In making animal heads with papier-mache, either a natural skull or one modelled in clay is obtained, and from this a plaster mould is taken. In this mould papier-mache is forced, or sheet after sheet of pasted paper is pressed m every direction, and forced well into the hollows. When dry, the material easily comes away from the mould To make papier-miche, tear into small pieces a number of old newspapers, and boil until quite soft. The pulp should then be removed from the fire and squeezed, some thin glue and plaster-of-Paris added, and the whole beaten well together. If the material is too dry, add glue; if too sticky, add plaster. When rubbed ou the hands it should leave a very thin coating.
