Make your own mask

[Kettle]

I recently got a pm asking me to make some masks so that the person could have them for a preseason game. Just to recap news from last year...I could get sued by the panthers or nfl for selling these, but many people think they are cool, and want them.

So the graphic that phidelt made for me is attached. Here's how I made them.

1. Print the graphic. Size depends on how big your head is really, but the ones I did were around 4" wide.

2. choose your material. i recommend jersey cotton. it's stretchy, washable and doesn't unravel at cut edges.

3. get fabric paint and fabric stencil paper. it has a sticky backing that can be peeled so that it can be stuck to the fabric.

4. trace the graphic onto the paper. cut it out with an exacto knife for nice clean points.

5. measure around your head, and cut your fabric so that the diagonal across the square is big enough to tie the mask around your head. you can also use velcro dots. some people who got some a while back did this because i didn't cut them large enough for that person.

6. place the stencil on the fabric, and paint it. allow to dry long enough that you don't have to worry about the edges running out when you peel away the stencil.

7. wear proudly.

You can also use an iron on method for the graphic. This is easier, but you won't be able to breath through the mask as easily. The paper for this can be found at walmart and probably anywhere else that sells printer paper. The original I wore to MNF vs TB was like this.

If anyone makes this I really want to see a picture of what it looks like on

They are pretty niffty actually.

Work great for the cold games in the latter part of the season.

this is the album i created for them, but nothing shows on my machine. maybe its an isolated problem. http://www.carolinahuddle.com/forum/members/king-klong-albums-show-your-fangs.html

There are a couple of people on here that I think it should be mandatory that they wear a mask all season.

Great thread King Klong!

Don't see how you'd be sued by anyone. It's just the shape of some teeth. There's no team logos on it so you'd be okay selling them. You can give me a couple for free for the legal advise.

Gonna make one, then rob a bank with it. And then blame you.

I'll take a free one.

No, really, I'll steal a free one. Like displays that say "Take One!" and I get in trouble for taking 10... they are supposed to be free!

went through all that last season. spoke to a rep from adidas and reebok. talked to a rep of the panthers. the graphic is straight off the panthers logo. bottom teeth just centered under the upper ones.

that's soooo original
