Thank you very much. And yes, you can definitely make a similar mask using cardboard instead of a plastic bottle. I chose to use the vinegar jug because it was convenient and provided me with a strong, curved shape. But you can get ceral box cardboard to curve like that too. Or you could create a cardboard pattern for a face similar to how I construced the beak, with folds and tabs taped or glued togther.

If you use flexible cardboard for the face you will want to make the paper mache much stronger--I would use brown paper bags instead of tissue paper and do at least two layers.

Good luck with your school project!

Thanks! If you use the brush to apply the paper pieces and use diluted wood glue, there is very little mess.

That came out amazing! Now I want to try it, even though our kitchen will be covered with sticky pieces of tissue paper for ages. That room could use some more color, anyway...
