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!

Awesome tutorial! It's always nice to find someone willing to help others out, and this has been very informative.

Great job and thank you!

I'm really glad you think so, this is the first time I've made a tutorial. I'm really glad it makes sense to you.

OMG they sell airbrushes at walmart? I have got to look around better next time I'm there!

Great tutorial!

Only problem for a beginner (hey I'd love to try making a mask or two) is finding all the materials (strangely I have a couple leather working tools that came in a box with other crafting things at a garage sale) like the leather.

This is now saved on my computer. Maybe someday i'll find all the stuff to try hehe

Ah good, I wasn't sure if I was crowding it with unnecessary pictures. Wanted to make sure everyone was on the same step with the same material at the same time.

Yeah I know, I was surprised too, you can find it in the model car section, which is in the toy department. There's usually a good chunk of an aisle dedictated to it. Its not a really good airbrush, but it works for small simple things. Oh, and do NOT use lumiere acrylics in an airbrush! The tiny particles that makes the paint sparkly completely plugs up the airbrush. >_<

Yeah, getting a hold of leather is the hard part. I was fairly lucky with the stuff I've got, there's a leather store in the city near where I live. However, it is possible to order online, sometimes you can even get pieces off ebay (be careful of that though, you never know if you're getting old leather, or just how great a shape its in).

I don't know about others, but I for one need LOTS of pictures. Sometimes descriptions just don't come across as cleary since people communicate differantly from eachother anyways...but you can't go wrong with photos!:)

You did good!:)

Same for me actually, when there's a ton of text I wind up imagining what's going on instead of reading, having a really good imagination isn't all that great when it gets in the way of instructions. :P
