Naruto cosplay Kakashi’s Formfitting Mask tutorial

Aug 22 at 1:01am by admin

I finally decided to type up a tutorial for you on how to make your own Kakashi’s (Naruto) form fitting mask. I hope that I can give my personal help to those Kakashi cosplayers on this tutor as you like. I am doing this only to help you make your cosplay better. You can finish all of this in about thirty minutes(with a sewing machine).

Materials

1) Fabric - Jersey Knit or Stretchable Knit or similar
2) Pattern - provided below
3) Velcro - to fasten mask about your neck and face.

Pattern

Pattern is the very first step you should decide. Here we provide a rough sketch of a pattern for you. The pattern we provide is only for a neck of 14’’ in circumference. So if your neck is bigger or smaller, you should alter the pattern to fit it.

I put the pattern with numbers and different colored lines. You can sew the pieces together after the green lines. The hem is after the blue ones.

Put your chosen pattern on the folded material. When you see the words “Place On Fold”, you may put the part of the pattern up to the fold of the fabric. Cut off the pattern from your material. Your end up will be like a butterfly look. You are required to sew the two parts together, where 2 and 3 are circled.

Step 1: Sew the top Hem

When you see the 1 in a circle, just go ahead and to a 1/4″ hem. You can see the hem after clicking on image.

Here you should be careful because any stretchable material is going to bunch under your sewing machine’s foot. When you are guiding the material through the sewing machine, you can use slight pressure. Be sure to hold the material loosely so that you do not overstretch it if you are hand sewing.

Step 2 & 3: Sew the 2’s together; Sew the 3’s together

Having the top hem confronted you, fold your material along the fold, and sew the circled 2 and 3 parts together.

Step 4: Sew the bottom Hem

As with the top hem, sew a 1/4″ along the entire length of the mask.

Step 5: Sew the Side Hems

Now, sew your side hems; 1/4″ hem on each side. You can alter your mask tighter or looser around your neck as well. Try to put it on your face to see whether it fits or not.

Step 6: Sew on your Velcro

Now, your only job is to ass the Velcro and voila! The form fitting mask by you is ready to go!
