I’m curious, but did anyone try making one of these out of a beanie/ski hat? Im going to try that, because the premade ones look really cruddy and i cant find any stockings that fit over my head. I figure you should be able to get enough length out of it if you either undo the inner layer right below the stitching on the inside, or stretch it down in the front and sew it in place. Either way it should give you a tight fit.

Hi Jonas,

Plagiarism? I donno. At least he had the energy to actually add some photos to his instructions, unlike yours truly. My hat’s off to him.

I’m working on a genuine random inkblot mask(!): http://www.jonaslee.com/2/post/2009/10/making-a-rorschach-costume-chapter-one.html

This one would be much better if I had pressed the mask into the inkblot instead of turning the inkblot upside-down and trying to rub it into the mask. Well, at least I know now!

BUY a mask! For shame, Walter K. You’re just putting money into the pocket of Ozymandias.

I bought an awesome mask from here: http://www.rorschachmask.com/

Cheaper and easier than making one… and it looks damn good.

To make the mask: 1. Buy some ladies white pantyhose.

2. Stretch the butt part over your face.

3. Tie the legs up on top of you head. Cut off the legs past the knot you made.

Now you have a mask with a weird knot on the top.

4. I put the mask on my cousin’s head. Drew a rough outline of the shape I wanted on the mask. Took the mask off my cousin’s head.

5. Stretch mask over a piece of cardboard. Not too big because you don’t want to stretch it out a lot. Just big enough so the mask is tight.

6. Fill in your shape outlines on the mask. Take your time. I used a black permanent marker. It didn’t bleed through to my skin while wearing the mask.

Now you have a Rorschach mask. What about the knot over your head? Cover it with the Fedora! The mask looks great and everybody will wonder where you got it.

I wore my full Rorschach costume to the IMAX release and had TONS of people wanting pictures by the wall posters. The IMAX manager even took a few shots to send into her marketing team.

The real question is, how do you get the mask to change patterns according to your emotions?
