This has been a while in the making, I hope that it answers most of your questions if you want to try making a mask of your own.

I took the pictures with the aid of my boyfriend and wrote the text, while did all of the layout, I couldn't have made this tutorial without her, thanks so much!

very helpful! I'm curious how I would attach two piece of leather together? What tool would I use to put the pieces together and appear seamless?

Awesome...I always thought there was some sort of stiffener on the leather. Way cool that it just has to be vegetable-tanned! Thanks so much for sharing!

Thats super helpful, thank you! Is it possible to do the same with fake leather? Or can the "effect" and "bendy-ness" only come from using thereal stuff?

Ah, fake leather and any other type of leather except vegetable tanned don't have the properties that allow it to "cure" into position. Basically they'll just flop around like a piece of fabric no matter how much you wet and apply heat...Except possibly in the case of faux leather, which might melt. :/

Well I am going to try this today on a Mempo (Japanese Samuri Half Mask) for my fiance this afternoon. This tutorial Makes it seem like I might be able to work this all out. I will post it and a link if I don't give up and cry first. Wish me luck.

By the way GREAT TUTORIAL, very easy to follow and great pictures.

I hope it worked out for you! Remember, you can always practice with a tiny version of it first. That way you figure out how to maneuver the leather without using up a ton, plus you get a cool mini mask.
