad head lol
I've done this as well, not the beach ball but from foam halves from michaels. How i keep mine on is padding shaped around your head so its nice and snug. The way I have mine it can almost be a motorcycle helmet
He put a bicycle helmet inside.. He attached it with epoxy. You can see the helmet on the counter (to the left) when he's drawing the eyes and mouth in the beginning of the video.
Hello, I just discovered your video, excellent work, I have a question, do you sweat under the mask? my costume comes with a full latex head but it starts getting wet the minute you put it on.
First you CAN sand resin well! I use Wet/Dry sand paper up to 1500 grit depending on how smooth I want the finish! And instead of a cut up stocking, you can get fine mesh at the fabric store that is stiffer than most cloth and is easier to see through.
Just a few minir suggestions. To anyone that is making this. I am an epoxy artist and would suggest epoxy as the final coat because of the fact that epoxy is self leveling and because, especially over white it really helps hide imperfections. Once you have painted everything, then epoxy. Also something cheaper to use to smooth out the paper mache is dry wall mud. Just a minor suggestions from one costume maker to another. I love this, and my grandson asks for me to make him a Jack mask, so this is helpful!
Great video, I made a Jack, the food chain guy, head and it was a success. It was however heavy. I went beyond 3 layers, ending about 1/8” thick. It’s good to know that 3 layers and the application of resin works. I did wonder how you were going to treat the inside. I made a paper crown to keep it from being wobbly. Thanks!
Would you be willing to make one without the final detail just the cast no paint I really want one but just never have the time to make one. If so respond and we can set up a proper communication line and speak details further.
Pretty cool! I've made "Akasha" the queen of the damnd people love my costume as well. It's all worth the time and effort to make your own costume and it can last you a very long time as long as you take good care of it!
Same. But he spelled it right in the title. I looked through the comments expecting to see many people point out the mistake but in 3 years you seem to be the first.
@@remlya haha oddly enough I had that same thought before posting. I scrolled through the comments and thought “how can I possibly be the first person to comment on that?!”
Okay someone tell me if im doing this wrong because i am trying so hard but you say you use paper mache with flour glue and water HOW?! because when u add glue it goes all thick and lumpy af im sooo lost D8
@@JustinStanley Okay thank you its my first tester of doing this lol but i seen you used wood glue see i was using gorilla glue and it was just going all chunky lol also is pancake flour okay to use or not please help D: i wanna do this right
Nice, I am currently making one. I’m a bit late for Halloween. I also used a beach ball. Good to see that people are using the model magic for features so I will buy some.
So I just got to the clay part and i'd used Crayola's Air Dry Clay... it looked great putting it on the paper mache head last night, but today a lot of it has cracked/split and in some cases falling off the paper mache.. was there some sort of adhesive or primer to put on the head first before applying the clay?
I used the model magic clay and did not have a problem with cracking or pieces falling off. I believe it is a lot lighter than the air dry clay as well. You could try using some Elmer’s glue to reattach. The additional paper towel paper machete layer will also act as additional support for the clay.
@@JustinStanley Yea, could be the difference between model magic and crayola. either way, I did look up ways to reattach the clay to the mache and carpenters wood glue actually worked surprisingly well for anyone else that runs into this. for cracks, they did recommend just wetting the surface and working new clay into the cracks and let dry. I did that and still found it cracking in the same places, so maybe just don't use the Crayola Air Dry for this project. Agreed the added paper towel mache should help smooth things out, so we'll see how it turns out.
I used 1 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of flour. Mix the flour in cold water until it's completely combined until all lumps are gone. Next heat the mixture on the stove until it starts to bubble while stirring the entire time so it won't burn. Let the mixture cool down a bit. It should dry on clear, smooth and hard.
You can just use water and school glue to make a paste but not too runy. . No need to add flour or cook it over a stove.. I've made 3 following this tutorial (minus the flour) and they all turned out awesome!!
@@JustinStanley not exactly, I get stressed, 'caused I thought that's easy, but it was too complicated, however I never could done without your tutorial.
