While most people think of masks as a Halloween purchase, the gorilla look doesn't have to be saved for a single time of the year. A gorilla can instantly lighten the mood. Some fans have even been spotted wearing gorilla heads to sporting events, perhaps hoping to be featured on the Jumbotron, or just enjoying the anonymity a mask affords while they scream and cheer. Sometimes people choose a gorilla mask to hide their faces for a more serious purpose. Dressing up as a gorilla seems to be a more adult pursuit, because there are few options for kids. While older kids could certainly wear an adult-sized mask, a child gorilla costume is the rare piece designed just for them.

In choosing a mask, consider the quality of the fur and the feel of the face material. Is it flexible and comfortable? It may be worth spending a little extra money on a mask made of better materials. Masks also vary in expression. Do you want to look like a good-natured animal or a savage beast? A lot can be said with a furrow of the brow or a baring of teeth. And for a long, long time researchers have been attempting to actually find the connection between man and monkey. And findings never fail to astound humanity. But to complete that imitation one needs the complete garb from head to toe, which would include the gorilla mask, too. This mask is easily available at the novelty stores, but can also be made at home. It is not such a difficult task to do so. What one requires is soft toy material, cardboard, tracing paper, scissors, glue, button for the nose, felt pens and needle and thread, along with a piece of string or elastic. With all this material one needs to trace out a facial cutout of the gorilla on the cardboard and the soft toy material. Then paste the soft cut out onto the cardboard one. Place the button in place of the nose. Draw some features with the felt pens and the mask is ready to be worn. This is how you can prepare yourself with a look of gorilla in your home itself.
