The wire frame was covered with an old bed sheet, and hand sewn on at the seams. I painted the sheet with my Paiper Mache wall paper paste mixture and let dry.

The sheet shrinks as it dries to a drum like finish. Next I taped cardboard pieces to the body of the tiki. Tape and crumpled paper on cardboard make the arms.

The Mouth was made from a thick rope that was twist tied to the metal frame to hold it in place. I began with random strips of Paiper Mache to hold everything in place.

My Paiper Mache mixture is wall paper paste and water with some garlic salt added to keep bugs from eating it in the future. Keep up the Paiper Mache!
