How to make a rorschach mask (Watchmen)

Learn how to make a rorschach mask -- my personal favorite of the Watchmen.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• White Dancer's Tights
• White pantyhose if you cannot find the tights
• Black Sharpie Marker
• Piece of cardboard
• Piece of white paper
• Scissors
• Scotch Tape

1. 
    
   Yours should be cut into an oval before this step.

   The first thing you will need is to cut out your card board and piece of white paper into an oval, roughly the size of your face. Once you have the paper cut, fold it in half, longways (or hotdog style if your are a 4th grader).

2. 
    
   One of thousands of possibilities.

   Use your sharpie to draw a shape onto one half of the paper so that it "bleeds through" to the other half of the paper. This will give you a mirror image. Keep in mind, you may need to touch up the other side so that it is exactly the same. Also, try to draw your picture so that it covers your eyes. This will look more authentic.

3. 
    
   A completed look at the whole thing

   Tape your new "inkblot" to the cardboard cutout you made, and stick it into the tights/pantyhose, making sure you get it down all the way to the foot of the tights. Now, trace the design onto the tights. Make sure it is nice and black. This will look more realistic.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember a trench coat, white or gray scarf, a fedora and a grizzly attitude!
