Draw a large circle on a paper food bag. The circle should be the same size as your face or slightly larger.

This circle will reveal most of the face. To put it in place, snap the paper bag to your head and have someone draw a circle on the paper bag according to your face.

Cut out the circle. Remove the paper bag from the top and cut out the circle with scissors.

You can also cut 2 semicircles in the left and right corners of the bottom of the bag. This is not required, but it can make it easier for the paper bag to rest on the shoulders.

Trace the tip of the core of the tissue on the lid of the oatmeal container. Place the cardboard core of the tissue paper roll in the center of the oatmeal container lid and trace along with a marker.

Repeat this step with the second oat box lid.
You can leave the lid on the box or remove the lid while drawing, but when cutting the circles, the lid must be removed temporarily.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/db/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-4.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/db/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-4.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Cut the circles into holes. Use scissors to cut according to the circle just drawn on each box lid, then close the lid again.

You may have to use the sharp end of a nail or sharp scissors to poke a hole in the lid of the box along the circle. Once you have the initial hole, you can slip in and cut the circle as usual.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4e/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-5.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4e/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-5.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Attach these boxes to the paper bag. Place the boxes of oatmeal next to each other behind the paper bag (uncut side), near the bottom half of the bag. Use tape or staples to secure the two boxes to the paper bag.

Make sure the top of the box with the lid is facing up.
The bottoms of the oat cans should extend an arbitrary length below the bottom of the paper bag, but remember that the top of the paper bag should be high enough to be securely attached to the paper bag.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/34/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-6.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/34/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Thread the cardboard core into the oat box. Thread one end of the paper towel roll down through the hole in the lid of the oat tin. Tape or staple the end of the cardboard core to the paper bag.

Repeat this step with the tissue roll core and the second box of oats.
These cardboard cores mimic the shape of an oxygen tank’s air duct, and the oat boxes are oxygen cylinders.

Decorate the astronaut hat as you like. Use markers, crayons or crayons to draw and color the hat to your liking.

You can also decorate your astronaut hat with lightweight materials like stickers or foil shapes.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/56/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-8.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-8.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/56/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-8.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Put on the hat you just made. Now your astronaut hat is done. Snap the paper bag to the top so that the open circle is in front and the oat boxes are in the back.

Inflate a balloon. Inflate a regular balloon so that it is slightly larger than your head. Knot the bottom end of the ball tightly.

Tear newspaper into long strips. Tear 5 large sheets of newspaper into long strips about 5-8 cm wide.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/af/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-10Bullet1.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-10Bullet1.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/af/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-10Bullet1.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-10Bullet1.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Prepare the pulp. Prepare to make mache pulp if you haven’t already.

Mix 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of cornstarch with 1 quart of boiling water and stir until it forms a thin dough.

Cover floor or desk surfaces. Before you begin to dip newspaper in the dough and stick it on the ball, you should secure the work area. The gluing process can be messy, so it’s a good idea to spread tarps or old newspapers on the floor or on a table top so that if the powder drops, it will stick to the tarp or newspaper instead of the table or carpet.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1d/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-11.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/1d/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Glue the paper strips to the balloon. Dip each strip of newspaper in the dough one at a time and stick it close to the surface of the ball. Continue gluing each strip of paper to the ball both horizontally and vertically until the entire ball is covered.

When finished, the balloon will be covered with about 5 layers of newspaper.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/ff/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-11Bullet1.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-11Bullet1.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/ff/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-11Bullet1.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-11Bullet1.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Cover the entire ball, except for a small part near the knot. This area needs to be open so you can get the ball out later.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/75/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-12.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/75/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Wait for it to dry. Place the paper ball in a dry, draft-free place. Leave it on for 24 hours or until the surface of the ball hardens and dries completely.

The backing should be completely dry before you move on to the next step.
The climate where you live will affect how quickly the mache paper dries. If you live in a dry climate, mache will dry faster. In humid areas, it may take more than 24 hours to dry.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6e/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-13.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-13.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6e/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-13.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Take out the balloon. Pierce the ball by pricking the unpaved part of the bottom of the ball with a pin. Cleverly get the deflated ball through the hole.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6e/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-14.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-14.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6e/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-14.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Cut the paper ball into the shape of an astronaut hat. Use scissors to cut off the bottom of the sphere, then cut a circle to reveal the face.

Cut from the bottom or open end of the sphere. Cut off the bottom of the sphere wide enough for you to squeeze your head through.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d6/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-14Bullet1.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-14Bullet1.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d6/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-14Bullet1.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-14Bullet1.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Still starting at the bottom, cut a rectangle on the front. This rectangle will have a width equal to the distance between the eyes (from the outer corner of the eye). The length of the rectangle will be equal to the distance from the bottom of the forehead to the chin.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fc/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-15.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-15.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fc/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-15.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-15.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Color the astronaut hat. Use a paintbrush to decorate the hat to your liking. You can also decorate your astronaut hat with foil shapes or space-themed stickers.

