Make a prop head from a mask

Stiltbeast Studios demonstrates a straightforward technique for transforming a flexible Halloween mask into a solid, displayable prop head using expanding foam sealant. The creator fills the mask cavity with the foam, allowing it to cure into a rigid form that holds the mask's shape permanently. The same method is noted to work equally well for filling gloves to create prop hands. This is one of the simplest and most accessible prop-making techniques available to home haunters and attraction builders.
