@catherina2611 Жыл бұрын

Flour/water paste is a lot smoother if you a) used about a quarter of the flour, b) Make a well in the flour, pour a little water into the well and gradually incorporate flour from around the sides, adding more water as needed then lumps should not form but if they do, either strain or blitz the mixture until it's completely lump free c) Keep adding water until the mixture is quite thin in viscosity then d) boil the mixture until it's translucent. e) leave to cool down. You'll be surprised how a little flour goes a long way and how much more pleasant it is to work with warm paste than cold, especially on a cool day.

I hands down prefer the glue recipe. I apply the glue with a brush...much faster and neater than dipping the paper strip and then wiping it off with fingers. Also, for me the glue method dries much, much faster than the flour recipe does...but instead of Elmer's school glue I used Alene's, and it was thinned a little more than in this video. Use the brush to smooth out the paper on your armature, as you work the glue gives the paper more elasticity than the flour recipe and results in a much smoother surface...that's been my experience. Yeah, you do have to apply more layers, but for me it's far more worth the effort. I'll only add that every artist/crafts person develops their own method...so don't hesitate to experiment to achieve what suits you best.

@debracarter7290 4 жыл бұрын

tinkmarz1 I’ve been doing the same as you - pva plus some water and applied with a brush. The brush gets rid of any air bubbles and the result is quite smooth. It’s been a successful method for me. Also I can’t stand that gloopy flour mixture! Ugh!

@tinkmarz1 4 жыл бұрын

@@debracarter7290 Yep...we're on the same page with this. If it weren't for the Aleene's/pva glue method I probably wouldn't even bother...lol...! I've also used cold porcelain (the no cook recipe) to cover for an extra smooth surface or sculpting detail. After the surface is dry, just brush some of the water/pva mix, apply the cold porcelain and smooth and work it, and dip brush or fingers in water/pva to help spread it. Don't stretch too much without working more water/pva into it...as it will probably crack as it dries. Speaking of cold porcelain, experimenting around I mixed some silicone caulk with corn starch and got a clay that when dry was very flexible felt like leather. Problem was, there's only about a 15 minute time frame to work with it before it's set. I wonder if adding a few drops of glycerine would extend working time (?). I also tried mixing pva glue with water putty (wood filler, powder form) and got a rock hard substance...problem again, dries too fast to make a large amount. I'm pretty sure adding water would probably extend the drying time...but never experimented any further with that, either. I thought maybe those two recipes might help you or someone else in experimenting in their creative journey. Whatever, good luck...!

Great video! I'm sure it's been mentioned, but wallpaper paste is cheap and excellent for paper mache, or even flour and wallpaper paste together if you want to combine materials. The process is very forgiving, so it's not necessarily either-or: if you want more hardness to the final product you can add some glue to the flour mixture (don't skip the salt, though, for the reasons you mentioned!). Also, don't use whole wheat or grainy flours - just regular all-purpose stuff. If you are using cloth instead of paper, then adding some white glue is probably a good idea for the added stiffness.

I like to use the flour glue that you boil. I made many projects with it and by putting at least 4 to 5 layers, I got a very hard surface that could crack a skull. I made doll rocks for doll photography to vessels (bowls). They were a lot of fun and very messy. My flour vases or bowls I would put in the oven for an hour or two at 100 degrees to aid in drying and yes, it was fun and gave me many ideas..

I do prefer wood glue, it dries more quickly and harder but school glue works also.

@thewhiteknight9923 3 жыл бұрын

If the paste is thin, it only becomes a problem if you apply over three layers per session. If you use the traditional glue recipe you need to apply 3 layers at most, wait a day or so for them to completely dry and then apply the next 3. If you need to apply many layers for structural support, apply the paper mache 3 layers at a time. That way the base will not collapse and drying will happen all the way to the core☺️

Nice work, Kristin. I have seen that a few people have used strips of paper bag to make Paper Mache, as well. I live in Canada, where large paper bags are available at our local Sobeys and Co-op grocery stores. Whenever I go there, I get paper bags for my groceries, although sometimes I like to go box shopping at the Co-op and get my stuff in boxes. I find that paper bag strips are much stronger than newspaper. It is also easier to paint. I am going to start working on paper mache crafts and what I am going to do is put a layer or two of newspaper around the object, and then put the paper bag strips over that. It should make it work well. Has anyone ever tried making paper mache chess pieces? Also, I saw a recipe where it said that paper mache paste can also be made with wallpaper paste, and it sticks better. Basically, with the glue recipe, can you simply say that you just dilute glue to make paper mache paste? I think that is basically what you are doing, isn't it?

Great video. Very well explained! What is a good paint to use and is there a way to seal it so the project can be washed?

@ahmadjamalkhan8797 4 жыл бұрын

You can use any time of paint as long as it does not contain a LOT of water. Acrylic or poster paints work the best. You can seal the top with more paper mache but I am not really sure about waterproofing. Maybe cover it with some type of waterproofing material?

Thank you so much for this! I am making the Loki helmet for Halloween and I just couldn't get the horns right. First I used aluminum foil and wrapped it is clay to smooth it, but the clay cracked. I also tried to make them entirely out of foam, but that didnt work for me either. Then I tried the floor method to wrap aluminum foil with and it worked amazingly! Now I have light and smooth horns to use for my Halloween costume. Thank you!

I'm pretty sure that maizena is also really good as glue (maizena is the mixture used to make home-made tortillas" My mom told me that that's how they'd make them in Mexico

Thank you for this it was very useful!! But instead of newspaper can you use string and wrap the string around the ballon.?

@MsArgyleSocks 4 жыл бұрын

You can use anything that'll be able to absorb the mixture, so yes, string will work :)

What about price and strength vs flexability?

Cheap bowl from Dollar Tree would make mixing a lot easier.

Hey love, been binge watching you all day. 😁 With halloween 2 months away could you please do a diy "werewolfs head on a stick" like little red riding hood killed the wolf and now walks with his head on a stick. Idk thought it might be fun :)

Very interested in doing this over a large styrofoam pumpkin that has crackling old paint.. i've sanded it down, removed as much chip paint as possible and am ready to paper mache it.. but am confused, you said that the recipes using 1:1 ratio of glue and water didn't work, but yet that was the recipe you mentioned in print over the video..can you clarify what you would do different.. like would you use more glue than water, like 2 parts glue to 1 part water??
