Question

How can I be sure that I am making the eye holes the right size?

Community Answer

You can try to get a rough estimate of your eye size in order to make sure that the hole will be approximately the right size. You may have to make some slight adjustments, but this should give you a good starting point.

Question

What else can I use instead of a ribbon?

Community Answer

You could attach the mask to something like a chopstick or straw so you could hold it up to your face. You could also use string, twine, or even fishing line on your mask.

Question

Can I make out of normal paper?

Community Answer

Yes, you could try using printer paper or similar paper. However, you'll need to be more careful than with cardstock, as it is more delicate and prone to tearing as you work with it. It is also less likely to last and more likely to not work out well.

How do I make a good mask with a small amount of cardboard?

Community Answer

You could try to do only an upper or lower face mask, or have it cover less of your face.
