Step 6Get rid of the balloon
Now that the shape is coated with several layers of tape, pop the balloon and remove the rubber fragments.
What you end up with is a cling-film balloon shape inside the costume head. This is no problem for traditional tape sculpture, but for a costume, it will get in the way of the wearer's head. So, cut away the cling film balloon shape as much as you can, hollowing out the costume head.
After you have hollowed out the head, there will still be some cling film scraps inside of the head, and there will also be a lot of bare tape, sticky side out, on the inside the head. The costume wearer's hair will stick to this if we don't do something about it, so take some more cling film sheets and stick them to the exposed tape inside the head, so that all tape of the costume is now sticking to something and no glue is exposed.
