Paper Mache dolls and masks

Funny and scary masks along with dolls can be made from paper Mache (example: a medicine man’s can be made for a Red Indian day). Soften paper and cardboard strips by adding them to a paste and mixing it into a sticky mass. Then the paste can be formed into the required shape. Taking the medicine man’s mask for example, you can prepare a wire holder on which the mask will be modelled. Let the masks dry and then paint with suitable paints and then lacquer the mask so that it is waterproof. Wool or unravelled hemp can be used for hair.
