I downloaded an eye mask pattern from Heather Handmade. I adjusted the eye hole size and slightly changed the overall shape to better match Condor’s mask.
I cut one eye hole much larger on one side to test whether I preferred that look over the slimmer version. After holding it against my face and checking that I was happy with the size and shape, I moved on to the next step.

I transferred my pattern onto a sheet of Worbla (I chose the smaller eye holes for the final version).
After tracing the pattern, I cut it out. I used a single sheet of Worbla for this mask.

Since the mask was still flat and didn’t match the shape of my head, I used a mannequin head. I pinned a piece of paper along the nose area because my mannequin’s nose was very small and I have a deeper nose bridge.

I slowly heated the Worbla and pressed it onto the mannequin until it had a rough shape that I liked.

After shaping it on the mannequin, I tried the mask on my face to see what needed adjusting and where it should sit closer to my skin. I heated the areas I didn’t like using a hairdryer. (In the picture you can see areas standing away from my face — those are the parts I warmed up.)
After heating, I carefully checked if the Worbla was still too hot. If it was, I waited until it was warm but safe to touch. Then I put the mask on and gently bent the areas that needed fixing.

Please be careful:

• If it’s too hot, shape it on the mannequin instead.
• You only need to warm it until it becomes slightly flexible — it does not need to be very hot.

I repeated Steps 3 and 4 multiple times until the mask fit my face properly.

Choose a fabric of your choice. I used a red satin-like fabric.

Tips:

• If you use red fabric, drawing white lines later will be harder
• Using white fabric as a base is easier
• If you choose white fabric, consider painting the mask white first so the Worbla brown doesn’t show through

Now it’s time to attach the fabric to the Worbla. I used normal craft glue (UHU).
I covered the entire mask with a thin layer of glue, carefully laid the fabric on top, and pressed it down starting from the nose and moving outward to avoid wrinkles.
After it dried, I cut a cross shape into the fabric inside the eye holes so I could fold the fabric inward and glue it to the back side. I left extra fabric for adjustment if needed.

After securing it with clips and letting it dry again, I trimmed away the leftover fabric.

Once everything is dry, the mask is ready to be painted. I used normal acrylic paint.

I had to apply multiple layers of white paint so the red fabric wouldn’t show through — this is why I recommend using white fabric if possible. Finally, I glued ribbons to the sides so I could tie the mask to my head.

And now you’re ready to be El Condor Pasa!
