How do you make a horsehair plume on a papier maiche greek helmet?

I'm actually doing a very similar project right now! What I'm planning to do is to use broom bristles as the main part of the plume. Brooms can be found relatively cheap and separating the bristles from the broom handle isn't hard at all. For a regular corn broom, about $4 for the Wal-Mart Mainstays brand broom - it's a matter of either cutting the bristles towards the base of the handle or unwinding the metal wire that holds them to the broom handle for a little extra length. Once you have the bristles off, you can cut them in half if you don't need their entire length. This will give you extra body for your plume.

For the base of the plume, it can be easily built out of cardboard by taping the shapes together and then covered with papier maiche for strength. Once built, you can paint it whatever colour you'd like. At this time, I would also suggest painting the bristles if you would like you change their colour. To do this, spread them out on a surface you wouldn't mind getting paint on (I would suggest newspaper outside) and go over them with spray paint. Remember to hold the spray can at least 8 inches from the bristles or they'll get too much paint on them and will tend to stick to the other bristles. It's better to do several light passes with the paint than to make sure they're all covered in one go. Keep in mind that they'll need to be turned over to get every spot on them!

After the body is made and papier maiche'd, you can use glue to adhere the broom bristles (or whatever you decide to use) to the inside of the plume. I would suggest an expanding glue like Gorilla Glue (can also be found at Wal-Mart). Cover the bottom of the inside of the plume (piece C or F on the diagram, depending on how you chose to build it) with a layer about a quarter of an inch thick. Now you're ready to start sticking in the bristles. Work from one end to the other, layering them in neatly. When you get to the end, you can add a little flair to the plume by adding in some longer, flimsier bristles. If this is what you want to do, it's helpful to have a material standing by that more closely mimics the feel of horsehair so that it lays properly from the back of the plume.

Let the bristles and glue set overnight at the very least; it's best to leave them alone for about a day for them to really set up. Once they're dry, though, you can now glue the plume to the helmet. (Gorilla Glue works well for this, too, although you won't need very much at all; a small line or two down the middle usually does the trick.) Let everything dry overnight again and you're done!

What is a lanyard hook?

It's one of those funky little clip things that goes on just about anything, like you sometimes get on keyrings

How do you start a gimp key chain?

Take two piece of plastic lace (same or different colors).

Piece will be used in half so be sure there is sufficient length.

Hold two pieces together and thread lanyard piece on them, pulling to halfway point. (Fold lace so lace is now doubled with the hook at the fold end and four strand ends are at the other.)

Cross the two pieces at the hook (+). Take one (top) piece and loop it over to other side. Take other end (bottom) and loop it to other end. Now take side piece and thread over one and under the other. Take last piece and do the same from the other side. Pull four strands tight and you should have the first layer of the four square lace.

It is kind of a handful at the beginning but once that start is made it is just loop, loop, over-under, over-under until you are done. Some glue the ends. Some tie a knot and have ends hang for the bottom.

To make colors next to each other you start with each half of the color strand in and L shape on the hook to make top, bottom, right and left sides of + .

Where can you get paper mache?

@ the store

....................

2nd answer from different person:

Paper Mache is an art so you can make it instead of buying some expensive paste at the store. All you have to do is mix flour and water together in a big bowl, mix until all of the flour is unseen. Then you dunk torn up news paper and place on whatever you are making. After a day it should be dry and repeat for 2 more layers, afterwards you can paint it.

I am looking for plastic or rubber coin slots to make piggy banks with. Does anyone know where I might find the coin slots without a bank attached?

I think what your looking for is the small round rubber disc on the bottom of a piggy bank, that's called a rubber bung. I'm also looking for the same thing to use on a glass block piece, so far no such luck. I'm thinking I may have to buy a cork bung from Michaels and cut it down to size.Good Luck with your search.

What can you use to make a plaster of Paris hand print that you can pop the impression of the hand out of?

Get a tray of sand and print your hand in that then pour the plaster of Paris on top of the sand print. Wait till dry then brush the sand off.

  • Try putting playdough (bought or home-made) into the bottom of a suitable size container lined with cling film, make the impression of your hand in the dough then pour in plaster of Paris. Allow to dry completely then remove from container (the cling film makes this easier), remove dough and 'voila'! Paint and/or varnish if desired.
