0)TEAR THE NEWSPAPER

Rip the newspaper into strips—do not cut it.

1) MAKING PUPPET HEAD

DIFFERENT SHAPES

The shape of the head can be espherical, conical,triangular,

extended, long, deformed,etc

BALLOON

One of the simplest and most useful forms that you can

create with paper mache is the simple rounded object made

from an small balloon.

a)Blow air into a balloon until you reach the desired size.

b) Seal the balloon with a tight knot to keep the air in.

c) Rip up a bunch of newspaper strips and apply them to your

balloon, criss-srossing them as you overlap them using

your brush ( not your fingers)

When you’ve applied enough layers and your

newspaper strips have thoroughly dried. Now, take a small

sponge (or a sponge brush) and lightly rub clear glue over the

surface of the balloon, covering as much of it as you can.

2) MAKING THE NECK

The neck is made with a tube of toilet paper and then covered with strips of glued paper to get the rough shape of the head.

3) ADDING FEATURES (EARS ,EYEBROWS, NOSE, LIPS,...)

-NOSES

-EARS

-EYES

-LIPS, JAW AND CHEEKS

After You make a couple layers on the balloon you will ball up some paper to add the facial details .Do not try to be realistic. Be expressive. Exaggerate features of the face.

-Stick on two balls of newspaper for the cheeks

-Using a twist of newspaper doubled over upon itself, form the nose.

-Loop another twist under nose and cheeks to form a chin. Make it as bulky as need be.

4)IMPROVING DETAILS

Put another layer of paper over the facial details to smooth it all out. Let dry over night.

5) PAINTING THE FACE AND NECK

You are now ready to paint the face:

Once that is done and dry, you can paint a face on your puppet.It’s not a bad idea to coat the whole head with a base coat of acryllic (you can use left over interior house paint) and tintit to a skin colour (eg raw sienna).Be bold, bright, and simple. You are not painting a doll’s face. A puppet must look good at a distance.
