How to Make a Paper Mache Mask

Learn How to Create a Mask Using Paper Mache Techniques

How to Make a Paper Mache Mask. Sherri Osborn

Why not help your child make a mask using their own face as a mold. You can also make a mask using a balloon as a base. Not only can this be a fun and educational craft. but it is also a great way to make decorations and accessories for Halloween .

  • Age Guideline: 6 Years and Up
  • Time Required: Days

The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

Materials Needed:

Instructions:

Make sure you cover you work surface well. This can be newspaper laid on top of wax paper, freezer paper. or even on old tablecloth or shower curtain. This is a very messy project. Also, please note, to allow ample drying time, you will need a few days to complete this project.

To make a mask using a face as a mold, start off by tearing off a piece of aluminum foil at least twice as long as the subject's face, fold it in half. Use the subject's face as a mold by gently pressing the double layer of tin foil over it. Wad up newspaper and place it inside the curved section of the foil mold and lay it on your work surface.

If you prefer to use a balloon as a mold for your mask, start out by blowing up a balloon and tying it closed. Find a bowl or cup your balloon can sit on while you work on it. Completely cover the cup or bowl with plastic wrap so the paper mache hopefully does not stick to it. Tear newspaper into strips about 1- or 2-inches wide and 4- to 8-inches long. You will need a lot of newspaper. Choose one of the paper mache paste recipes here and make it. Follow these step-by-step directions to cover your foil mold or balloon.

If you are working with a foil mold, make sure not to press too hard or it may lose it shape! Cover the foil mold with at least 3 or 4 layers of paper mache, letting it dry completely between layers.

If you are working with a balloon, you will only want to cover half of the balloon with paper mache unless you want to make an entire head. Once you have on one layer of paper mache and it is dry, use various supplies to make dimensional facial features on your balloon. You can make a nose, ears, thick eye brows, lips, etc. Use cardboard, newspaper, foil, or other items. Use masking tape to hold everything in place. Once you have created all the facial features on your balloon mask, continue to add 3 or 4 more layers of paper mache .

Once the paper mache is dry, the mask can be painted and decorated however you like. If you used a balloon base, pop the balloon and remove any loose pieces. If you can't get them all, don't worry no one should see them on the inside. You can use a variety of craft supplies to add some personal touches to your mask, such as yarn, fabric scraps, beads, glitter, and paper. You are only limited by your own imagination.

While this mask is more for decorative purposes you can cut eye holes out before you decorate it and also punch holes on either side to add ribbon or elastic to fit around your head.

Can I be checked into multiple jukeboxes at once?

No. Checking into a second jukebox will automatically check you out of the current jukebox.

Do I always need to check into a jukebox to use the TouchTunes App?

You only need to check in to a jukebox if you want to play music, see what&rsquo,s playing and what song is up next, or see who else in the location is using the App to play music.

Beverly sills

Opera soprano Beverly Sills, called "America's Queen of Opera" by Time Magazine, and known as "Bubbles" to her fans, was the face of opera for millions through her public performances, recordings and broadcasts during a singing career of more than four decades.

After retiring in 1980, she stayed in the public eye for the next three decades as head of music organizations, host of public television specials, and as chairperson for national charities. With her death in 2007, the opera world lost one of its most visible and endearing supporters.

This web site is dedicated to preserving the artistry and humanity of Beverly Sills, offering an in-depth look at her life and career through print, sound and video. Whether you are a long-time fan or just discovering her, this web site provides useful and entertaining information, verified in the most authoritative resources.

Panda Free Antivirus

Editors' Review

by: Eddie Cho on August 13, 2014

Panda Free Antivirus is fast and free, boasts the top score in real-world protection, and offers a USB drive cleaner.

Pros

High security scores: Panda Free Antivirus scored an impressive 99.9 percent in real-world protection from AV-Comparatives, edging Bitdefender out of the top spot. Scanning in full mode took us about six minutes, which is fast for a free scanner.

Easy USB rescue setup: Panda includes a rescue USB tool that scans and removes viruses from your hard drive. The walk-through will show you how to install Panda Cloud Cleaner onto your flash drive, so that you can then boot your PC with Cloud Cleaner running.

Metro-like design: Panda Free Antivirus comes dressed like Windows 8. Each tiled module behaves similarly to the Windows 8 tile screen, complete with rearrangeable boxes and colors. Add more tools by upgrading to one of the premium versions.

Cons

Browser tampering: Panda includes some minor annoyances during installation. If you miss the opt-out prompt, your default browser search will automatically change to Yahoo, and your home page will be taken over by MyStart. You can avoid these results, but some users will still find the behavior annoying.

Bottom Line

Panda Free Antivirus has significantly boosted its protection score. As you make your way up through the pro versions, Panda Antivirus begins offering some of the more compelling tools, like backup schedulers, and removes browser offers from the installation process. The modern, Windows-8-style look hasn't changed much from last year's appearance, though that's not necessarily a bad thing. Panda Free Antivirus doesn't offer a lot of bonus tools but is a solid release that will protect your PC.
