This is so helpful, I was planning on becoming a content creator and I don’t really wanna show my face since it doesn’t need to be out there. I wanted to make a full face mask so this helped a lot thank you.
Me too
Same
*grins*
lol same
Wow same
Tips if you don't have some materials: Don't have the paper she use? Use some normal paper, it will have the same effect Not having her tape? Use paper tape Not having copy paper? You can put a piece of normal paper, redraw, turn and with a fork point follow the lines and it will get automatically redrawn Use your creativity if you need more tips! Have a nice day and i hope i helped you
Thx!!!!
Any replacement for cereal box?
@@aceplayz5896 any type of box will do! i used a kid's milk carton box (nido specifically) it did the job for mee
@@thereseangelaa.medrano205 ye o used an old oil cardboard pack that was thin, it worked
Hello, I have a question.. if you don't have any masking tape or paper tape, would it work if you use clear tape? I wonder if the paper mache(?) with attached to the clear tape..
All the materials and tools you will need: - cereal box - newsprint (newspaper) - measuring tools (ruler, etc) - masking tape - scissors - hot glue gun - PVA glue - small mixing cup - cutters/penknife - sandpaper (optional, for smoothing out surfaces and interiors)
Tysm this is super helpful
@@fizpop5647 no problem, all the best
Can i use PVA glue not hot glue?
What i can use instead of a hot glue gun ? As i don't have one 🥺 currently is there anyother glue that i can use
Hey there! Yes, if there is any other glue you have that dries relatively quick, it can get the job done for you!
Found this on reddit, do not regret at all! The mask looks so cool!! Definitely gonna try making it!
Glad to have you here ^^ hope you enjoy making it ❤💖❤
Ayo me too
I’m in press
@@PrettyMuchParadise hello there I will do this for my project but are there other alternatives for sand paper? Thx!
Im not really sure there are, but then again, you can totally make this mask without any sandpaper.
Thank you so much! My brother sent me this so I can make him one for Halloween🥺
Same bro
this tutorial is a LIFESAVER! all the other tutorials were confusing to me and used things that I didn't have but this one is the exact shape I need and helped me so much! about to make this, tysm ❤
i just want to say tysm I made it and it turned out so good I'm drawing the face on right now best tutorial
Thanks so much for your comment! I'm so glad you were happy with the results ^^💕
Another tip : you can mix gypsum and glue, make a chateau paste and slather on the mask after putting on 1 or 2 layer of paper mache. This would even out the lines and grids more. And add 1 or 2 more paper mache layers. And sand with sand paper.
Currently using this tutorial for my hollow knight cosplay! Super helpful, the paper mache method has worked really well so far, and replacing the ears with horns works great! The masking tape tip is genius. I actually used some firmer cardboard which led to it not lying as flat, but im sure i can sand it down later.
It looks so good! THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO, it was very helpful!
I had so much fun making this! I've never made a mask or anything with paper mache, but with this video as a guide, it looks really nice. :D
This is also perfect to get to know how to make your own mask even tho you might not want to do this specific mask, thank you for this it’s really helpful! 😊
This is totally amazing. Found it on reddit and immediately subscribed. I'm gonna have to make one of these.
THANK YOU!!! I've been having problems on my school project and i didnt know what to make, this appeared in my recommendations! I am so glad i saw this!
Both of the tutorials are the best! I love them
a very well made video!! thank you so much for the tutorial
I’m gonna make this today, thanks for the video! It’s super helpful :>
iam making this and taking it to my school for my art project and thank you for teaching me how to make a detsiled and awesome kitsune mask
OML I used you half face one (turned out amazing) and I was planning on making a second full face one! This came out in such great timing
Im so glad to hear that ^^ good luck!
Hi how to be good at editing gacha?
@@AirAddict by practice and learning how to use apps better
@@-Foxytato- well how do i shade gacha pics easily?
@@AirAddict more practice and tutorials (if your referring to my pfp, i didn’t make it, my friend did)
Just decided to make my own mask and I ran into this video. Very doable and detailed. Thank you!
You are very welcome. Glad I could help! ^^
Thankyou so much for the turtorial!
Thank you for this! Will be starting mine soon🦊
Beautiful 😍 perfect explanation
Oh my gosh, this tutoarial is the BESTT I love it so muchhh😍🥰🥰🤩
Thanks for the tutorial! I've been planning to cosplay Akari from the Onibi series/The Tale Of The Spider and The Kitsune Like Lion and i can't find any fox mask that i like/wont take a week to get. So this tutorial really helped. Thanks a lot!
Thank you, I’m planning to make one to help me with my facial dysmorphia and just because it looks awesome. :)
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much!! I'm not making a Kitsune mask but this is still what I needed
Glad it was helpful to you! Thank you for your nice comment ^^
THANKYOU FOR THISSSSS!! Merry Christmas
Hi! i just wanted to say that this video really helped me with a project involving masks :^ So, thank you so much for this video!
Thank you so much for your nice comment! Im so happy the video was helpful to you ^^💖
woahh this is really good! :D and i love your creativity ! you just got a new sub! ^^ im looking forward to see more :DD
I’m gonna try! It looks very nice
going to make a mask for Halloween this was a great tutorial!
Fantastic.Just the video i need for my presentation.Helped a lot.Thanks for the Vid.
i might try! this seems so fun-
I love this, thanks for the detailed tutorial! Question though: Don't you have problems breathing with the mask on, since the air would only stream in and out through the eye holes? It might be better to create the snout using cardboard stripes only that are bent outwards, so that you can cut a hole below the upper fox lip just like you do with the eyes. :3
Hey there! Thank you for your comment and that great idea ^^ Thats a great point, but for my mask at least, the mask wasnt flush against my face when I put it on and the sides of my face still had some space for air to come and go. But that idea is also great, thanks for the tip! ^^
Nah u can stil breathe
breath air
I could breath in mine, although that is a great Idea!
as the creator said, it's not airtight against the face, you can breathe rather easily.
Thankyou you saved me i wanted. A mask like this for my demon slayer inspiered room but they are so expensive
Thank you ! This was so helpful !
Welp this has to be the coolest diy ive ever seen
omg i really need this, thank you so much
awesome, i wanted to make a mask for my hunter(toh) cosplay but couldnt find any good tutorials, thanks❤️
Thanks this is really helpful I bought a fox mask before and added some colors to it but it's really hard to draw on my characters so thank you!

