How to Build a Mold of a Halloween Mask

A good way to make a mold of a latex halloween mask is to fill it up with Plaster of Paris. Plaster of Paris is used to seal holes in walls but, is also used in hollywood movies to make molds of things. It is very cheap (25 lb for only about $12.00) and can be bought at Home Depot, Lowe's, ect. All of the instructions needed for the mixing of the plaster are available on the box. All that you really need to do is cover the eye, nose, and mouth holes and pour half of it in. After that, let it dry for 24 hours and add the other half and wait another 24 hours. Then, just peel off the mask and you have your mold! You can then paint it or add artificial hair or anything else that you would like.
