Elephant Headpiece
HOW IT’S BUILT💪🏻
PATTERN: Ultimate Paper Mache- Elephant Headdress Mask Pattern
BASE: cardstock paper and packing or gift tape (Hint: “score” all your pieces to make it easier to fold them)
1ST LAYERS (PAPER MACHE): Mod Podge and newspaper strips (2-3 layers)
2ND LAYER- optional (CLAY/SCULPT): Moldable Cosplay Foam Clay
3rd LAYER (PROTECTIVE): Worbla Flexbond Primer
4th LAYER (FINAL- lighter option): paint (acrylic) and seal it with a last layer of Mod Podge
OR
4th LAYER (FINAL- heavier option, seen in my photo): cover with fabric (faux lightweight faux leather was used in photo). If you choose this option…you can skip CLAY/SCULPT layer. Note: do not cover tusks, leave them white.
