How to make the Jigsaw Killers puppet, Billy, for virtually nothing

Step 4 Covering the mask

Tear up the newspaper into lots of tiny peices. It is the tearing of the newspaper that exposes the fibres in the paper which enable the paper to stick to each other better.

Mix up some PVA glue and water, there are lots of recipes for ratios but I prefer 2 parts glue to 1 part water. This is to be used to hold the paper to the mask.

This process is long and dull but worth doing well. Cover the whole mask in the newspaper pieces, ensuring you use plenties of glue. This will need several layers to give the mask some extra strength.

Once you are happy with the covering of newspaper to the right thickness and evenness, cut the jaw peice out of the bottom of the mask (see second photo). Give the whole thing one more layer with the plain white paper, but this time wrap the paper around the edges along the cut you just made. This will hide the layers of paper you just exposed.

how much time it should take to dry ? i've let it a day to dry and it's not dry yet... :\

It should only take 24 hours, is it possible that you made quite a weak mix of PVA and water?
