Want to be with Frank? Here’s all you need to create your own papier mâché head.  You will need: An inflatable gym ball Cling film For the papier mache: glue, water, newspaper Cardboard Paint Scissors Masking tape Craft knife A marker pen Step 1: Inflate the gym ball and cover with cling film. Step 2: Starting at the bung, draw a line around the centre of the ball. Step 3: Mix the glue and water together to make a paste, and use it to apply newspaper strips over the cling film. You’ll need about four layers. Leave to dry overnight. Step 4: Cut the cling film and any paper along the centre line then deflate the ball and remove it. Step 5: To make Frank’s head oval shape, re-inflate the ball, and cling film all the way round the centre. Step 6: Attach the two sides again with tape and papier mâché over the gap. Make sure to leave a space for you head to go in. Once dried, remove the ball. Step
