Ludo from Labyrinth costume

Step 3Build it up

Build it up
Using paper towel and masking tape, start to build up the shape of Ludo's face.

We used paper towel rolled up to build up his eyebrows, cheeks and upper lip. Drawing on the plaster with a marker helped us determine where we needed to add to it.

After the basic shape was built up we covered it with another layer of plaster cloth. If you didn't have any plaster left over from the first step you could use papier mache.

Let it dry.

Make Ludo's horns by rolling newspaper around toilet paper tubes and shaping it with masking tape.

If your mask still needs more volume, build it up some more with paper and tape.

Cover the face and horns with papier mache. We used white glue diluted with warm water and strips of paper towel. The paper towel gives the horns a great texture so I would recommend using it over newspaper for this papier mache step.
