how ro make a horse head mask?  I need a 3-d horse head that
stays on because the person has to dance in it and see where she
is going  caitlinsdad4 years ago I would make it out of paper
mache (papier mache). You can use a baseball cap or a bicycle
helmet as the base of the form. Use the retaining straps or add
scarf-like sides that you can tie around your neck. Search for
images from the production of Disneys "The Lion King" to see how
they make the animal masks. The dancer's head is actually
exposed under the neck of the animal. Makeup helps it blend in.
I guess it would get really hot and you couldn't see out of
peepholes for the eyes on a conventional mask. Good luck.  Get
