I was wondering what Idlan was doing with balloons at the apartment last. It turned out that it was part of his assignment from school. What was it? To build a mask.
First, he inflated a balloon, pasted some papers at half the surface. This would form the curvature of a face. He then left the paper and glue to dry solid overnight.
Then came the colouring plus some bits for the nose and mouth. Walla!
