Mix half a cup of flour with four cups of water. Once mixed place the mixture on the stove bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and add three tablespoons of salt. Leave the mixture to cool. The paper mache paste is now ready for use.
Cut up three sheets of white paper into small strips. Cover your face in petroleum jelly for protection and tie your hair back if you have long hair. Make a mold of your nose by dipping strips of paper into the paper mache paste and placing them over your nose. Leave the area underneath the nose open to allow you to breathe easily. Add three layers of paper strips and leave for fifteen minutes, until the paper mache begins to dry. Remove the mold and leave it to dry completely. Make a small hole in either side of the nose using a pin. Thread a length of elastic between the holes and make a knot in each end. The elastic will secure the nose to your face like a mask when it is finished.
Roll up length of card and secure with tape to form a long cylinder. Fit one hollow end over the tip of the molded nose and secure with masking tape. Cover the entire card nose with three layers of paper mache strips and leave to dry for 24 hours before painting.
