How to Make a Jason Hockey Mask

Jason Voorhees is the name of the hockey mask-wearing serial killer in the classic horror film series. "Friday The 13th." His infamous mask may seem like an average white hockey mask at a glance, but if you are trying to put together a Jason costume, the mask will need adjustments to look genuine. A clean, plain white hockey mask could completely ruin the costume. Making the mask more authentic yourself can be done quickly and is also inexpensive.

Things You'll Need

• Plain white hockey mask
• Black spray paint
• Clear top coat spray paint
• Sandpaper
• Red acrylic paint
• Paintbrush
• Power drill
• 8-inch drill bit
• Sponge

Instructions

1. Rub the surface of a plain white plastic hockey mask with some sandpaper to create texture.

2. Load a power drill with an eight-inch drill bit and create a series of holes around the mask. There should be a square-shaped formation on the forehead of the mask that includes three holes on both the left and right sides of the mask. There also should also be two holes that go diagonally downward from the top corners of the existing holes below the mouth.

3. Hold the nozzle of a can of black spray paint at least three feet away from the hockey mask and lightly mist the surface with a very small amount of paint. The black paint should not cover the white paint, but instead leave a thin layer of dark color that makes the mask look dirty. Use a dry sponge to smear the paint into smudges. Allow the spray paint to dry.

4. Dip a paintbrush into some red acrylic paint and glide it over the surface of the mask to create an upside-down triangle just over the eyes. Create a streak on each cheek as well. Allow the paint to dry.

5. Spray a coat of clear spray paint over the mask to seal. Allow the sealer to dry before wearing the mask.
