So I got these Easter baskets in a Sale last year for £1 or £1.50 ... I used them once for a photo shoot... today I thought I would later them a bit so the pigs can use them.. they had plastic on in the inside so i cut a hole and pulled it all out... removed the carry handle, made some little pee pads to go inside and voila! 3 little beds for 3 little pigs... they will probably ignore them.......20200704_153559.webp20200704_162452.webp20200704_163922.webp

Have you asked around the neighbours? We have one paper a week if all your neighbours do the same then that's a lot a paper mache.
 
None get papers unfortunately. I may have to swing by the station and see if I can get hold of the metro...

I use scrapes of paper from magazines, paper glue and cardboard. There’s loads of paper mache demos on you tube. If your stuck sourcing newspaper maybe try grabbing some Metros if you live near a tube station or local super markets for Evening Standard or local papers. You probably know this having piggies. Apologies if I’m being a plonker😁 . Would love to see the mask in progress and/or finished.

Not a plonker at all. I’ve not used newspapers with my piggies. I’ll have to make a trip to the station tomorrow most likely. Or maybe before I go to work tonight. Have you ever used flour and water in place of glue? And do you dip the paper in the glue then stick to the balloon? What do you put on the balloon to stop it sticking? Have to buy some balloons as well.
 
I used flour and water paste when I had to make something out of paper mache years ago. I can't remember if I put anything on the balloon first or not. You paint flour and water paste on first then stick on the strips of paper.
 
I know you can use a balloon or do it directly on the face as long as you Vaseline eyebrows etc. Do go online. Don’t forget to put holes in the sides so you can use elastic/string to tie it on the face. I think this is going to be fun . I wish I could join in 😁
 
She used acrylic paint and wool, it's on a 12" square canvas. It's going to hang about the fireplace. To me,it looks like Aaron lilies
