Step 3: Cover With Tinfoil

I covered the entire face and most of the skull with tinfoil. Be sure to press the tinfoil into each crevice or else you will lose all the detailing you've created.

If I hadn't wanted my modelling clay back, I would have covered the entire head with tinfoil and paper mache. Good modelling clay isn't cheap, and being thrifty, I couldn't let all of that get trapped. 3/4 of the head gets covered with paper mache and is left to harden. This needs to be followed by 2 or 3 more layers of paper mache. You want to make sure the structure of the face will hold once it's been removed from the wig head.
