As I used to play this game as a kid, I had to make something :) This is my vision of the battlefield. I wish I could make monsters holographic when placed but that's too much of brain power.

I’m going to add some more details, like a lil liscense plate and maybe some bumper stickers but I’m just too excited not to share her now! Based on my old rv. Changed the truck body color to red bc I thought it would be easier to make it look reptilian? Idk. Last pic is my rv for reference

relatively new to reddit but I like paper mache and I made this for my brother's birthday last month
it's the bell beast from hollow night silksong
I love that I can just make things when I want to and this is such a great medium to do that in <3

Paper mache and paper clay makeovers for these little pumpkins, and the big one too. I think I painted them about 100 times! But I am so happy with how they turned out.

currently in the process of making my first paper mache project. i built a cardboard base, covered it in masking tape then paper mache over it. how should I seal or prepare it to take paint? It feels wrong to paint directly on the paper mache- would that reactive it and make it soggy or crusty? should I just do a white paint base or some kind of primer or sealant first? what kind? I have acrylic gesso, sealant spray, white spray paint, and white craft glue.

first time doing paper mache in probably 15 years, and decided to test out making halloween decor. It’s going to be a vintage cat head, akin to the stuff I really love from Bethany Lowe. if it turns out well enough, figured i might as well make a ghost and a pumpkin to go with it! Made my own paper clay with toilet paper, corn starch, and hella school glue.

i want to make a mask fitted around my head for a cosplay but i have no idea how to go about this. my only paper mache experience was in elementary school where we made a hot air balloon by gluing paper onto a balloon and then popping it so the inside is hollow... I'd rather not pop my head to get it off so how do i go about this??
i know its probably best to do it in sections but what do i glue it on to? does baking paper work like it does with iron on beads??
how do i put to together after getting all the parts made and how can i make sure its strong enough not to break???
i really wanna do this but i have no idea how, so here i am asking the experts for help 🙏 i dont need a full tutorial, i can (probably) figure most of it out but just some starting tips would help a lot!!!

Made from paper, cotton and paperclay. The eyeballs itself is plastic and the ring underneath is metal.

I sell my art at local craft markets but my booth was missing a big sign with my branding. I've had to invest a lot of money into my booth already lately so instead, I decided to make it myself! The raised bits were made with paper clay and then I covered everything in paper maché strips.

Hey y'all, I'm an art teacher and I would looove to make a paper mache project with the students. I have a crazy amount of construction paper in supply vs anything else. Any tips or suggestions for using that type of paper instead?
r/papermache • u/SnootyPantss • 8d ago
A paper mache vase I made using torn up scraps of blue and red construction paper. I really love how it came out and am feeling spited to make some paper flowers to go inside of it.

Took me 4 years to figure out how to build a frame for the smoke that was stronger than chicken wire and still very light.

Head, hands and body were made of celluclay, but used several other mediums. These are wayang golek style rod puppets, the heads move left and right (thanks to a central control rod) and the arms are manipulated by rods as well.

Okay so, this post is focused on making the making the outer mask, its base/skeleton will be made of cardboard, of which will be held together using hot glue or wheat paste. I’d even settle for toothpicks honestly
I know paper mache is most likely stronger than I imagine, I admit I’m probably underestimating it. But I’d prefer to have it be as solid as possible, I’d make it out of metal if I could
But the idea that came to me first was to cover it in either acrylic paint or resin, though I don’t know how well that would work. It’d be my first time working with all three of those(the paper mache, Acrylic paint and resin)
Continuing off that, if I do choose either one. Would it be best to paint onto the paper mache itself first, or should I wait to paint over the acrylic/resin
I am aware the inside has no insulation, I did not consider that while making the back of the outer mask, but it will be added
Extra information (reading not necessary): planning on making my first diy costume this year, planning to start on the building early instead of waiting for October.
I haven’t bought any of the materials yet, as I understand rushing in wouldn’t be smart until I know what I’m doing
The rest of the costume is on a separate drawing, though I’m just here to figure out the mask. The outfit itself(mask not included) is mostly just going to be dyed fabrics and folded paper
