6 Shawn - The Clawn
Old Masks: 15 years ago Shawn went out and bought a clown mask, you too would be able
to do this, if the mask was still available. I wouldn't recommend going in search of an exact replica of the mask as he has
now got a new one, but if you want to make/buy the old one, here is how to do it. Well, I looked everywhere on the net for
a good clown mask and my result is this: (below) It may not be exact, but it will get the job done if you do it right.

Firstly a descision must be made on whether to cut of the clown's hair. Shawn's mask's hair will be pretty
easy to apply, simply get some felt and attach it to both sides and the back, leaving the top bald. Next, cut off the neck
part of the mask but make sure the bottom of the mask reaches only to around your neck, right under your chin. I would recommend
to replace the mask's teeth with white teeth. Next, apply eye shadow to the white portion above the eye, but try not to make
it look too girly. If you really wanna be realistic, then fit it so it's thinner on your face, and don't forget to make it
look old and ravaged.
7 Mick - The Leather
To prevent a waste of leather, draw the design onto some paper, when you have all the paper pieces perfect,
attach it to the leather and cut the leather out. To make sure the paper mask will work, staple it all together. There are
5 visible pieces to Mick's mask, the forehead piece, two side pieces, under the eye piece and the mouth. Mick's mask is made
of leather and has no specific colour (sprayed dif colours). Don't cut out the eye, nose and mouth holes straight away.

 Firstly, the forehead piece, as mentioned, measure some paper on your forehead first, and use it as a guide for cutting
the leather. Do this before every step. Now, rivet around the forehead. There are four (or three, if you have a small forehead)
to each side, and two at the middle, bottom. Now, do the sides. While doing this, REMEMBER TO LEAVE EXTRA LEATHER for when
you will overlap it! The top- side parts have to tuck under the left and right sides of the forehead piece. The under eye
section will tuck under the lowe forehead part and the side parts, and the mouth piece goes under everything. Now that you
have that in mind, cut them out in paper, then leather, then add the "circles". Don't worry about the eye part yet. As I said,
don't cut any eye, mouth, or nose holes yet. Repeat this step for the mouth and under eye. Remember that the bottom has edges,
and needs no riveting. Still not quite done. Attach all the pieces together. Either sew them together or staple them or if
you use light material, consider gluing it together. Next, spray paint it either green, silver, or grey. When done with that,
adjust the back. If you have long hair like Mick, use elastic so it will stay on, or you can use the method for Chris, James,
and Paul's masks.
9 Corey - Dreadlocked Ghoul
Old Mask: Stuff you will need. Long
round shoe lace's, 8 of them. Roll of twine, costing around Hair tie's,large masking tape roll's, . 1 stocking it's,
p. Needle and thread (black being best) Spray paint, white, black and grey, Coloured die, colours green or blue, Coloured
marker. Something pointy and sharp, i.e. a pin. 1 bowl 1 pair of scissors.

