Creating Unique Snowmen out of Papier-Mache
- Difficulty: Very easy
-
I offer you to create snowmen out of papier-mache.
You need:
- papier-mache
- plastic bottle
- acrylic paint
- sponge for washing dishes
- floss
- brush
- black beads
- twine
- fabric
- Moment glue
Prepare a lot of papier-mache. There are many recipes, I think any will do. Personally, I make papier-mache out of egg boxes. Soak them in hot water, whip with a mixer, squeeze dry and add PVA glue to make 'dough'.
When papier-mache is ready, apply a thin layer on the plastic bottle from the bottom up. The size is up to you.
Look where you need to put a thicker layer to shape a snowman attractive.
Make two little holes and insert bead eyes. Make the nose and draw the mouth with a stick.
Make buttons.
Decorate the top of the snowman with anything, a hat or haircut.
I made holes for hair :)
A hat is glued.
Leave papier-mache to dry for a long time. This depends on temperature and humidity. Mine needed a couple of days.
Now the decor. Paint all necessary parts.
I also added a crocheted scarf.
Insert hair, if needed:
Personally, I enjoy creating these snowy men, it gives me much fun. Depends on your fancy :) I would be glad if you've been inspired to create a couple.
