I love making my own decorations for Christmas, Halloween and Easter! I get a lot of inspiration from Pinterest, Dollar Tree, Hobby Lobby, Grandin Road and other places like those! I also get a lot of inspiration from Disney, Tim Burton and Dr Seuss. I love the whimsical style and I also like to combine vintage and modern.

Do you show how to make your homemade paper mache in another video? This little bat is adorable

[@TheSecretCraftRoom]

Yes, there is a link to that video in the description box 😊

[@missangie1562]

Hi Martina! What paper clay recipe did you use for this one. Looks different than the video you have linked to. Is it just different product?…instead of egg carton…maybe toilet paper or paper? But same everything else? I’m going to attempt this adorable bat bowl for spooky season. I do have air dry clay but that may be too heavy to use for all layers do you think? Any suggestions is appreciated greatly ❤thank you 😊

[@TheSecretCraftRoom]

I was experimenting a bit to try to make a finer paper clay. But the one I've made in the video that I linked works really well too. You could use only air dry clay if you want. I use this paper clay first because it's faster to build with and also saves on the air dry clay which can be a bit expensive (at least where I live). 😊

[@missangie1562]

Thank you for your quick reply! I want to try to use paper clay as well for I haven’t made or used it before and have heard and seen it works well. Clay here to is expensive Soo if I can minimize expenses where I can I will. I think I’m going to try using T.P cuz it looks like it may be the finer smoother and easier choice…plus I don’t eat enough eggs to have enough egg cartons to make mix but learning my lesson from Covid I have a good stash of TP 🧻 lol. Thanks for advice. Hope it works out.
