A costume head should fit over your own head and over a ceramic mug that holds a balloon. Next, mix a mixture of 3/4 cups of white glue with a quarter cup of water. Tear strips of newspaper into 1-inch-wide strips, then layer them over the top of the costume head. Once you have covered the whole head, let it dry. You can now tape on features, such as eyes, to form a face.

The first step is to build the costume head. It should be a tight fit. You should place a ceramic mug on top of the mug to keep the balloon in place. Then, create a paper mache paste by mixing 3/4 cups white glue with a quarter cup of water. After that, tear strips of newspaper into 1-inch wide strips. The final step is to tape the strips to the head. Once it’s dry, the head should look like it came straight from the box.
