2 Stick the piece of card together with tape to form a tube and cover the tube with duct tape to prevent the pulp soaking into the card (if the card tube is not covered with duct tape, the head will collapse because of the weight of the pulp. Attach the tube onto the bottom of the balloon as shown in the photo.
3 Mix papier-mâché pulp with water in the ratio: 12 cups pulp to 4 cups water (3 parts pulp to 1 part water) and knead the mixture together.
