Just found you...really like all your little creatures..I haven't done paper machete since I was a teen...a hundred years ago..thanks for sharing your gift...hope to get into this soon...thanks
Thank you for these straightforward instructions! Fifteen years ago I saw a sculpture of a primitive horse and fell in love with it. I had over a decade of crafting skill throwing and sculpting clay but knew paper mache would be the medium best used for replicating the horse sculpture. This is so exciting!!!!
@@UltimatePaperMache The horse is a March project. A retired professor of visual art has also given me input on the armature and ears of the horse; using chicken wire which is on hand in the backyard storage shed which caused me to remember a large piece of leftover copper screening. YAYE! I have just received a fabulous new Sony digital camera which will require attention this next month. Life is so exciting! THANK YOU for checking in!
I'm making my first paper mache project in 40 years I was just 12 years old and had to make a piggy bank in art class 😁 thank you so much for sharing your techniques and experience so this old dog can learn a new trick 😁
Thanks so much. 😊 But remember - you can still have fun making stuff even if you're convinced you're not talented. Remember - the Mona Lisa wasn't da Vinci's first painting!
You are some terrific that's beautiful what you do I'm a born-again Christian and I love Jesus Christ and sometime I just want to have something to do so I do a lot of hearts can you do some beautiful work and I'm just soaking it all in and thank you very much I'm constantly watching thank you
Thanks for your videos Jonni, you are the best sculptor in papear mache! Your sculptures looks so real. I'm a follower from your channel since years ago. Keep doing these wonderful things you do. God bless you and your saints hands. Hugs dear! Sincerely, Monica
This is really cool thank you for sharing your art! I think I’m going to try using my projector to trace the outline. Hopefully it turns out, if not I’ll try the grid method. I LOVE ART!!
Im a new sub and quite excited to learn something different. I was trying to look up ANY craft that I can make with paper/flour/glue & anything else that goes to make up a mixture. I didn’t exactly want papier-mâché however this is what popped up. And I’m happy that it did!! Thanks
thank you so much for being so detailed and instructional in your videos!! I'm learning so much from you and can't wait to get creating! I just love your artwork, you are such a talented sculptor!
FYI: Some printers offer the option to "print as poster" in the print dialogue box for pdf files. It uses more paper, but can print out your design in actual size. Then you just have to tape the sheets together and use tracing carbon paper to get the design to your cardboard.
Jonni, thanks for the update on your process. To save money on foil, visit a restaurant supply shop or some place like COSTCO, and purchase their large rolls. The ones I buy are 12" X 1000' and cost about $18 back then The last one I purchased was in 2010 but I've only used it for food storage, etc. I prefer buying my foil (and plastic wrap) this way as it cuts down on how much I have to tote to the recycling center plus saving me money in the long run.
Great idea. I buy the largest and cheapest roll at Walmart. The cheaper foil is actually easier to use for sculpting, and that's a nice plus. We don't have a Costco nearby, unfortunately. I wish we did.
Great video and awesome artwork ! I used to use the square scaling method when computers weren't around and it still works great. But for lazy people like me, most of today's printers can print larger than their standard paper's dimensions by using a layout option called "mosaic" or "poster" (at least that's what they are called in french). You can print on 2x2 separate sheets, or 3x3, 4x4 etc. Then you just have to align and tape the sheets together, cut the shapes out, trace them on cardboard and voilà ! Hope that helps.
