Elephant Sculpture - How to Make it With Paper Mache Clay

@Zayshire No, but you can see most of them on my site. UltimatePaperMache

is the dried paper mache clay water-proof?

[UltimatePaperMache]

@grezure No, but it does hold up a lot better than paper strips and paste. It would need a plastic coating of some kind if you wanted it to stay outside.

how heavy is the clay when it dries? i guess it depends? :)

[UltimatePaperMache]

@MissInterpretCosplay Yes, it depends on how thickly you apply it. A 1/8" layer won't be any heavier than a similar layer of traditional paper strips and paste.

[nataliawasilewska97]

how do you make the body of it?

[UltimatePaperMache]

@nataliawasilewska97 I made an inner pattern out of particle board, and then covered it with crumpled paper and masking tape. Then cover that with paper mache.

You have wonderful tutorials. Thanks

is paper mache easy or hard?

[UltimatePaperMache]

@chaoticplayer264 It depends on how it's done. Some projects are easy, but some people make museum-quality sculptures with paper mache.
