10 Holiday Paper Mache Ideas For You To Try

I haven't worked on a paper mache project since I was a kid.  With the opening of my new shop rapidly approaching I would love to include an occasional paper mache project in the class schedule.  So messy, but so much fun.  Here's some great Holiday Projects using paper mache.  

Halloween

You could wear it, hang it or make it smaller to use on another project, lots of options for a witch's hat.

How about a skull, looks a little harder but perfect for Halloween decor.

Pumpkins, so many different ways to do this.  You could stack them and make a topiary or do a face and have interesting wall decor.  Make them tiny with a stick for floral picks or how about a Holiday Tree with little pumpkin ornaments.  So many options, so little time!

I am completely enamored with these reindeer.  The link ends at Pinterest but with some research into paper mache methods I'm sure figuring them out would be easy enough.  Adorable!

What a great Santa.  I'm thinking a 2-liter bottle could work perfectly for the base.

These are from Pottery Barn but how easy would they be with balloons or just a 2-liter bottle for the base.  Too cute!
