Step 4Cover the pieces with paper
Mix the PVA glue with an equal amount of water, and stir well. We'll use this to stick the papier mache layers on.
Have the kraft paper and copy paper ready.
Soak the kraft paper in the glue mix, and tear them into small squares (~ 2 cm). Make sure the paper is entirely soaked, and not just coated on the surface. Wipe off excess glue from the paper squares, and then paste them onto the reverse side of one helmet piece (ie the paper side of the foil wrap). Smooth out each paper square, pressing out air bubbles and excess glue. It's fine if the paper squares extend past the edges of the piece.
When the piece is completely covered with kraft paper, repeat the process with copy paper.
Let the pieces dry in the sun, but not completely - bring them inside when they feel about as pliable as leather.
