Paper Mache w Me! ✨

here is a little tutorial I put together for a simple paper mache! ⭐️

step 1. create a frame of the subject. For this project I’m making a bighorn sheep, and I used cardboard. other materials like wire and aluminum foil would work! 📦🗞️🖇️

step 2. wrap the frame in masking tape, this will hold ur structure together and create a canvas to paper mache on. ✨

step 3. mix a little Elmer’s glue with water. i think about 1 teaspoon of glue to 1/2 cup of water is a good ratio. ⭐️

step 4. rip up pieces of paper. i used old coupons and magazines. I found that thicker paper holds up a little better! 🗞️📖

step 5. dip the pieces of paper into the glue mixture and paint them on to the frame! ✨

step 6. paint! 🎨 🖌️

thank you for following along! I’ll update you on the process!!! 🫶🏻⭐️💕

How to make “clay” out of egg cartons!
In reality this is basically paper mache but it does kinda feel like clay. This was my first time trying this and I’m aware it looks very bumpy, but I already did attempt number 2 and I made it a lot smoother. The more you break down the egg cartons the smoother it’ll turn out. #claydiy #DIY
