Has anyone tried making a face shell out of Worbla? Seems like a no-brainer, but I'm wondering why I'm not turning up any results when I search for this. Gonna be a quick turn-around for Halloween, but wanted to check in first.

I haven't used worbla personally but isn't it quite expensive? Maybe that's why people use other options.

I happen to have some of it laying around & I'm not super keen on the stuff & never really use it - but this seems like a reasonable application of it. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried it yet?

I have made a batman one that has held its shape for over a year just fine and still fits perfect. Overall, make sure you have a buffer between your face and the heated worbla otherwise it will hurt. I found it nice other than the eye sockets which I pressed back out a bit (because my eye lashes kept hitting the worbla and it was super annoying)

Also don't leave it sitting in a hot car. It will warp, or could warp.

Awesome! Thanks for the advice! I wonder if the material will effect the spandex? Or be warped by the tension of the material. I guess I'll have to just try it out and see.
