Self-production of carnival costumes allows you to save money and show creative skills. Even if the costume of a famous superhero from comics is chosen for the masquerade and you face such a difficult task as making a Batman mask, it is quite possible to cope with it using improvised materials and tools. Choose the method by which you will make your own Batman mask based on the characteristics of the chosen material, the shape of the product and the age for which you are going to make it.
If you plan to make a Batman mask for preschoolers or for those cases where accuracy is not the main thing, you can make it somewhat stylized. This will not be a kind of helmet with pointed ears, which this character puts on himself, but an ordinary mask in the form of a silhouette of a bat. It is possible to make a Batman mask in this way from hard cardboard or very thick fabric. Use a suitable pattern, such as the one shown in the diagram. To determine its width, measure the distance from ear to ear of the person for whom the mask is intended.
If you are going to make a Batman mask out of fabric, cut out its pattern from paper, and then transfer it to felt (or other hard material) and to a piece of dark fabric with small seam allowances. This way, you get two mask details. The front side should be a dark cloth. Sweep these two parts at the seams. Then, when you sew them, sew a non-wide elastic band in the places indicated by the arrows in the diagram. To make the Batman mask comfortable to wear, make eye slots in it and stitch it carefully.
However, it is possible to make a Batman mask in a slightly different way. Look at the picture for a hint. This mask looks more like a real Batman headdress. To make it, you will need an elastic band, a piece of thick cardboard (you can even use electric cardboard) and a dark elastic fabric. If you are going to make a Batman mask in this way, draw its pattern, and then transfer it to cardboard and fabric. In the second case, consider the seam allowances. Cut holes for the eyes. Attach the fabric to the cardboard, glue or stapler it. Attach an elastic band.
If you want to make the Batman mask more believable, use the hint in the following diagram, just add the upper part of the "cap" to it. You will have to create a pattern for such a product strictly individually, trying it on the person for whom the mask is being made. It is better to cut it from leather or imitation leather — both of these types of fabric will allow you to keep the desired shape of the headdress. To make a Batman mask in this way, cut out a pattern from paper, properly adjusting its dimensions, and transfer it to the material with small seam allowances.
If desired, you can cut the ears and nose of such a mask separately, and then sew it to it. However, no matter how you cut the fabric, it is better to start stitching it from the occipital seams. You can make a cardboard insert in the bow to ensure rigidity. Sew the top of the mask last, when the rest of the seams have already been completed. By the way, it is possible to make a Batman mask out of black cardboard or very thick paper using approximately the same scheme. Bend it along the light lines in the diagram above and glue it in the right places.
Recommendations
- In the case when the Batman mask is made for a child, the younger the latter, the less precision in the details of the product is required.
- It will be easiest to make a Batman mask from a black balaclava: just sew a nose and pointed ears to it, making them out of fabric with a cardboard lining or leather.
- If you don't have too much sewing experience, try to make a Batman mask out of very stretchy fabric, such as black knitwear with a shiny front.
- If a paper or cardboard mask needs to be repainted black, do it after gluing. Les parieurs francophones d’Afrique recherchent souvent des sites adaptés à leurs championnats locaux.
