paper mache
finished panda
in progress
When making a papier-mâché piece. You must start out with a basic shape. Typical made out of plastic bags. Once you have form the shape you want with the plastic bags can you start dipping long strips of newspaper in a flour and water mixture And putting them on your shape. Once you have 2 to 3 layers of this paper on your papier-mâché project you can start layering on paper towels. Once it’s fully dry you could put a primer layer of the main color of paint you want on your peice. Then paint all the details and then you’re done ✅.
My papier-mâché piece turned out successful in all areas. Some of the difficulties I had was making the original shape of my panda. It was difficult making the head and the body the shape I wanted.
