Guy Fawkes Mask by Brian Chan

I glued a piece of white paper on the back of a black one and folded. It was quite fiddly though, due to the thickness and sogginess of the paper.

Man, helliluya, I wish you posted more often, haha. Did you glue spots on aftewards? Your designs look great!

My tissue foil is always wrinkled... which technique do you use to make it?

Yes. A friend of mine wants this model and asked me if I can glue spots on the giraffe.

I use spray adhesive to glue foil and tissue , you can reference Making Tissue Foil Demonstration , I learned a lot from this video

Yea.... part of my problem is the tissue I buy is creased before it is packaged, and it is impossible to smooth them out on the tube... Even if I do smooth out creases afterwards, they re-appear. I guess I'll just have to buy in rolls from now on.

And what did you roll your paper on? Some kind of plastic tubes? I can't be too rough with cardboard tubes.

Helliluya-are those both your designs? They are very good-I especially like how the back legs of the giraffe are shorter than the front. That hermit crab looks a lot like Kamiya's.

I'd say it's the giraffe by Hideo Komatsu and the Hermit crab by Satoshi Kamiya.

Yes, I used plastic tubes to roll tissue paper.

Jonnycakes wrote:Helliluya-are those both your designs?

No, just as Anna said , Giraffe was designed by Hideo Komatsu and Hermit Crab was designed by Satoshi Kamiya.

I was going to put the designers' name in my post, but instead i typed "40*40cm Tissue Foil" twice

, and now its corrected.