Thank you, Jonnie (Johnnie?). I've been working/playing with paper since the 1980s (mostly in the genre of the Mexican folk art of Alebrijes -- ie. my Avatar) but I still picked up some tips from you. :^) Mostly, you've validated some techniques that I've been using for years. One thing I have found invaluable has been an LED light-board. My one -- self imposed -- limitation is that I remove all armatures from the final piece unless they're made totally of paper. That is, I use strictly paper, glue, paint, and shellac. No sticks, wires, foil, balloons...etc. It adds another level of complexity that I enjoy from an engineering perspective. I kinda pride myself on how light-weight my works are. BTW, thanks for the video. I just subscribed and will be checking back. Just sane... :^) Saint
I'll have to check out the light-board - I've never used one, but it sounds interesting. And I hope you'll show us some of your work, on the Daily Sculptors page on my blog - we'd love to see them, and see how they're made: www.ultimatepapermache.com/daily-sculptors-group-page
@@UltimatePaperMache Cool. I'll see if I can rustle up some pictures to post. Mostly, I've given them all away to friends and family -- I'm sure you know how that goes. :^) BTW, I highly recommend a light-board that runs on a USB cable. I can sit in my van and work. I also have a little Jackery battery so I can work just about anywhere -- like at the beach. Just sane... :^) Saint
I love so many things about this. You're fantastic. This will be so handy when making piñatas for my son (currently obsessed with dinosaurs). Thank you!
Thank you for this! I've learned so much from your amazing videos.❤ One thing I thought of: I feel like we could also put blocks of cardboard to add bulk to make the design 3D then fill it in with paper to save on foil maybe?
Thanks so much for sharing!💟 I love that little pig you have there. So completely adorable!!. You are really great at what you do and I would love to have your skills🌻
You are SUCH a pleasure to watch! Your methods here resemble techniques I have utilized throughout the years for various projects that I understand your directions completely. My question is can I use this armature technique with polymer clay? I have had such a fit with getting my proportions just right. What might be different? I just started with clay but watching you makes me want to try paper mache!
I'm sorry I'm replying so late. I don't work with polymer clay. Is it possible to use a foil armature under the clay, or will the clay shrink and crack as it bakes? It would be worth experimenting with it, for sure. The patterns make sculpting animals so much easier, and the proportions always come out right. If you try it, please let us know if it works. 😊
Just discovered your channel. I have been modeling as a past time with air dry clay but I'd like to try paper maché so I'm really looking forward to see how it's like.
What would you do if you wanted to use your art in the garden? How would you UV them? How would you waterproof them? Wondering if your plaster cloth idea might work.
I would make my garden art with something other than paper mache. I've tried using various products to keep water from seeping into a paper mache clay sculpture, but none of them worked for me. I made a video about it, with some ideas you can experiment with, but my best suggestion is to spend your creative time building garden sculptures out of materials that are made for outdoor use. Have you seen my two-part series about my garden gnome? It has not paper mache, but it was easy to make and it's survived two Minnesota winters without any problems at all. You can see the first video in the series here: www.ultimatepapermache.com/gnome
I computer enlarge photos or drawings (in my case, in photoshop) by going to the bar at the top of your screen, to image to image size. You should then see the image size menu. Set the measurement units to inches and type in the vertical or horizontal size you want (say 24 inches). The the related horizontal or vertical scale will adjust automatically. I then select a rectangle approximately 8x10" to fit onto a normal printer paper.I then(under the edit menu, top bar) hit fill, and that brings up a menu in which you set the percentage color to say 10% and fill . So you have slightly greyed the part of the image you are printing. This is handy because you will be able to tell exactly what area to cut out of your printed page, and what area in your computer image you have already done., I copy and paste this to a new file and print this image. Go back, Move the selection and repeat until you have printed out the entire enlargement. Cut and scotch tape it together. Ann Preston
I would have liked to see the padding on the outside completed, so that it was the whole armature ready to have the paper mache added. Is it just a matter of molding more aluminum bundles on the outside to have it look like a completed three dimensional animal? Thank you....
I have a lot of videos that show different animals from start to finish. For a good overview of the entire process, watch the videos series about the little blue Egyptian hippo. The first video in the series is here: th-cam.com/video/4AmYS6RYT4c/w-d-xo.html
I know this is some years old but I didn't see if you left the perlite in, I heard you mention you were looking for vermiculite. But aren't both moisture retention products for gardening? So would they not suck up moisture from the air?
Hi Petrik. Are you talking about my paper mache clay recipe? Or the recipes I shared for making concrete sculptures? I am not using either perlite or vermiculite in anything at the moment, but if I know which recipe you're referring to I could be more helpful.
