1: You will need to wrap the cling film around the mask template to make sure you get no glue on it. Make sure the cling film is tight around the front and the back.
2: Get the newspaper or the paper and rip it into strips.
3: When the newspaper is ripped into strips and the cling film is tightly wrapped around the template mask get the optional paint brush or your fingers and put some glue on the strips of news paper.
4: Put the glued strips of paper around the template until you have one layer and keep on layering the paper until you are happy with it.
5: Leave it to dry for about a day or two.
6: When it is dry, you can pull the newspaper mask of the template mask and it will be ready for you to decorate it any way you like.
OPTIONAL: If you want to add on cheeks, horns or teeth to your mask then just make them any way you like out of paper mache and stick it before you paint it.
We have been making masks for our new artefact project. I have been making a mask from the Beauty and Beast from paper mache and so far I am fairly happy with it.
