When it comes to skull masks, traditionally you're going to find something that's made of latex and/or features a lot of unnecessary detail; that's the exact opposite of this [polygonal design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acre-template) from [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-cookie-cutters) seller Wintercroft who's selling the PDF instructions to make this awesome design for a mere $7.

Much more contemporary and modern than one could ever imagine, the skull mask features stark edges and harsh shadows that all cast an image towards onlookers that's cold, cool and a little bit creepy. The DIY nature of this skull mask is hard to believe, so it might take trying it out yourself to prove it can indeed be done from home. Check out [Wintercroft's Etsy store](https://www.etsy.com/shop/Wintercroft) for more details and designs.
