Ever wanted to create a Zelda-themed prop? If you have the materials, now you can. Imgur user CuteMonster walks us through the process of making a Majora’s Mask replica, with pictures as well as text.

First things first, CuteMonster sized up the mask to his face using an image editing program and a simple printer. He traced a blueprint of the mask using Inkscape, then made a basic mask mold shaped like a heart with monster clay. The horns of the mask were printed using a 3D printer at his local library using PLA plastic. After more mold creating and details, CuteMonster then painted the mask to his liking and attached the horns.

This project took roughly 50 hours for him to complete, and was described as an ambitious process. Here is what CuteMonster had to say when he finished:

“…this is the most ambitious prop I have ever made but I hope it shows. Hopefully I will be able to make more in the future. I definitely learned a lot about patience and while there are things I wish to improve on for the next prop, I am very happy with the results.”

Step by step instructions are located here.
