How to Make a Steampunk Gas Mask Costume - and Template!

Sometimes you just need a cool gas mask to finish off your costume! This video tutorial shows how to make a steampunk gas mask, but the pattern is also adaptable for many other gas mask styles, whether you are making a Pyro Cosplay, a Doctor Who Empty Child costume, or some other post apocalyptic creation!

This mask is made primarily from ordinary craft foam that you can buy at your local craft store, glued together with hot glue, and finished with acrylic paints.
