Once the bag was secured, I grabbed the scissors and cut strips of plaster of various widths (0.5" to 2"). I was able to remove this by rolling extra bag material under the knot I just made. The bag was a bit lumpy in some areas due to trapped air. To keep it from sliding around, I tied the handles on the back of my neck making sure the knot was at the base of my skull. I started by taking a grocery store bag and putting it over my head to cover my hair (from approximately the top of my eyebrows to the back of my neck). I also didn't want to apply the strips directly on my hair (how would I explain my new look at work?). Working with the plaster wrap can be messy so I recommend putting an old shirt on before proceeding. Creating the helmet-like support is a 2-part process: 1) molding the top of the head and 2) adding the jaw structure. I found out that making the mold of the top of my head (down until the ear line) achieved this balance. While I wanted a snug fit, I also wanted to make sure that it would be easy to put the headdress on and then take it off. Michaels, AC Moore, etc.) and then use such mold to add on the other details of the headdress. I decided I would make a light-weight mold of my head using the plaster wrap that can be found in art supply stores (ex. I wanted to create a helmet-like support with a snug fit on my head. To pay it forward, I'm writing this Instructable in the hopes that it helps somebody else.
Several online tutorials have helped me along the years to create my costumes.

So, as the nostalgia set in while I watched this movie sometime in Spring 2016, I knew that I had to be Mola Ram for Halloween. I recall as a child watching Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom and feeling both scared and thrilled at the same time.
In the last few years, my source of inspiration has been movies that hold a special place in my heart. Since then, Halloween has become my Christmas and I get excited about it the moment an idea crosses my mind. And so, I decided to pursue this latter point in 2010, the year I made my first costume as an adult (ended up being a faun - a costume that was very well received). At some point, I realized two things: 1) "one size fits all" does not indeed fit me at all and 2) holy cow! for that price, I can make it myself.

Once upon a time, I joined the many procrastinators who storm the stores on October 30th or 31st to buy something to wear to costume parties.
