Cosplay Mask with Tinted Lenses Tutorial

tinted glasses 1

Need to make a mask for a superhero costume, specifically a Huntress costume? Jessie Jem of The Mary Sue has a tutorial that only takes an hour and costs $15. She put off making the glasses until the last minute, but they were so easy that it didn’t matter. She used a pair of cheap glasses — you can get them at your local department store, dollar store, or even the gas station – and also used craft foam, floral spray paint, and colored plastic. Jessie made a pattern to build upon her existing glasses and cut it out of craft foam and added paint and tinted lenses from there.

See in progress pics below and get the complete tutorial at The Mary Sue.