You're super awesome! Love watching you work. For me a project isn't complete if I don't burn myself or cut myself :p The foil transfers the heat from the glue really well too.
I have a pattern for a deer head, here: www.ultimatepapermache.com/diy-deer-head I don't have a video for the whole deer, but there's a video on my channel showing how to make a pattern for one. You can find it here: www.ultimatepapermache.com/paper-mache-armature-patterns
Thank you for all your videos you have made to help with making paper Mache. Do you have the print outs of the animals that I can download, I am struggling to use the paint tool Sai? This way I can just print out and cut out to start my first animal armature. I also tried to make the paper Mache clay from your other video and it was really sticky and didn't come out like yours.
You don't need to use software. I only did that for the video because I thought it would be easier for people to see what I was doing. You can just draw the outline of your animal, or use tracing paper. For the paper mache clay, you can add more flour to make it stiffer. But it needs to be sticky so it will stick to your armature. If it's sticking to your knife, just dip it in water.
@@UltimatePaperMache Thank you so much for being so helpful.. I have to do an art project for my art class and wanted to make flat mountain so I didn't have to do a 3-d sculpture and they came out not the best looking. But, once I finish my art project I wanted to try and make a sculpture. And, once I get good enough give them to people that are having hard times in hopes of brightening up there day. I just want to make a small kangaroo (unless that is not an animal to start with).
@@mommabeast9828 I do still have the line drawing of the kangaroo, but with the body and legs all on one image. Write me an email and I'll send it to you. www.ultimatepapermache.com/contact
There isn't another part of this video. I didn't make the pattern so I could create a finished kangaroo - I just used the shapes of a kangaroo to show how you can make a pattern for any kind of animal you like. There are a lot of full projects on this channel, but this isn't one of them. Have fun! 🙂
You can make a pattern for a life-sized one using the methods in this video. For a tiny one, I have a poodle in my book Make Tiny Paper Mache Dogs: amzn.to/1KXd9zg
Wow you are really talented. I've been sculpting with fimo/sculpy but it's very expensive. This is so much better. I love your videos very detailed but also to the point and you don"t have any distracting music. I've watched 3 of your tutorials so I may have missed this, but can you make small objects with your clay like say a pendant for a necklace? Please let know because I'm dying to try this out. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Hello 👋 I am new to this art but I tried to do a belly and bust cast for my then pregnant daughter. We used a plaster of Paris kit, it was messy and rather tricky to apply. Long story short, it has not turned out at all well. My question is, am I able to use it as a mould to create a paper mache art work, which would be much lighter and easier to hang in a shadow box. I don’t know how to start this project, do I apply some sort of plastic layer over the belly first so I can remove the paper mache easily once dry. To be honest I’m hesitant to do anything for fear of ruining it. I would be very grateful and relieved for tips and answers. Have a Super day 😊
Hi Sandy. Yes, that does sound messy, but if you have the basic form you can use paper mache either directly over it, like I often do, or put some plastic over it first and then add your paper mache. Paper mache does stick to plaster, so you'd need the plastic barrier if you want a lightweight, paper mache-only sculpture. I would recommend using a very thin (1/8") layer of the original paper mache clay recipe instead of paper strips and paste, to make a strong lightweight sculpture. You can see that recipe here: th-cam.com/video/1YQ6eUqcEh8/w-d-xo.html
Do you have any advice on creating armatures for life size paper mâche people? Would it be better to have a graph pattern of a person from the side view or front view? Especially when making a torso and head.

Yes, that will work. Thanks for the tip. 😊
Jonni, thanks for the update on your process.
To save money on foil, visit a restaurant supply shop or some place like COSTCO, and purchase their large rolls. The ones I buy are 12" X 1000' and cost about $18 back then The last one I purchased was in 2010 but I've only used it for food storage, etc. I prefer buying my foil (and plastic wrap) this way as it cuts down on how much I have to tote to the recycling center plus saving me money in the long run.
