We made a papier-maché dummy, but you can create whatever you like by following these steps.
Materials:
Newspaper or drop cloth
Rolls of plaster casting. Check your local craft, sculpture or art supply store.
The object you want to papier-maché
A bucket of water
Scissors
A sponge
Clothes you don't mind getting messy
Step by Step
Step 1
Discuss with your parents where you can work on your project.
Once you've agreed on the location, put down newspaper or a drop cloth to catch the drips.
After you have prepared your work area, cut a number of arm-length strips of the casting bandages.
Step 2
Dip the strip in the bucket of water, keeping it flat so it doesn't bunch up.
Step 3
Lay the strips on your object until it is completely covered. It's a good idea to do a couple of layers.
Step 4
Cut smaller strips to fill in any gaps. It helps to take a wet sponge to smooth out any rough spots.
Step 5
Let dry and enjoy. You can also paint your object when it's dry if you like.
