2.)Cut your newspaper into strips or you can just rip it into uneven pieces, whatever works for you.
3.)Pour some glue in a plastic cup, or any cup, and add a tiny bit of water (when mixed it should feel a bit watery and sticky, if it only feels watery add more glue and vice versa)
4.)Get a strip, or piece, of newspaper, submerge it into the cup, with your index finger on the back and thumb on the front of the strip pull the excess glue off and back into the cup, and stick the piece on the balloon.
5.)Continue until every part of the balloon is covered with the newspaper
6.)Set it to dry (you can tie a piece of string on the end of the balloon and hang it up)
7.) Do the same to the second balloon, make them about the same size
8.) Each balloon must have 5 to 6 layers of newspaper (let it dry for about 12 hours for each layer before starting a new one)
10.) Cut each balloon according to the picture at the top
11.) Glue both pieces with a glue gun
14.)add pieces of resin clay, or air dry clay, on the outline of the mouth
19.)after its completely dry, use sandpaper to smooth it out
20.)if there are cracks or parts where the newspaper is showing, fill it in with a bit of skim coat, or the wall plaster ( you will need to smooth it out again
21.) Then set it to dry
22..)draw the parts (teeth, eye lines, and thicker nose)
23.) Paint in the parts with black acrylic paint.
24.)Cut out pieces of mesh one for the eyes and hot glue the pieces inside
