Last month's issue we covered an introduction to paper-mache. Now is the perfect time to get your elbows dirty and go outdoors!
Dinosaur Mold:
Gather magazines, newspapers and masking tape. Crumbled the paper into balls of all sizes. Next, mold the newspaper balls as best you can to make it look like a dinosaur by attaching them together with masking tape. Cover your dinosaur with making tape as you see in my photos instructions. Rip out or cut out any imperfections and re-apply masking tape again to seal it.
Paper-mache Recipe:
Mix glue & water. 3 parts glue, 1 part water.
Instructions:
Divide 1 sheet of paper towel in 5 long pieces. Dip in one piece of paper towel at a time and apply evenly one layer of paper-mache. Tip: Allow 1 day to dry. Next day, you apply another coat of paper-mache. Allow another day to dry. Might take about 3 coats of paper-mache so be prepared to wait. Once dry, you can coat it with glue using your finger as an spatula. Allow 1 day to dry. Final step is the best step. Time to get dirty and paint it any color you desire. Have fun!
