I am making every mask from majora's mask. The total count is 29 right now, I am not including the boss masks or the happy mask salesman's masks in my count right now, but I will probably do those once I have finished all the others.

This is the bremen mask! When you wear it, marching music plays and animals follow you around. It also lets me get my favorite mask, the bunny hood. I just finished this mask, it is the first one of 29 (28 left, yay).

Photo from my cellphone so it's not amazing, but here it is!
I didn't include the little spider fang things on the side of the mask because I didn't want to.

Making this mask was a super messy process.

==You're free to use my tutorial to make your own, but please give me credit and link back!!==

-First, I got a half face mask, in white. I bought a bunch of feathers from a craft store and hot glued the long ones to the back of the mask, cutting off the bottom ends so they would not show in the eye holes.
-Then I got some paper clay and molded the beak. It was the hardest part because I got frustrated trying to make it perfect. I just stuck the stuff right onto the mask and it held fine, but if you have trouble try running some hot glue under it. I gave that two days to dry.
-After that was dry, I painted it yellow. While waiting for that I got some of the card-paper stuff that they use to keep the wig bags from collapsing. I cut two small rectangles and painted them black.
-The eyes were wooden pieces from a craft store that I painted black on the inside and red on the outside.
-I glued the rectangles to the back of the mask to cover the eye holes. No, I can't see out of them, I wasn't planning on making it wearable, but changing that would be as easy as adding some string and cutting out two holes in the paper.
-Then I hotglued the eyes onto the paper.
-Next came... the terrible mess! I presorted my feathers into different lengths. Then I started gluing, working my way in from the edges of the mask. First I covered the seam to the large feathers, then worked down around the eyes and across the forehead. What I did was take a gluestick and run the feathers over it. Since they were craft feathers, they were super poofy, and I didn't want that look on my mask. Some of the other masks I have seen are really poofy and I didn't want mine to turn out like that. Running the feathers over the gluestick makes them "narrower" and more like regular feathers. I overlapped them, cutting off the non-feathery ends to hide the stems, and glued and glued. Hotglue got them to stay on the mask.
-At the end, I used hairspray on the whole thing to make sure all the little fuzzies would behave. I painted the nostrils on the beak, and voila! Finished. (:
