How can I attach cord to a mask?

Hello

I've constructed a paper mache mask and I am experimenting with embelishments.

I would like to attach 2mm twisted cord around the outside of the mask but I am having difficulty finding a suitable bonding agent that will hold it in place, securely.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanxx lol

Hello !

Oh, did it work  smile ?! I hope to see a photo...

To the embellishment: Did you try fast-drying elmers glue? After applying the cord fix it with one or two layers of thin paper.

hope that helps

Don't think it will be to the standard you guys work to, but as a first attempt I'm pleased with the outcome

Could you drill small holes in the mask?

Hello,
yes, that should be possible with a drill. I made a raven mask that has the holes in the beak. The holes are made with a nipper for belts to press holes in it.
