My husband is a football coach and we had some players over for a fish fry yesterday. My husband kept saying please just do something simple (meaning he didn't want me to make a mess!), but I couldn't help myself. I've been wanting to try this helmet and this was the perfect opportunity. I was happy with the way it turned out and he was happy cause I cleaned up my mess before everyone got there! It is buttercream with a gumpaste mask.
