# There were some in the shops for about £15
so I decided that a couple of evenings with a load of papier-mâché and some paint would be cheaper and more fun. Top tip: use PVA glue instead of flour for the papier-mâché so it doesn't start to stink after a few days.

# Nicely done
Is that advice from experience? =]

Nothing like a nice stinky mask

# I bought a £2 basic-shape mask and built up the structure on that
the nose was done with cardboard, the forehead and nostrils were built up with the papier-mâché.

# thats really cool, did you use newspaper?

# Yep,
top tip 2: never leave a plain cut edge on the bits of paper. Only ever use torn edges, they absorb the water better, and so create a smoother final surface.

I feel like Tony Hart.

# I hate masks.
Not ones like these, just the bland non expressive ones.

That's why the Halloween series really creep me out...
