Take a roll of white craft paper
Choose your paper wisely. You want soft, flexible paper that can be shaped. A softer material will let you create more detail on your nose. If you have a hard time coming up with a shape for your nose, this article has several!
Using a hobby knife or scissors, cut the paper into long strips. Then, fold one end of the strip in under the other end and shape the nose.
How to apply glue to the nose: You can use hot glue or paste glue. Both are equally good at holding shape to the nose. If you use glue, do not take too much for fear of it setting forever.
Take another roll of red craft paper
Now, take another roll of white craft paper and fold one end in. This will create a nose tip.

Now, fold the other end in to the paper until it is all lined up. Pin in place to prevent movement.
Now, pull the layers apart and pin again to make a nice nose! This can be used as a repeat nose or used as a start to making a new face.
Make your way around the face removing any pin holes and pinning in place. When done, put some glue down to keep the noses in place.
Take a small piece of black craft paper
Place the paper around your nose and fold it in half along the length.
Then, fold the paper down to form a thick nose.
Make sure it is tight enough to prevent air and moisture from entering the nose area.
Try your clown nose out! You can open your mouth a little bit to show what area of the face you have covered with the clown nose.
Take a small piece of yellow craft paper
Place the paper between your thumb and forefinger, slightly overlapping the paper.
Paragraphs: Draw a line about one inch long down the paper, then draw a line about one inch long down the paper, then draw a line about one inch long down the paper, then draw a line about one inch long down the paper, then draw a line about one inch long down the paper, then draw a line about one inch long down thepaper, and there you have it! Your nose is ready to use!
Make sure to take your time to make your nose nice and round and smooth. If you rush it, it may get flatter or sharper looking. Let it dry for at least an hour before making another nose shape so it can wet up some water.
Take a small piece of blue craft paper
Place the paper in the shape of a nose, about an inch from the end.
Kneel up next to it, with your hands on the paper, and breathe on it. If you do this right, you will smell the odor of blue balloons and something sweet.
Now, let’s make our glue! Use a medium-sized container of glue if you have it, because this will take some time to work with. You want your glue to be thick enough to hold together the nose piece, but not so thick that it is hard to work with.
Put about a teaspoon of glue in the bottom of the nose piece, then place one or two pieces of paper around it to form the face. Try working with one piece of paper at a time until you get what you want! Then do it all over again!
Let your face harden completely before cutting and painting on some wrinkles and gaps.
Put the red paper onto the nose base
Now, fold the nose base up until it is tight. Glue the red paper to the bottom of the nose base.
Put the printed face onto your face and you are ready to go!
Making a clown nose is a fun way to do some craft practice. If you are especially talented at making clown noses, try experimenting with different shapes and materials.

Twist the white paper and place over the nose base
Now write a line above the nose base and wrap the white paper around that to create the curve of the nose.
Layer the different colored papers onto the nose base, using water to stick them on
Once you have the basic shape of the clown nose, add more papers to complete the look! Pick ones that are similar in texture and/or coloration to the face and/or fabric used to make the nose.
Mixing different types of paper can add some texture and depth to your creation. When working with very thin papers such as cellophane, it is easy to miss this and just stick with what is listed.
