You can see how I made the face for the pig at the top of the blog by watching this video. The face info starts about the 1:35 mark. I hope that helps.

Is there any way you can give me detail instructions on how you made the snout on this pig?

You could make a flying pig that was hollow. You’d need to make sure the paper mache was completely dry before cutting it open and removing all the innards, though. After that, just put it back together – but after all that work, do you really want it to be destroyed just to get some candy?

That’s pretty cool. I wonder if it could be used as a really well-detailed pinata if the clay could be removed somehow?

Jonni – is the flying piggy yours? Lov it – if it’s your’s, I’m assuming you used your book method of construction – correct? How does he/she fly? SO WONDERFUL..

I can’t wait to see the dinosaur hats. What a great idea.

I’m glad I found this website. I’m a cub scout leader and our den are having a disasterous time making dinosaur hats. We had fun yesterday evening, but not much success.

One cub had two of his balloons pop, spattering him with plaster, a third popped later, and everyone fought to keep the ballons from rolling away.

I found out this morning that the balloon forms flake apart now that the plaster is dry, which made me look on-line to find out a better way of building paper mache. Your tutorials are just what I needed. Thank you very, very much.

I’m going to make more shells for the boys so we can finish the hats next week and I’ll take pictures of all of them and share them here when they are done.
