Pva glue with newspaper would work well. The toilet paper, I would imagine would get a bit too messy.
If it is well painted with color, then it should shine but for extra
shine, paint or spray with varnish.

my dad, years ago, made a paper mache head to go on a civil war dummy he kept at the top of the stairs in the attic. he's a civil war enthusiast/re-enactor. anyway, after a while we notice the head moving, and being kids, thought it was a ghost or monster or something. we were scared to death to go in that attic. then one day, the head moved enough until it fell over, and all these bugs came flying out, filling the attic. they were like flying ants or something. so beware, and do some research to see if you can find a way to avoid having a house full of bugs. good luck!
