Q&A: How do I print a design and transfer the design to a white plastic mask?

Question by Tyler: How do I print a design and transfer the design to a white plastic mask?

I have a plastic white mask from the halloween store and I want to print a jack o lantern design and transfer it to the mask with spray paint. I know I could cut the design out and tape it to the mask but the design is pretty intricate. Any ideas?

If you want to use spray paint, there is really no way you're going to get around cutting the design out to use as a stencil, sorry. I recommend using an X-acto knife for intricate designs, then spray the back of the printout with spray adhesive to affix it to the mask. With the spray paint, start the spray off the mask (like on the cardboard or paper underneath the mask), then lightly spray over it for the first coat or two to avoid getting drips underneath the stencil. Good luck!
