How long does it take to make a papier-mâché mask?
How long it takes to make a papier-mâché mask depends on the complexity of the design. Normally, you will need to apply at least two layers of paper and then allow them to dry completely. Typically, the paper must sit for 2-3 hours to harden. After that, you will need to paint and decorate the mask. On 1stDibs, find a range of papier-mâché decorative objects.
