    \r\n \t
  1. Mix up a glue solution out of 1\/3 PVA to water in a bowl<\/li>\r\n \t
  2. Blow up your balloon and be sure to make it big enough to fit on a head.<\/li>\r\n \t
  3. Rip your paper or newspaper into strips and begin to layer them all over the balloon with a layer of glue in between each layer, continue over the entire balloon (leaving a hole at the bottom) you will need at least 5 layers but the more you do the stronger it will be.<\/li>\r\n \t
  4. Leave this to dry overnight.<\/li>\r\n \t
  5. Once completely dry pop the balloon and carefully remove it from the inside.<\/li>\r\n \t
  6. Cut the hole at the bottom big enough to be able to put a head in and out easily.<\/li>\r\n \t
  7. Then draw an arch shape at the front and cut this out for the face.<\/li>\r\n \t
  8. Paint red and let dry.<\/li>\r\n \t
  9. Print the pintables off and cut them out.<\/li>\r\n \t
  10. Stick the stripe down the middle and the logos on each side. Create a small peak out of cardboard paint it black then glue it to the front.<\/li>\r\n \t
  11. Paint a black line around the edge of the helmet.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","shopping_list":"
