Glue squares almost up to the neck of the

balloon, so that it is nearly covered in a layer

of newspaper and glue. L eave the neck area, as it will

be cut away later.

Using the plain squares, repeat Steps 3–4.

As before, overlap the edges and go almost

up to the neck of the balloon.

1

Tea r the printed newspaper into about 1½ in

(4 cm) squares. Yo u want torn, rough edges, as

they will blend together well for the papier mâché.

In a bowl, mix equal amount s of glue and

water. Working on one sec tion of balloon at

a time, cover it with a layer of overlapping news paper

squares and glue.

Repeat Step 1, but this time tearing up the

plain newspaper into squares. Remember, you

want rough edges, not straight ones.

2

Measure the widest part of your head (and

hair). Blow up a round balloon to a circumference

at least 8 in (20 cm) larger than your head’s.

Sit the balloon

in a bowl so

that it is stable

as you work .

The circumference

is the distance all

around the outside

of a circle or sphere.

Using plain paper

helps you s ee

which areas you

have already

done and which

ones you haven’ t.
