papier-mâché masks
Molded paper faces
Papier-mâché masks are masks made from paper pulp or strips of paper mixed with paste, molded over a form and allowed to harden.
The technique is popular for theatrical masks, carnival celebrations, and children's craft projects: The kids made papier-mâché masks for Halloween.
They can be painted and decorated once dry.
