Building a Witch

Step 3 Cut off the paper machie...

The paper machie covered skull should now be dry. Draw a vertical line around the center of head (if you're looking at a profile). Now take a cerated knife, and cut through the paper machie along the line. What you are doing here is cutting the paper machie off of the aluminum foil/plastic skull so you can use it to make more molds in the future. Start at the top of the skull and cut down. Only cut enough so you will be able to pull the aluminum foil/plastic out of paper machie. In my experience, I never had a big problem having the paper stick to the base skull. The paper would much rather stick to other paper than to another type of surface using my recipe for flour glue.

Once you have the base out, move on to the next step.
