Thread: My first Paper Mache Skull....Need advise

Tweet

Thanks to all you guys and also both Skull & Bone & Pumkin Rot's website, I finally got around to try a paper mache skull. I have to say, it was fun & I intend to do more projects with paper mache! Cheap Cheap Cheap. I'm doing a cornfield room in our haunted house and here is my first try at those awsome looking skulls. What I need to know is,..........Knowing you guys usually use "Great Stuff" to fill the skulls, I want to keep the eyes, nose and mouth hollow to look like "Rots" skulls. Was I supposed to do the great stuff before cutting the eyes, nose, etc.............If not, what do you suggest I do to keep them looking hollow? Tape something behind each one to create a void? Thanks!

Looks great. I don't know anything about this stuff. What kind of mixture do you use?

Thanks FaceDealers,......It's just equal parts flour and water. Then you dip strips of newspaper in it and cover whatever you want to copy or build. Takes about 3 layers of newspaper strips. Very simple probably compared to those masks that you sell! Nice job!!
