Paper Maché

I'm not exactly obsessed with paper maché, but I have spent a lot a of time looking at projects lately. J has entered a 4H competition requiring a plaster or paper maché creation. We made a piñata a couple of years ago. If he makes another one for this competition, we could use it for M's birthday in April. Since she's an Elmo fan, I thought it'd be relatively easy to do an Elmo head. He, of course, wants a ninja. I guess we can save it for his birthday. Maybe I'll make an Elmo piñata and save a few bucks.

Here are some links to projects he likes:

A ninja from Etsy.

A very large bird, described as difficult: http://www.dltk-kids.com/animals/paper_mache_bird.htm

btw-I have no idea how to spell maché. Auto-correct keeps turning it into macho. :)
