- If you are interested in purchasing a mask I am selling them as Kits. It will come with the raw cast which has been trimmed (eyes, mouth and bottom). You will have to do any filling, sanding and painting. I will also include a hard hat (adjustable helmet), fabric for the eyes and 2x fans wired to a switch. All of these will need to be glued/epoxied once the painting is done. You can find them on Etsy (Search "Jack Skellington Mask") or you can email me at jack.mask@yahoo.com.
I made this DIY instructional video showing how I made my Jack Skellington costume which I used for Halloween. Hopefully you are able to use it to make your own Pumpkin King mask! If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comment section.
Materials Used:
Punch Balloon
Paper Mache
Model Magic
Dry Dex (filler)
2 part Epoxy Resin + Fiberglass Cloth
Bicycle Helmet
Black stretchy see through fabric (go to a fabric store and search)
White fabric paint (go to craft store, I don't remember exact brand)
Black paint (oil based would probably be best)
Sandable primer paint (the stuff for cars works well)
Flat white paint (whatever is cheap and sticks well)
Flat clear coat (Try to get same brand as white paint)
Large sheet of plastic (go to plastic store and get see what they have)
If you end up making a mask, I would LOVE to see the final product. You can email me at jack.mask@yahoo.com - Zábava
I have made some videos showing how I made a silicone mold and cast copies of this mask.

Honestly this mask is waaaay better than the one they use in disneyland
Karolina Hromkova thank you :-)
Karolina Hromkova Agree!
Just amazing, your so talented!!!
This is the type of helmet/mask that Disneyland should be using. Great work!
We went to a con this weekend and my husbands Jack was a big hit! Thank you so much for the tutorial! 😁
This is awesome!
Thats....AWESOME!!!! I LOVE IT

Thank you for this tutorial. :)
Great job
You have the patience of Job!!
Really useful video
Colin, muchas gracias por el tutorial, ya estoy por empezar 🎃
Love it
My son who is 6 wants to be him this Halloween...I hope I can do this on a budget... but I love this
love this going to do it for my son is there anyway you can tell exact products used such ad brand and size of epoxy resin and putty
I am looking for a jack head for a Christmas tree topper. I am thinking it won’t be as much work as your mask. Your last is exactly what I need
This is sooo good! After doing an epic jack pumpkin I’m wanting to try this for next year. How easy was it to fine the central lines on the paper mache ball. It’s there a nack to it
Cool
I absolutely love your costume!! Would you ever consider making and selling a Jack head?!
Hi, First I would like to say you did an amazing job! I am starting to make my own mask now and wanted to ask how you found the centre lines in on the mask? Is there an easy way to make sure its right?
Thank you this tutorial is being very useful for me and i really liken the final result that you got.
Do you mind tell me the materials used in the process (i couldn't well understand them in the video :S)
Thank you again ^^
I’m going to attempt to make one. Wish me luck!
Its good that your starting early! Don't leave it till later, or you'll get stressed by the time crunch. Good luck!
What type of epoxy/resin did you use? I have some allumilite do you think that will work? Also- did you have to rotate the head to get the epoxy to coat evenly and without air bubbles?
Man I love you work really awesome. And I want you to make for me one mask. Are you able to do that?
You are the inspiration for my Jack Skellington costume that I'm attempting this year. I was wondering what kind of black fabric did you use for his eyes. Everything seems to be easy except for modeling around the eyes I had a really tough time doing that.
Yeah, its not too difficult, just very time consuming. I was surprised I was able to get the teeth and eyes the way I liked them in one shot. I think I was lucky!
I can't remember the exact type of fabric I got. I went to a fabric store and just looked at all the stretchy fabric, held it up to my eyes and bought the one that I could see best through but others couldn't see me.
Awsome i. Play. Mascots costumes and my. Own mascots bussiness
Another ? How did you wear the bat tie?
What can I use to harden a mask inside and out that isn't epoxy? Just wanting to use something less toxic and I have no idea
Do you have an approximate outer diameter measurement that you would suggest Colin? I am currently trying to size the balloon appropriately so I can start paper mache
I really love your tutorial, awesome mask, do you have a list of all the items you used to make the mask and if you can provide it please thanks in advance
I just put a list up in the comments.
What's the circumference of the head? I've attempted to make it 3 times and they are all to big.
I really like this costume and the way it looks! may I ask, how exactly did you make the suit itself/ what did you use to make it? thanks a lot!
I went to a thrift store and bought a black suit jacket and black t-shirt. I already had some black pants to use. My sister adjusted the jacket slightly and added the white button. The hardest part was painting white lines lol
Thank you so much for posting this tutorial I've completed my mask up until the final paper towel paper mache!! And its looking amazing. Just wondering if you only used the epoxy resin and fiberglass cloth? Because I have fiberglass resin as well but it seems epoxy resin (i bought from a craft store) would be the better way to go.
I think you could use either. One will smell like chemicals and the other wont. I think Resin won't smell which will make it wearable sooner.
@@colchilibeck okay thank you!
Dude I saw you in person with the whole thing on
I'll try to do this I have only 12 Days u.u ...what is the pink thing that you use ??????
Is it ok to use non-hardening clay?
Is there a way I can buy a beautiful mask like this from someone here. Thank you
Thank you for the tutorial! I am currently working on finishing mine up. Just curious, about how far apart are the lines on the clothing? I did one inch lines on mine, but it just doesn’t look right, thankfully I did it with a transfer pencil first.
