Step 3Step 3: Paper mache and blenders.
I tried a few different paper products till I realized that phone book pages worked GREAT. I coated everything with it. Inside the covers, back, spine, and of course many,many, layers over the face.
I wanted a little more detail in the eyes, nose, and mouth area so I blended up some of the phone book, and left over paper bag in the blender. (WOW let the wife know before you do that.) The paper was too lite to be cut as small as I liked so I just added water until I got what I wanted. I squeezed out the excess water and using small amounts of the paper pulp and some Elmers glue, I added the eye lids, firmed up the nose, sharpened the lips, and created the texture inside the mouth. I then added a few strips of paper mache over the lips to sharpen the edge even more.
If I had to do it again I would probably coat the whole face with the pulp and glue so as to create a similar texture to the movie prop.
