Introduction

In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of creating a Chica mask inspired by the popular game Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF). This step-by-step guide will ensure that you have all the materials and instructions needed to craft your very own Chica mask. Let's dive in!

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you start crafting, make sure you have all the necessary materials:

• Head base
• Newspaper
• White glue
• Tissue or toilet paper
• Large paintbrush
• Scissors and razor blade (handle with care)
• Brushes and paint
• Cardboard
• Hot glue
• Masking tape
• Gloves (for handling hot glue)
• Elastic fabric band (for moving jaw)

Step 2: Prepare the Mask Base

1. Create a base for your mask using a suitable head structure, such as a balloon or a pre-formed mask.
2. Tear the newspaper into strips.
3. Mix white glue with water in a bowl to create a paste.
4. Dip newspaper strips into the glue mixture, then apply them to the head base.
5. Layer the strips until the base is sturdy, allowing it to dry completely. This will be your mask's foundation.

Step 3: Shape the Features

1. Once the base is dry, use scissors or a razor blade to cut out eye holes and the mouth area. Be cautious with sharp tools.
2. For Chica’s distinctive features, create shapes from cardboard. These include the beak, eyebrows, and any other details you wish to add.
3. Attach these features to the mask using hot glue, ensuring they are secure.

Step 4: Add Texture and Detail

1. To give your mask more dimension, layer tissue or toilet paper over the cardboard features.
2. Apply more glue to secure everything in place.
3. Once dry, you can start painting! Choose yellow for Chica's main color and white for the eyes.

Step 5: Finalize the Mask

1. After painting, let the mask dry completely.
2. Use masking tape to create a strap that will hold the mask securely on your head. Ensure it's comfortable.
3. Attach an elastic fabric band to the jaw area to allow for movement. Secure it with hot glue.
