If you want to make an authentic-looking Egyptian mummy mask, try making it out of papier mache. You can shape the mask over a balloon or foam wig head using strips of paper soaked in 1 part flour and 1 part water, with a little salt mixed in to prevent mold. When the mask dries, paint it with acrylic paint to add details like the striped headdress or wig and eyeliner. To get inspiration, go to a museum website to look at pictures of real mummy masks, which were usually made out of a papier mache-like material called cartonnage!
