Paper Mache version for Fancy Dress!!!

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/army-helmet • Posted by LeiLei

Hen Do....Army themed....need i say more! When it comes to fancy dress i have to do it properly, so obviously wanted a proper helmet but didnt have a spare £50!!! So i thought id try and make one. I got a large bowl that i coule fit on my head and covered it in cling film and just started the process of building up layers of paper mache. When it was ard i took it off the bowl and started making a slight rim and repeated that till it was sturdy and hard. I found Camouflage fabric and covered the entire thing with it, a few stitches so it would stay in place and...perfect. I placed two trips on each side and some velcro at the ends of them so it would then also stay on my head. I then scribbed 'Born to Kill' on the side and it was ready for WAR x
