Leather Clown Nose Making Workshop Photos


"I just want to give a plug for Stanley's leather clown noses. I bought
one twenty-two years ago and it's still in good shape. I used it a lot
in performance the first ten years and still use it in rehearsal. It has
such a distinct (and comfortable) feel when I wear it, that I'm ready
to play as soon as I put it on (Pavlov's fool)."
Foolishly,
Drew Richardson January 5, 2007

One great thing about the leather clown nose is they do not sweat like rubber or latex, you can breathe and they have a much more natural look than rubber. From what clowns have reported to me their leather clown noses have lasted on an average of 8 to 10 years. Ooops it is longer - Drew Richardson's nose is going on 22 years.

• Cut the clown nose
• Punch the clown nose holes under your nostrils so you can breathe
  
• Paint and finish your clown nose...(You can custom color your nose, any color you wish)
