R.I.
spoofs Providence! Grab
a mask...
Click
on a thumbnail image above to open a full-size printable mask, big
enough for your face.
Save
that image: Click and hold the mouse (for Macintosh userers), or
click and hold the right mouse button (for Windows and Unix users),
and select "Save Image As"... You may see a filename with
a .jpg extension already filled in; if not, name it yourself. Note the
directory to which you're saving it on your hard drive; change it if
you like.
Open
your saved .jpg in an image viewer and select print from its file
menu. Use letter-size paper or shiny cardboard such as photo stock,
and, if your printer offers the option, choose the best fit to the paper
vertically.
If
you print your mask on paper, paste the paper to a cereal box
or other flexible cardboard.
Carefully
cut out the mask, then cut out the eyeholes along the dotted lines.
Punch out the small holes near the ears.
Attach
an elastic band to the cardboard mask: Cut a wide rubber band once
so it becomes a flexible string, and knot one end until you have a knot
that won't slip through the holes you've punched. Thread the rubber
band through one hole with the knot on the front side of the mask. Slip
the other end of the elastic into the remaining hole in the back of
the mask and tie another knot -- too large to slip through the hole
-- on the front side of the mask.
Don't
run: If there's a chance your mask might get wet, cover it with
clear contact paper or use water-based fixative, both available at art
supply stores.
Try
on the mask, slipping the rubber band behind your head to secure
it. Make sure you can see through the eyeholes. (If you can't, take
the mask off before you enlarge them!)
Download
as many cast members as you like. If you print extras, and make them
with your friends, you can go Trick-or-Treating as the only cast with
real Rhode Island accents.
Go
scare somebody!