I free handed it so that it looked wavy, so the gap between lines changes. I would say it is usually around 1.5 - 2 inches apart.
Awesome! Thank you so much.
how did you get the stripes so sharp on your suit ? im trying to do the same but it looks ruff and a bit smuggy. love your end product, best one I've seen
Lee Wright I applied fabric paint using a paint brush. I put it on pretty thick and then set it with a iron. The edges are very roigh, but in photos and from a distance, they look crisp.
colin chilibeck thanks Colin, looks like iv got a few busy nights a head
Q: did you use glue on the paper layers or just water them? thank you :)
and of course GREAT WORK!!!
I just used paper, flour and water.
I make mine too
I have finished mine. Took about 3 weeks. Still working on the outfit.
ben abbey how did it turn out? I'd love to see a picture of the final product!
Want to sell it???
One last question colin. How did you extend your pants so it covers the opening at the bottom of your jacket ?
I used a black tshirt and continued the painted stripes up. I cut the tshirt at the top so it wouldn't "block" the whiteshirt.
Hey there, I have a question about more a detailed explanation about how to make the jacket it'll help alot, thanks for your time!
I bought the jacket from a thrift store and just sewed the bottom so its at an angle and then sewed on the one big white button.
hi! good job!
but... i don't understand where you see when you walk.
The eyes space is open or closed?
They're open but he superglued black mesh in the inside of the head so he's able to see through it
hi what kind of paint did you use. as well as you mention a clear coat. what kind of clear coat did you use to complete the project?
Both were Krylon spray paint. Flat white and then Semi-gloss clear.
where did you found your clay for the mask? Is st available at Michaels?
Jean-christophe Veillette it should be available there. Even walmart would probably have it.
What kind of fabric paint did you use?
I honestly can't remember. Just pure white fabric paint that was set using an iron.
Hi, did you fix the helmet on the head with epoxi? Did it stuck safely?
L O yes I used epoxy resin and it is really strong! You can use 2 part epoxy from the hardware store. Also, you can use a hard hat which is light and adjustable.
Sees elmo on thumbnail, Screams: HOLY SHIIIIIT!!!
is this for sale?
Did you sand between paper mache layers?
No I did not.
hi ! anyway your willing to sell this costume?? lol .. how many weeks did it take you to make the mask?? you did such an amazing job !
thanks !
I don't think I'll ever sell it, too many man hours in it lol
How long did it take you to make the mask?
Alec Gelacio yeah
I would like to attempt this for my son. he's a huge fan. can you write a list for supplies. I think I've got most just want to make sure. this is freaking awesome!!!
The lines from your pants look like they go higher than your waist line. Did you use a sash type thing or are the pants that high?
I used a black tshirt and cut the top really low. This way I looks like the pants are high but the tshirt isn't visable at the jacket collar.
Colin Chilibeck awesome, thanks I am working on my head for this years costume. Thanks for the video!
How did you attach the bat bow? Like what's holding it up? Once you made the bat did you attach something that you could tie around the neck? The video didn't include that part :)
Angel Gamboa I glued on a piece of fabric and simply tie it on.
Colin Chilibeck, you tied it around the neck?
Exactly. Simply tied around at the back of the neck. It kind of hangs in the front.
Colin Chilibeck, thanks!
not even half way done with this project. only five days left. so stressed.
Where are you at on the build?
colin chilibeck finishing paper mache tomorrow or so. I can't really afford everything in the video, so I have shortened the list to the project is still weather safe, less time consuming, and stuff.
A hair dryer will help speed up drying!
Lol 😂 can I just buy the mask from you lol 😂
I did the eye details but having problems with cracking, did you encounter this.
The air dry clay did crack. But I did the layer of paper mache over top and used lots of filler on top of that. I wasn't worried about the clay cracking as I knew it would be covered.
Colin Chilibeck Thank you, awesome job on this project by the way.
@@colchilibeck what do you mean by you applied filler over the paper mache?? Is it that you applied more plaster over the mache?
is this thing for sale?
What's the diameter on the mask? 16?
I’m going to a Halloween dance with a girl and I’m going as jack and she’s gong as sally I’m so going to use this
how long did this take to do?
Took me exactly 1 month.
hi there, i absolutely love the tutorial. is there anyway that you could send me a list of all the materials that you used please. Thank you.
i have been looking for the plaster that you used for this mask (i live in cancun, mexico) everywhere and i can't find it. could i use a normal dry wall plaster (the heavy stuff)?
yes that would work! just make sure you used epoxy after to stengthen it!
would i still have to do various layers with sanding in-between? if so how many layers should i do with the normal drywall plaster mix? should they also be really thin layers?
What would happen if I forgot to add the layers of newspaper on one spot?
Ingrid M it can be too thin/weak and crack.
Thanks! Also how long did it take for you to make?
Ingrid M it took me exactly 1 month to complete it and I worked on it almost every day.
Shit! I might not finish it. 😩😩😩
Ingrid M where are you in the build? I sell casts and finished masks on Etsy
One month from start to finish
How muck to buy one
Alex Durst I have some listen on Etsy
how long did it take from start to finish to complete.??
626native One month exactly
Oh I wish someone could draw me the eyes I'm struggling so much with drawing the eyes I have the balloon and paper mache I started last night if someone could draw me stencil of eyes I could copy on my head my god that would be awesome lol