Wow that looks incredible I'll make it for my school project

Beautiful mask.
This tutorial is perfect for my project :D
Watching this cause I wanna make an eyeless jack mask and this was one of the first helpful videos about full face masks to pop up
Same I was gonna make a different mask but didn't know where to start
I’m actually using both your Kitsune masks as guides and references for my shiny baneful fox mask (shiny hisuian zoroark mask) with a few additional and modified parts from both Kitsune masks to make it look like the mask from the game
Thank you for your tutorial. I just finish making one following your instructions just in time for Halloween! My mom was amaze on the progress I have been making when I started making the mask and loves it as well. Happy Halloween and wish you a wonderful day!
Thank you so much for your kind comment! Im so glad that you're happy with the results. Happy Halloween to you too! 🎃🥰💕
Pls make more vids this really helped me pass my art class
I have tried this 3 times and i love it
I used your previous video (the kitsune half mask one) to make a full-face mask and it turned out pretty well (ty btw), i used gypsum to reinforce the mask. It was no Kitsune though.
Thank you for making this video. I am planning on making it for my demon slayer book report visual at school. :)))
Thank you fir this amazing video
I actually looked for a way to make a frog mask because i couldn‘t find what i was lokking for online and even though this videois about how to make a kitsune mask this helped me out a lot and i‘m probably gonna make a kitsune mask before i move on to the frog mask :D
Thing i will do thank a lot This so helpful tip!
I love it that's just what I needed in mapeh project
I never thought to use cardstock as the base for the mask, smart! :3
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I was planning on dressing up as Tanjiro for cosplay day at my school but the mask here is just so expensive. This helps so much and its so easy to make too!!

Im so glad that it was helpful to you! You have an awesome day as well ^^
@@PrettyMuchParadise Hey can this work with a glue stick?
I suppose you're refering to using it in place of hot glue. I haven't tried it myself but if it's strong enough to keep your pieces together, sure, you can go for it!
I think that makes is really cute and I also think that you can not only make a きつね mask out of this technique but also any other mask I might not make a きつね mask but I will definitely use this method in the making of another mask thanx alot
TYSM !
THANK YOU SO MUCH IM GONNA MAKE THIS FOR A SCHOOL EVENT YOUR A HERO!!
There are lots of cosplay ideas sprouting out of my brain. I would like to thank you.
that is going to be so helpful for halloween
Didn't have time to make anything for a cosplay event. This video was nice considering I can make it in a days time.

I hope it works 🙏 thank you're for it
I love the video and the mask
I used white acrylic paint instead of glue cause I had none had it was night took me 5 hours but was worth it hard to paint on cause it was lumpy but got through it looks chubby but obsessed with it!
I made this for my brother cause he loved one at spirit. He was so happy
Thankyou For Making This Vid And It's Really important For Me🥰👍
Youre very welcome! Glad it was helpful to you ^^
Your crafts are amazing
Thanks so much! ^^
I’m making this!! I only got to the card board and the nose, ears, e.t.c.., so I am going to get some newspaper in a few days and do the paper mache part, then paint! Edit: I did the paper mache!! I am going to do another layer, and then I will cut the eyes out, and paint.
Hi, mind if I ask you a question? How long did it take to the paper mache to dry?
Yoo...nice video. Been looking for a tutorial to make a mask that doesn't require a pricey materials. I'm trying to make a hilichurl mask so my guess is It's gonna be easier because of the round shape and no snout.
Finally I wait this video thank you!!
My pleasure ^^
I used this for help I'm making a kigurumi mask the base making part helps