|
Instructions - to create Corey's mask two people are needed. Place stocking over head,
while a friend marks using the marker pen where the eyes and mouth will be. Remove stocking and cut small holes for eyes and
mouth (they will be improved later) Place the stocking back on. Get your friend to tape up your head, using the roll of masking
tape and working from top to bottom all the way to the under chin area. Do not shape the facial features, with the exception
of the chin and partially the nose where only the bridge section is to be shaped (see above picture). WARNING: Do not tape
over the mouth area, go around. Do not tape the mask too tight as this may result in the mask being hard to take off. While
performing this, continually check that the person being taped up is ok and breathe normally, if not, immediately remove the
mask. Now cut a line up the back of the mask, slowly to prevent yourself from being stabbed. Cut to the middle of the mask
and before it is taken off, mark where the eyes are using the marker pen. Remove the mask, cutting it a little more if it
is hard to remove. To improve the eyes and mouth, draw an oval shape around the two eye sections and a larger shape around
the mouth (see above pic for more specific details). Now cut out these holes and also a small area below the nose, to allow
breathing (see pic). Spray painting: Look at the colour of the mask and try to imitate it using the following instructions;
A white coat followed by a patchy grey coat and then an even more patchy black coat. (See pictures for exact colour, look
at several to be exact) Allow to dry. Dreads: Get the shoe laces and cut each of them in half. Take the twine and cut a large
amount of it, a lot is needed. Get a lace and a piece of twine and knot them at the top, now wrap the twine around the shoe
lace until you reach the bottom of the lace, now take a hair tie and tie up the end (see pictures for details). Do this for
each of the shoe laces. Now add the dreads to one of the selected colour dies, adding water to the die so that all the dreads
can fit into the bowl (a tin bowl being best). Now let them soak over night. N.B. You do not have to die the dreads. The following
day remove the dreads and hang to dry for 12 hours. Take out the mask and mark on, using the marker, where each of the various
dreads should be placed. Take your pointy sharp object and prick holes in all the places where a mark has been put. They may
need to be enlarged later. Take the dry dreads and place them through the holes made, knot first. Do this with all the dreads,
hey presto, mask finished.
8 - Corey (b) (emailed by Maggot #21 / Killbilly) The material is the inside
of a pair of (old) jeans (low budget!) First, cut out a piece of jeans. Then, make a circle around your head with the fabric,
covering your face until' your eyes, a little above it. Then, sow another piece of jeans on the top of your previous one.
Then, wile wearing your pre-mask, place the piece of fabric over your head to make the top and pin a needle there to remember
where you wanna attach it. Sew it together. Now, make sure everything is together so you don't see any skin. Then, put it
on and everywhere where there's to much fabric, cut it of and sow the remains together. Now, mark the eyes and mouth. Cut
them out. Now, make a cut in the corners of our eyes (I mean the mask!) Then sew that back together. Then attach the zipper
for your mouth (do this so that it seems that it is to high; it will come out perfect. Now, use thick rope and less thick
rope for your dreads, just cut little holes where you want 'em and sew through the rope and mask to attach them. Then, make
the stripes with a ball-point or a textile marker. Then lay the mask on the floor on top of a piece of newspaper, with the
dreads in one direction. Take some coloured hair spray and paint them (you can tape some pieces of dreads to highlight them)
Now it's finished! Oh yeah, in the beginning, don't make sewings in one direction but twist them a little to get a cool effect!
Now, there's just one thing to do: Put on a jumpsuit or any other merchandise of Slipknot and spread the [sic]ness!!!
8 - Corey (c) To make Corey's mask is to buy this mask go to www.horror-masks.com/GhostGlow.html it is exactly what he use's so when you get is cut the mouth out to exactly to what he uses it's one of his new
ones put the mask on your face and mark around it because if you do when it's off you will end up with a messed up mouth so
I get someone else that can draw some what good so he can look at his picture and draw around your mouth not too big so when
you do that the next thing is to cut the top off so remember caution so get someone to do it the mask has to be on your head
so cut and sow it back up so there isn't of the point out now cut the nose whole then the ear hole do not I repeat DO NOT
cut the holes when it his on your face take a pin and mark the hole remember the nose hole is a triangle not round so remember
to do that when you mark them take the mask off then cut it after that buy some grey spray paint or if you have some use that
it's a some what light darkish grey so spray pa! int it and leave it sit over night so be patient and after that you want
to stitch up on the right eye down to the mouth look at the picture when you got that you want to get 8 shoelaces and get
some twine and wrap them up take a hot glue gun to glue the twine together to the shoe lace so they won't come undone when
you get them wrapped up spray them brown no to brown half way starting from the top and let it get some green and tie them
off with green rubber bands which I get at odd lots for $.99 for a bunch and now it's time to put the dreads on look at them
new picture and look where to draw the holes at so that you can glue them down I recommend a hot glue gun so when you got
that your done all done all you got too do is get some black face paint put on so that you look exactly like Corey Faith Taylor
and go get some buds look like the band and you'll be the biggest maggots in the world!!!
8 - Corey (d) step 1 : Take a mannequin head and, adjusting it with paper
towels and duct tape so that it is the same size as your head, step 2 : Cover it in plastic wrap to prevent
the paper maché from sticking. Next mix some paper maché (the recipe is), thin cut news paper strips about 2 ins. long and
1 inch wide. step 3 : When putting on the newspaper strips make sure to cover the mask with a few layers
of newspaper and let it dry over night near a heater duct or some place warm (if the mask isn't dry take a hair dryer to it).
step 4 : After the first paper machéing has been done get some 4 or 5 yards of cheese cloth (can be found
at fabric store) or a lot of gauze, once you have purchased one of the items make more paper maché gunk and cut the cheese
cloth or gauze in to 2 inch wide strips and paper mache them to the mask. Then let that dry. step 5 : After
the cheese cloth or gauze has set it's time to cut the mask off. Get a large razor knife and cut a line up the back of the
mask and wedge the blade in between the bottom of the mask and the mannequin head to pry them a part also cut the eye holes,
mouth and dread lock holes at this time. 13 dread lox should be sufficient. step 6 : Paint your mask. Look
at a pic of corey and try to make it look like what you see. step 7 : To make the dread lox get 3/4 in. Pieces
of rope which are around 2 ft. tie a knot in the end that will go on the inside and wrap it in twine, rubber band it at the
end. You make holes in the mask where you want to put the dreads and feed them through the dread lox in or tie knots at the
end. Also you may want to line the inside of the mask w/ duct tape step 8 : You may want to cut the mask
in places and sew the cut up with some string. Also the mask may be stiff and uncomfortable, so get a stick or a pipe or something
to hit it with. This will break in the mask. Also you may want to set it on fire a few times (just because that's what you
do when your bored).
