These are used for the eyebrows, ear trim, mouth, and hair line. After you tape on the nose and mustache, twist up some single sheets of paper towel and wrap them with tape. I had to guess when I did this, so the shapes are not 100% perfect. Try to be mindful of positioning of eyes and opening for the head. Wrap the shapes with masking tape so you can have them hold their form and then tape them to the primary structure of your costume. I took wadded up newspaper and molded it to the shape I wanted for the nose and mustache. VERY IMPORTANT: Monitor the inflation level of your beach ball once the layers begin to dry! You must deflate it a little bit each time to avoid expansion and possibly bursting your project.Īfter you have your base construction complete, you can then start on the detail work to give your costume more character. Continue this process until you have 8-10 layers built up. If you do more than 1 layer you may run the risk of it becoming too soggy and falling apart.

Place only 1 full layer at a time and allow them to dry in between. Make sure to leave about a 6" opening at the top of the beach ball so you can remove it later. Begin placing the strips on the beach ball working from the top to the bottom in a criss cross pattern for strength. Allow the strips to become saturated and then gently ring out the excess moisture. I prefer using the semi glossy ads because they hold up better when wet. Take your newspaper strips and dip them in the mixture. I use about 1/4 cup glue, 1 cup flour and about a litre of warm water.
Then take your glue and flour and mix them with warm water in your mixing bowl. Tie some string or fishing line (20 lb test) to the valve on the beach ball to hang it.
Take a 24" beach ball and fully inflate it.
