Mask and headgear with foam..

This is what you need:
Foam
Heat gun (which is normally used to remove old paint)
Paper
Gluegun or contact adhesive

How to:
First you make a template in paper.

Afterwards you place the template on top of the foam or draw it on the foam, after that you cut it out.

A heat gun can be used to warm up the foam, in order to make it soft, and after that you can shape it as you want. If you don't have a heat gun, a hairdryer can also be used.



For example with this mask. The noseshape is made by heating up the foam and after that placing it on your nose to shape it. The flamepoints on the mask are also twisted after the foam has been heated.





Another idea could be to use a swimming cap. It can be decorated in many different ways. Long pieces of foam is glued on the cap, as you can see in the picture. This creates a huge and effective headgear. This particular headgear only took 1,5 hour to create.
