  1. Many online retailers sell spandex masks, also called Morph.If you also intend to make a costume to match the mask, you can purchase a full Morphsuit.Look for one of these masks at a carnival costume shop or order it online:it should cost around €20.
  2. There are several versions of Spider-Man in both comics and films:in some of these the superhero wears dark eye lenses, in others he has light, reflective eyes.Buy a pair of large glasses in the color you prefer for your costume, dark or mirrored.[1]
    • Make sure your glasses have very large lenses.Each lens will become an eye of your mask, so bring some Spider-Man images with you when you decide to make the purchase.Also take a look in the women's glasses department, as some women's frames have larger lenses.
  3. For an alternative look consider using a sheet of dark or silver blackout film:it will have a similar effect to sunglasses, but the material will be flexible, rather than rigid.You can contact car accessories dealers to see if they can give you some scrap pieces;You won't need much, so they should be able to help you.Then cut the film into the shape of an eye.[2]
  4. To create the spider web pattern on Spider-Man's mask, you can choose to use a black marker or black fabric dye, depending on your aesthetic preferences.Markers will create flat, opaque lines, while 3D or fabric paint will allow you to create raised, textured lines.Be aware that in any case it may be necessary to wash the mask by hand, as both types of dye could be ruined by washing in the washing machine.[3]
  5. It is a tool available at a modest cost at many craft stores.Choose one you're already familiar with, making sure you have several refills on hand so you don't run out in the middle of your project.

  1. Place it on a flat surface, such as a table or desk, making sure the front is facing up, since the goal will be to draw eyes on it.If you have a styrofoam or mannequin head, you can use it for this purpose:it will give you a better point of view to create the drawing and visualize it on your head.[4]
  2. Using a pencil or ballpoint pen, outline the outline and shape of the eyes you wish to have, using a reference photo to get an idea of ​​how they will look relative to the size of the mask.Remember to measure your sunglasses in relation to the size of your eyes:the ideal is that the lenses are wider than the latter.
  3. Reach one hand inside the mask, holding a pair of scissors in the other.Carefully make a hole at the eye line, then start cutting along the line:once you've completed the first eye, do the same thing with the other.Make sure your scissors are sharp and that you have a steady hand, otherwise the cut may end up being jagged or uneven.[5]
    • Check out some photos of Spider-Man to get a reference point for the shape of the eyes.In most versions of the superhero, the eyes are slightly triangular, with a straight line across the top and a U-shaped line outlining the lower eyelid.
  4. In most frames the lenses are easily removed by applying moderate pressure.Hold the frame with both hands, then gently press the lenses with your thumbs;Make sure you don't apply too much pressure or you risk breaking them.[6]
  5. Let the gun warm up, then draw a thin line along the outer edge of a lens.Holding the neck of the mask open with one hand, use your other hand to insert the lens into the mask.Hold it directly below one of the eye holes, then adhere the glue to the fabric inside the mask, making sure that the hole is completely filled with the lens and that there are no gaps.[7]
    • Spread glue on the other lens.Using the same method, spread a thin line of glue on the other lens and insert it inside the mask, creating the second eye.
    • If you initially notice that you positioned the lens incorrectly, you will have a few seconds to fix it before the glue dries.Apply gentle pressure to the sides of the lens to fill the eye hole while the glue is still warm.
    • It will take about 15 seconds for the glue to set, so keep in mind the amount of time you have left to make any adjustments.

  1. Spider-Man's eyes have thick, black edges that you will need to draw using a marker or fabric paint.Draw a 1.5cm border around each eye, then fill it completely.If you want to be more daring, cut some fabric in the right shape from an old t-shirt, then glue it over the eyes.
  2. Check out some comics or online for some reference, then copy the web pattern onto the mask.If you don't feel comfortable working freehand, try tracing it in pencil first, erasing and adjusting it until it's right.Finally, use a marker or fabric paint to go over the pencil lines.
  3. Once you have glued and decorated the mask, you will need to let it dry.Read the instructions on the paint and glue bottle to find out the specific installation time:the glue may dry within a minute, but the dye may take up to 72 hours, depending on the brand.[8]
  4. Once the mask has dried, try it on.Pair it with a handmade Spider-Man costume or wear it alone:it will be perfect as a carnival costume, for Halloween, superhero gatherings or other masquerade events.

Warnings

  • Be careful when using the hot glue gun:the metal tip may become hot and burn you if you touch it.
  • Be careful when using scissors:Since you won't be able to see your hands inside the mask, you'll have to be very careful when making the cuts.
