Teaches process and reusing materials
 |
Blow up a balloon until head sized. Cover the balloon with strips of newspaper covered with glue (PVA). The more layers the stronger the mask will be. Do at least 4 layers |
 |
When dry (this may take some time), cut the balloon in half. This will give you two basic masks. |
 |
Add ears, noses, hair etc using card and then cover with the glued newspaper. Leave to dry then paint. A coat of white paint first helps. |
