- [Principal] No running in the halls!
15 minutes, detention for you!
Your mother will hear about this!
- Oh well, hello there!
My name is Tommy, I am
a papier mache artist,
I just got detention!
Hi, mom!
I got in trouble at school again!
So anyway, in this video,
I will be showing you
how you can become the
Principal of the Thing.
I'm gonna show you how
you can make the mask
and how to dress just like him.
Alright, let's begin.
- Welcome to Tommy's Puppet Lab!
- Enjoy the show.
- For this tutorial, you
will need a head base.
If you do not have a head
base, click on the link
in the description below
to learn how to make
a simple head base.
Before we get started with this tutorial,
I just want to cover some safety.
Knives and scissors are
very sharp and pointy,
so please get an adult to help you.
Always cut away from yourself,
never towards yourself,
and that includes your fingers.
When using hot glue, always wear gloves
to protect yourself from burns.
Never touch the tip.
So please, be very careful with this,
and I highly recommend adult supervision.
Alright, let's start.
Alright, now we are going to make
the Principal of the Thing.
So, to do that, you will
need your head base.
If you don't have one, you
can make one with a balloon,
just see the link in
the description below,
like I said earlier.
Alright, so.
I'm going to start off by making the hair.
Crumple some newspaper on
top of the mask, like this.
This is probably good.
There's the hair.
That's gonna be his hair right there.
Now we're going to make the mouth.
He's got a very big mouth.
So we're gonna crumple newspaper
into the shape of a ring.
Kind of like this.
Like that.
You can make it a little
smaller if you want,
but he's got a very big mouth.
So just remember, when
you're using the hot glue,
don't forget about wearing
your gloves in the halls.
Gonna glue it right down here.
And it's starting to
look like him already.
We just need some ears.
We're gonna just crumple
some newspaper, like this.
We're gonna glue it to
the side, like this,
just right underneath the hair.
Kind of like the shape of an A.
I'm gonna use hot glue to glue
it to the side, like this.
So like that.
Do the same thing to the other side.
So now what we need is a
nose, and for the eyes,
I think we're just gonna
cut some holes for the eyes.
Alright, so we're gonna make the nose.
We're gonna scrunch newspaper
into the shape of a flat ball.
And that's just gonna
go right above his lips.
I'm just gonna give the hair
just a little more detail.
Just loosely scrunch some hair on the top,
to make it look more like hair.
So like that, just very loosely.
Alright, that's actually really
starting to look like him.
So what I'm gonna do next,
I am going to cover it all
in papier mache, so I am
going to do that right now.
Okay, so now it is time to
start adding papier mache.
So I'm going to show you how
to make the glue solution.
You will need white glue and
you're gonna need some water.
You'll also need a container
and a large paintbrush,
whatever size works for you, okay?
So you need to mix one part
water and one part white glue.
So what I mean by that
is if you're gonna use
one cup of water, you will
add one cup of white glue.
Two cups of water, two cups of white glue.
That's what one part water
and one part glue means.
So I'm gonna do that right now.
So I got this little measuring cup here.
So we're gonna start off
by adding one part water.
So we're gonna pour
that into the container.
And now we need to add
one cup of white glue.
I'm gonna do that.
And you just pour it into your water.
You use a small paintbrush
to get the glue off.
Now you're going to mix your solution.
You're gonna keep mixing it
until it is one smooth solution.
Okay, so that should be good enough.
So now we have our mixture.
Alright, now I'm gonna show
you how to use this glue.
So now you have your glue
mixture, so what I'm gonna do
is I'm gonna take some
glue with the paintbrush
and brush on the surface area.
We'll cover the newspaper,
and then we're going to take
some tissue paper or toilet paper.
I use toilet paper because it's cheap
and it works really well.
So you're going to cover the surface area
that you just put the glue on,
and we're gonna brush some
glue on top of it, like this.
Then, once you've completely
covered the surface area,
now we're gonna put another layer on top,
and we're gonna do the
same thing, like this.
And we're gonna brush even
more glue on top of the tissue.
You're gonna keep doing this
until everything is covered
with three or four layers, okay?
So let's do it.
So here is our Principal here.
So I definitely need to
shape the lips a little bit,
but yeah, he's kinda got
a really big mouth here.
So what I'm gonna do now, we're
gonna cut the nostrils out.
I'm gonna cut this out,
just right through.
