My little brother is helping me make it because he wants one too (and me wants me to get finished with his). Our paper mache mix isn't that lumpy even though we used a spoon. Wish us luck! bye [img]http://ultimatepapermache.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Deadmau5wallpaper2.JPG[/img] So I already started on my helmet!

You should check out the <a href="http://ultimatepapermache.com/papier-mache-art/last-two-masks-texas-outlaw-and-iron-celtic-helmet">"rusty iron" Celtic helmet</a> that I made for my new book (at the bottom of that page). I'll be putting up a video in a few days that includes the recipe for the paper mache paste I'm using, so keep watching the home page of this blog - or sign up for my newsletter.

I tried to double the recipe, didn't know the toilet paper should be soaked and spent long time tearing toilet paper. I was so excited that it was going to work but the paste just fell off my balloon. I did put the mass back in an air-tight container. Can it be salvaged or should I try again now that I have seen your video!!! Hi Jonni,

You can always try it and see what you think. Don't let the ink stay on your hands for very long, since I don't think they use non-toxic inks for magazines. If you do try it, please let us know what you think. Most people don’t use magazine paper because it’s coated, and too stiff to bend around shapes. You can always try it and see what you think.

I'm completely absolutely new to this! Quick question, can one substitute magazines for newspapers? (I have a ton of magazines, and I feel like I can use them for something.....). If so, how would the instructions be different? Thanks! Thanks for the article! I’m completely absolutely new to this! Quick question, can one substitute magazines for newspapers?

For the paste, I's dilute some white glue or even carpenters glue with just enough water to make it easy to work with. You'll need quite a few layers to make it strong enough, and you'll need to secure it to the wall so it won't come down if someone tries to climb the tree. I wouldn't soak the paper - you can dip it in your glue mixture or, better yet, brush the glue onto the tree and stick tour paper on. If you want a bark texture, you can soak the paper to soften it, so you can scrunch it up. The brown paper is a good choice.
