I don't know why this bothers me so much....

But it's like people who know how to make kandi gas mask are sworn to some kind of secrecy. I would LOVE to learn how to make one, but I'm the type of person that needs some kind of visual aid, weather it be a video tutorial or a picture one. I have scoured the internet to find something, ANYTHING! remotely helpful and came up empty handed. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way...right?

People keep it secret because it promotes other people to actually use their head to try and figure something out for their own for once. There was a time when there wasnt internet and things like Bikini tops were rare and amazing and people had to teach themselves how to make them and they had to do it off memory or off a picture they have. I 100% agree with people not sharing how to make them, plus some people make the money they need to buy beads by selling gas masks. Dont get butt hurt over it, and by calling it un plur just shows how ignorant people really are.

Oh dear lord I know. I know if you want to make a regular mask, cellularmango has a great tutorial, but the ones with the wings on the sides almost are stumping me. I would so kill to learn how to make a full face mask with lights and whatnot, but its seriously like the kandi-eltists are in a cult and wont let anyone else join. BEYOND UNPLUR :c

listen i agree that i have no right to call them un plurr but i'm over that now i'm just saying that it would be better if we could reach a compromise like half of a tutorial because i think that if they dont want to share they dont have too but i want to here it from them not other people thats always been a big peeve of mine well becky said this well if she said that then she should have said that to me not to you all it does is create fights and syco then and now is different because things have changed for better or worse i dont know and selling it no offence but thats one of the big arguments that people have, one last thought if you need help you should be able to get it receiving help should be a choice not a fact of life

I understand and respect people for wanting to keep it a secret, I'm just saying I personally need something to go off of. I get easily frustrated when I've tried to figure out how to make one with out any kind of aid. Idk, maybe I was just not meant to make one just yet XD

lol i dont share my way cause im the original creator of gas masks. there wasnt a tut for me, no patterns, no help. just me being creative and making it happen. its been a signature of mine for many years. when my find and a few others posted surgicals, they exploded. now everyone makes em and they arent as cool/special anymore. its like everyone wants to b handed things these days without putting any effort into it to lol. im no "god" though ppl have called me that just cause all the diff things i do. i dont share cause its just a personal thing to me, not cause it makes me better than anyone else most copies i have seen are surgicals with closed cuffs on the sides. id say start there and add ur own flair to it ^.^ p.s. people who go around saying things are "unplur" dont know what their doing lol. plur ppl would repesect others decisions and go about their lives, not throw "unplur" around like its gonna guilt someone lol

and purpl3sag3 i dont make them for profit. been making them since 04' and have barley sold a few. i only started sharing my pix to inspire folks into doing things other than cuffs and show that there is more out there than just doing normal stuff. soon after surgicals, kinis and such exploded cause ppl began realizing theres so much more to it. i sell a few here and there yes but its to cover costs, mine arent some cheaply hap'd together surgical lol. and i have given away more in the past few years than i have sold ^.^

It just seems to me that everyone complaining just wants a tutorial of some sort to lead them to the right way. Thats fine and all but dont get mad at the people who choose to keep it a ”secret”, and not make a tutorial. there isnt even a need for a tutorial or an image or anything at all. EVERYONE can figure EVERYTHING out on their own, you just have to think hard enough and put everything you know together to make what you want to make. I for one have figured almost everything I've made without a tutorial, and for those little things ive made with tutorials is just because the tutorials were there, but if they werent there you better believe I would have figured it out myself. And for those that say, ”oh well its cause you have more experience, or smarter or better”, thats just you putting yourself down. Try it yourself, if you fail attempting it, try again, and again and again untill you get it just right. Theres no point in waiting for a tutorial when you can make it yourself now.

mrkandikid "not everyone can do it your way and your saying that just because i can you can some people honestly do need help some people might have some thing hindering them like myself i suffer with an ability to express my self properly when i'm writing because my brain goes at like 100mph my fingers/hands 25mph so a lot of it gets cut out and not every one can figure everything out on there own if that was the case then why have school if we can figure it out on our own, why have training videos at work if the employees can figure it out on their own everything is a double sided street if what your saying is correct then so is what i'm saying, because if everyone can figure out everything on there own then why have the things i'm talking about" (sorry this just bugs me when people say that because EVERYONE LEARNS DIFFERENTLY)

white_rabbit_alice: "not every one can figure everything out on there own if that was the case then why have school if we can figure it out on our own, why have training videos at work if the employees can figure it out on their own..." This is like me saying: "sunny days are good" then someone argues back that "if all we had were sunny days, we'd never have rain. Without rain we'd have famine and death." them trying to make it sound like I want everyone to die. Sure everyone has their own way of learning. That's why I tell people to watch other videos than mine. They can't always rely on me because I may unknowingly do something the "complicated" way. But when excuses come into play is when everyone gets hot and bothered (whether it's mental/physical disabilities). The only thing stopping a person from making something is themselves. I actually recently made a video over that.

MrKANDIKID is right: "thats just you putting yourself down. Try it yourself, if you fail attempting it, try again, and again and again untill you get it just right." Look at some of the work of people who were "beginners" before any "good" tutorials were around. The stuff is amazing. Being successful comes from the imagination and trial and error. Not spoon-feeding.