Great idea. I buy the largest and cheapest roll at Walmart. The cheaper foil is actually easier to use for sculpting, and that's a nice plus. We don't have a Costco nearby, unfortunately. I wish we did.
Got plastic wrap from bj's in like 2011. Still using it.
You are sooo right. Bargain for years to come.
I absolutely love your videos, I just found you and you are such a joy to watch. Thank you for making these and sharing your knowledge ❤️
You are so welcome! 😀
I agree with Sheila Morris...just subscribed on April 11,2019 Congratulations on your beautiful talent!!
Great video and awesome artwork ! I used to use the square scaling method when computers weren't around and it still works great. But for lazy people like me, most of today's printers can print larger than their standard paper's dimensions by using a layout option called "mosaic" or "poster" (at least that's what they are called in french). You can print on 2x2 separate sheets, or 3x3, 4x4 etc. Then you just have to align and tape the sheets together, cut the shapes out, trace them on cardboard and voilà ! Hope that helps.
Great idea, Erick. I think my printer can do that, too, but I haven't tried it. It would be a lot faster, though. 😀
What amazing work!! I’m shocked I haven’t seen you sooner!!

Can you show how to make a fancy poodle ? I want to make 2 standard size ones ! I am new to the art , but I really want to make 2 this summer !
You can make a pattern for a life-sized one using the methods in this video. For a tiny one, I have a poodle in my book Make Tiny Paper Mache Dogs: amzn.to/1KXd9zg

Have fun with it!
Que maravilha😍👏👏👏👏
Thanks! 😀
This is awesome
Thanks. It makes it so much easier to sculpt animals. 😀
Hello Jonni I love the sculptures you have created for the Lion King, how can I get a patterns to do that .
Hi Rosalva. Thanks for asking! You can find all my patterns, including the ones for the Lion King, here: www.ultimatepapermache.com/patterns
Have fun!
Thank you so much. You really Helped me a lot
Wow you are really talented. I've been sculpting with fimo/sculpy but it's very expensive. This is so much better. I love your videos very detailed but also to the point and you don"t have any distracting music. I've watched 3 of your tutorials so I may have missed this, but can you make small objects with your clay like say a pendant for a necklace? Please let know because I'm dying to try this out. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
I haven't done it, but some people have. I don't know how well they hold up, though. You'd need to experiment with it to find out.
Very Neat & Fun👍👍
Thank you 🤗
Hello 👋 I am new to this art but I tried to do a belly and bust cast for my then pregnant daughter. We used a plaster of Paris kit, it was messy and rather tricky to apply. Long story short, it has not turned out at all well. My question is, am I able to use it as a mould to create a paper mache art work, which would be much lighter and easier to hang in a shadow box. I don’t know how to start this project, do I apply some sort of plastic layer over the belly first so I can remove the paper mache easily once dry. To be honest I’m hesitant to do anything for fear of ruining it. I would be very grateful and relieved for tips and answers. Have a Super day 😊
Hi Sandy. Yes, that does sound messy, but if you have the basic form you can use paper mache either directly over it, like I often do, or put some plastic over it first and then add your paper mache. Paper mache does stick to plaster, so you'd need the plastic barrier if you want a lightweight, paper mache-only sculpture. I would recommend using a very thin (1/8") layer of the original paper mache clay recipe instead of paper strips and paste, to make a strong lightweight sculpture. You can see that recipe here: th-cam.com/video/1YQ6eUqcEh8/w-d-xo.html
Fantastic, how can I make an animal weatherproof for outside? Concrete as a last layer??
That might work. Did you see the video series I did about my garden gnome? You can see the first one here: th-cam.com/video/xXSsRo59Kwo/w-d-xo.html
Do you have any advice on creating armatures for life size paper mâche people? Would it be better to have a graph pattern of a person from the side view or front view? Especially when making a torso and head.
I haven't done a sculpture of a real human, but I think the side view would work best. If you try it, please let us know how it turns out.
