Here’s a short clip of me making the first cut: Luckily, I have a Dremel at home, and the acrylic cuts up nicely (doesn’t crack or anything like that). By the way, the acrylic itself is very easy to cut. I also had to make sure I leave enough plastic on the bottom, so it will have structural integrity later on (again, this would have been easier if I had tilted my first cut). I sketched out how to cut the mouth freehand, using the globe’s notches as reference points, to make sure I’m drawing an equal curve on both sides. I made the hole bigger by simply making a bigger circle, adjacent to the existing one. In retrospect, I did not cut it like I should have. In order to let my head come through, I had to cut one hole bigger. I guess we aren’t that keen on big hamster balls over here. The biggest one I could find was 13″ in diameter, which is the bare minimum. So I got my hands on one of those hamster balls, which wasn’t so easy in Israel.
A whole different approach to making a mau5head is to use papier-mâché, but I think that yields a brittle result, and seeing that I don’t want to spend most of my time worrying about someone hitting my mau5head and putting a hole in it, I opted for the more durable acrylic approach. First off you need the primary globe for the head. In the end, I chose different ideas from different tutorials. I decided I’ll make a deadmau5 head.Ī quick Google search yields some great tutorials on how to make it, and I made good use of them. You know, when girls are “allowed” to dress slutty, and for “some reason” we’re fine with that 🙂. Purim is the Israeli equivalent of Halloween. So Purim was coming around the corner, and it’s been a while since I made a worthy costume.
The other half would be crowd control when you wear it. Let me start off by saying that if this inspires you to make a deadmau5 head of your own, keep in mind that constructing it is only half the work.
