How Do You Make A Papier Mâché Mask (For Kids)?
• Inflate a balloon. Avoid blowing it up too much or else it may pop. The size of the balloon will be the size of your mask. • Cover the balloon with papier mâché. Using the right amount of water and flour will create a balanced mixture. You may use tissue paper or newspaper on the balloon. • Layer the balloon with about 10 to 15 layers of papier mâché. • Leave it on the side to dry. Make sure that the paper is secured on the balloon or else your mask may come apart. • Pop the balloon with a needle. For safety reasons, be sure to pop it away from your face. • Use scissors to cut the newspaper ball in half. • Create the features such as a nose, eyes, mouth, and two small holes on the sides around the ear area. • Push a rubber band through the holes and make a knot. Paint the mask and add other features, such as hair.
