Make a Lantern Eyed "Fish Alien" Mask - With Paper Mache

My alien mask is a little weird, but the 12-year old kid next door says it's pretty cool, too. 👽🐟😄

This was a fun, easy project, and the lanternfish eyes on the mask would make it impossible to ignore, either on the street or at a party.

In the past I made a cicada mask: https://youtu.be/PYQibiUe__s
And a murder hornet mask: https://youtu.be/qW-zawMf-fo

Don't tell anyone, but I intended to make a mask of that deep-sea fish with a mouth full of needle-like teeth and a lighted thingy dangling on a pole in front of him. It would have been a very scary mask, but for an older crowd into all things weird, it would be a lot of fun. They're also called lanternfish occasionally, but their real name is anglerfish.

Then I saw photos of the lanternfish, with his huge lighted eyes, and I knew I had to make a mask like that, instead.
