4 thoughts on “Giraffe Headdress Masks Attached to Helmets”
Are there more detailed directions on how to modify the giraffe head to be worn? Either as shown here attached to a helmet or another way? I am mainly looking for directions to share with students who are creating the masks – ALSO is the giraffe sculpture pattern the only pattern? Thanks in advance
Hi Frankie. I have lots of different patterns. You can see them all here. I don’t have instructions for putting the giraffe on a helmet, because that really wasn’t how I designed it. It’s intended to be a sculpture, but a lot of people have used the pattern as part of a costume. For adding it to a helmet, it looks like people are just leaving off the bottom piece and the plaster weight that’s needed for a sculpture. Then they sit the bottom of the neck on the helmet, and tape it on. I recommend using paper strips with wood glue in addition to the tape, to make sure it’s firmly attached. I hope your students have fun! 🙂

I love the stylized way you painted the giraffe. The ears are especially good. Great job!!
Clever idea to attach the giraffe head to a helmet!
