Make A Halloween Mask Using PC

We already feel the presence of halloween, and kids are very excited to wear their cutest 'em, ugly mask.

Yap, you can buy a Halloween masks but everyone else have. Why don't you make your own original mask. Infact you can do you're original mask with your PC at home.

Imagine if you can copy the face of your son to wow your family.

Here's what you'll need:

• A good close-up picture
  

• A photo printer
  

• Photo printing paper (the thickest-or heaviest stock-that your printer can use)
  

• A paint stirring stick or strips of wide ribbon
  

• PC with Windows XP
  

Tips to get the best image:

• Be sure that your subject's face is well-lit, with no deep shadows.

• Move in as close as possible and use less zoom, so your subject's face fills the screen.
  

• Make you're subject look scared or happy.

• You can use makeup to create Halloween scars or whatever special effects.
  

• Shoot several times so you can choose the best one for your mask.
  

Here's how to crop the image:

• Select the cropping tool in your digital image editor or image library program and select only the face.

• Crop the image and save a copy with a new name.
  

Here's how to print the photo:

Use the Photo Printing Wizard in Windows XP because it will print a photo that is large enough for a mask.

• Open your save image.
  

• Click Print pictures under Picture Tasks.

• In the Photo Printing Wizard, click Next.
  

• Click to select the photo you want to print.
  

• Click Next.
  

• Select a printer and then click Next.
  

• Select Full page photo print.
  

• Click Next to print your mask image.
  

NOTE: Be sure to dry the photo thoroughly before assembling the mask.


Here's how to assemble:

Cut the perimeter of the face of the photo by using a sharp scissor.

You can assemble your mask in two different ways:

• If you are going to wear the mask, cut holes for the eyes and mouth. Punch a hole on each side of the mask (probably on ears) and use rubberband to hang it to your ears.
  

• If you want only to hold the mask, just cut holes for the eyes and then glue the mask to a stick. This is the best option for greeting trick-or-treaters because you don't have to wear it around the house all evening.
  

That's All! Happy Halloween!