Remember, you can also attach an antenna to an astronaut helmet. Poke 2 small holes in the top of the hat – one on the left and one on the right. Thread a piece of velvet zinc into each hole and glue the zinc tip inside the hat to keep it in place. You can attach a bead to the top of the velvet wire to complete the antenna’s shape.

Put on the astronaut hat you just made. After decorating, your astronaut hat can be worn.

Make an astronaut hat out of a plastic bucket

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e7/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-17.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-17.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e7/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-17.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-17.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Draw an oval on the side of a large bucket. This oval should be at least 18 cm wide and about 13 cm high, or wide enough for people to see your face. Use a pencil to sketch an oval.

Make sure this oval is in line with the face when you snap the bucket to the head. To calculate the correct position of the opening, you can hold the bucket face down in front of you and align the bottom of the bucket to the top of your head. Mark the point at the level of the eyebrow and the level of the lower lip. Draw an oval based on the marked points.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ee/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-25.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-25.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ee/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-25.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-25.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Make antenna. The antenna consists of a short wooden peg, 3 metal washers and a wooden marble. Use hot glue to attach the wooden marble to the top of the dowel. Thread the 3 washers into the pin from the bottom, adjusting the washers so that the washers are 5 cm below the marble and end about halfway down the pin.

Use a wooden dowel with a diameter of about 1.2 cm. Trim it so that the dowel is about 20cm long.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/42/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-25Bullet1.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-25Bullet1.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/42/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-25Bullet1.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-25Bullet1.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
The opening in the washers must also be 1.2 cm in diameter. The washers need to fit snugly on the pin. However, if necessary, you can keep these washers in place by dabbing a small drop of glue on the underside of each washer.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ed/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-25Bullet2.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-25Bullet2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ed/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-25Bullet2.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-25Bullet2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
The diameter of the wooden marble can be about 2-2.5 cm.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/50/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-25Bullet3.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-25Bullet3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/50/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-25Bullet3.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-25Bullet3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Make the base of the antenna. Use the dome-shaped lid of a plastic cup for milkshakes or other cold drinks. Find a round piece of wood large enough to cover the hole in the lid. Spray a ring of hot glue on the lid and press the log onto the glue.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/57/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-27.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-27.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/57/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-27.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-27.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Attach the antenna. Once the antenna and base are dry, dab hot glue on the bottom of the antenna pin and attach it right into the center of the log on top of the stand.

Wait for the entire antenna to dry completely before moving on to the next step.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/40/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-27Bullet1.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-27Bullet1.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/40/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-27Bullet1.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-27Bullet1.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Spray paint all over the antenna. Choose gold or bronze spray paint. Spray on the entire surface of the antenna, both the antenna fiber and the base.

Spray paint in ventilated area. You should also spread plastic cloth or newspaper underneath the antenna to prevent paint from staining the work surface.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/40/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-28Bullet1.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-28Bullet1.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/40/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-28Bullet1.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-28Bullet1.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
You don’t need to paint the inside of the stand.
Wait for the paint to dry completely. It can take 12-24 hours for the paint to dry, depending on the type of paint and the climate where you live.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/10/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-29.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-29.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/10/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-29.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-29.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Attach the antenna unit to a large clear plastic container. Find a clear plastic container that is wide enough to safely cover your head. Turn the plastic box upside down. Use hot glue to attach the bottom of the antenna base to the center of the bottom of the plastic box.

Plastic cheesecake containers are usually a good choice. However, no matter what type of container you use, you need to make sure it fits your head size and has a wide mouth. If the mouth of the box is too small, the hat can get stuck on your head or make it difficult for you to breathe because of the lack of air.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ef/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-30.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-30.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ef/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-30.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-30.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Wrap a golden ribbon around the top of the box. Cut a ribbon of gold foil long enough to wrap around the mouth of the plastic container. Use hot glue to glue the ribbon to the box.

Glue the ribbon about 2.5 cm or closer from the mouth of the box.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7e/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-31.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-31.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7e/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-31.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-31.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Cut a piece of hose. Measure a piece of hose long enough to wrap around the mouth of the can. Use sharp scissors to cut the tube to the correct size.

Use a black hose about 2.5 cm in diameter.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a2/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-32.jpg/v4-460px-Make-a-Space-Helmet- Step-32.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a2/Make-a-Space-Helmet-Step-32.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Space-Helmet-Step-32.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Stick the tube. Spray a splash of hot glue around the mouth of the box. Press the tube into the glue, wrapping it around the mouth of the box until the ends touch.

Cut off the excess tube.
