How Do You Make A Chinese Dragon Paper-Mache Mask?
A paper dragon mask can be a good homemade Halloween or costume party mask or a fun dress-up item. No matter what it’s used for, this paper-mache mask is an inexpensive and eco-friendly craft project. It reuses items that you probably already have around the house. This project is suitable for young children as long as a parent is supervising and helping with the craft tools. Cut the cardboard into an oval shape that is slightly longer and wider than your head. Tape the egg carton shut. Use the hot glue gun to glue it to the lower half of the cardboard so that it sticks out like a snout. Put two cups of white flour into the bowl. Slowly add two cups of water as you mix with a spoon or stick. The mixture should end up the consistency of thick cream. This is your paper-mache paste. Tear your newspaper into long strips. Dip a strip into the paper-mache paste. Pull the strip out and run it between your index finger and middle finger to remove excess paste. Lay the strip over your mask and