Okay, so it should look like this,
so it looks more like a human nose.
Now I'm gonna just shape
the lips a little bit.
Now what I need to do is
I'm just gonna cover this
in papier mache, and we
will be ready to paint him.
Then, of course, we need
to cut out the eye holes,
so you can see out of it.
This character in particular,
I don't know if he has eyes.
He's kinda creepy, yeah.
Weird and kinda creepy.
So the eyes are gonna be
probably cut like this.
That's how the Principal's
gonna be, so he'll look better.
We're actually gonna put
some screen tape over it,
and we're gonna paint it, since
you can hardly see his eyes,
so that'll be alright.
But yeah, that'll be how we're
going to cut out the eyes,
and the eyebrows, I'm
just gonna paint them on.
So I'm just gonna make sure
I can see out of this mask.
Perfect!
I can see out of both eyes.
We're gonna take some screen tape.
So this is, you can get
a roll of this stuff
for about four bucks, okay?
So I just went ahead and
already cut myself a piece.
So now you're gonna take
the safety scissors.
In this case, they're not safety,
'cause they're very sharp.
Gonna cut out two pieces, like this.
Attach the screen tape on
the inside of the mask,
over the eyes.
His eyes are very
pixelated, this character,
so when you think of it, you'll
just look at it as pixels,
so we're gonna be painting
this, 'cause you can't really
see his eyes, though I'm
pretty sure he does have eyes.
Otherwise, how is he gonna be catching you
running in the halls?
Just like that, there you go.
Okay, everybody.
It's time to start painting the Principal.
So we are going to need,
no, that's too dark.
We're gonna need some brown,
and we're gonna need to mix
a little bit of orange with
a lot of white to get the
skin color, and we are also
going to need some black.
That's about all the
colors I'm gonna be using
for this character, alright?
So let's get busy.
Now, if you plug the holes here
in the mesh tape with paint,
just blow on it and that'll clear it up.
(blowing)
You want to be able to
see out of this mask.
(blowing)
(upbeat chiptune music)
Okay, so we now have the mask,
and you can see out of it.
So I just kind of...
So I painted over the eyes,
because I can't really see
his eyes, I don't know if he
has any, but he always knows
you're running in the
halls, so he must, somehow.
Anyway, so the next
things you are gonna need.
Okay, so this is what you will need.
You will need a gray sweater.
Try to get a dark gray if you can.
The light might show it black,
but this is actually gray.
I couldn't find any with stripes,
'cause I know his sweater
kinda has stripes going horizontally,
but this is the best I could do.
I actually kinda like this sweater.
So anyway, you'll need that.
It was hard to tell what
color pants he wore.
So I'm guessing he either
ways light gray, light blue,
or, I don't know, this
is a dark gray here.
This kind of has the vintage wash on it.
But this is what I have
here, it kind of has
the vintage wash on it here,
so that'll actually work.
And I know that his legs
are partially erased.
I am a human being, I
cannot erase my legs,
'cause I want my legs,
I like my legs, okay?
So we're just gonna go with that.
So I'm gonna put everything on,
and let's see how the
Principal of the Thing looks.
Alright, so I'm gonna go ahead
and send you to detention.
Okay, everybody, so now,
let's put everything on.
So what I have here is I
have that gray sweater.
You want the sweater
to hang over the pants,
he does not tuck 'em in like Baldi does.
These gray pants here,
and for some reason,
the Principal actually wears socks.
Yeah, he wears socks, not shoes.
No not wearing shoes in the
halls, that's what I say,
but this is his school,
so I guess he can do
whatever he wants.
Alright, here we go.
- [Principal] Detention for you.
- And there you have it.
You now know how to become
the Principal of the Thing,
and you can send your friends to detention
for running in the halls.
I'm getting out of here.
- [Principal] No escaping
detention in the halls!
30 minutes, detention for you!
When will you learn?
- Well, I've got more detention, yay!
I guess that means
that's it for this video!
Don't miss out on the Baldi
cosplay mask that I made.
Click on the link in the description below
to learn how to become Baldi.
I show you how to make
the mask, the ruler,
and how to dress just like him.
Alright, well I guess
that's it for this video.
I will see you all next
time, thank you so much
for watching, hope you enjoyed it.
Bye!
Take one hand and put
these two fingers together,
put your pinky on top and
grab your pinky with your
index finger, and you just
made yourself a puppet friend.
