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.
@debracarter72904 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!
@tinkmarz14 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...!

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..

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.

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?

From one Kristin to another, I would like to inform you of MY favorite paper mache medium, which is liquid starch. No mixing, just pour and use.

why do you put the salt in the glue/water mixture? what does it do?

Great video and thank you for sharing this video and your thoughts! And, I think another bonus of the Flour over Elmers Glue, is that Flour is more Eco-Friendly. Elmers is 99.6% plant matter, which is great, but the other 0.4% contains Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA), which has some long term environmental considerations. PVA industrial practices are worth considering and comparing to the industrial practices involved in making Flour. When we consider how many kids and adult Paper Mache projects are created every day around the world, it seems worthy to consider that for every 996 gallons of Elmers that are used, there are 4 gallons of chemicals that will remain. As a parent, I have been trying to consider these topics more, as well as share the thought process about product life-span, discussing fashion, drafting, prototyping, and iteration, and appreciating the long-term impact of our creations with my 2 daughters. I feel like these two construction techniques are a great opportunity and primer for Social Empathy discussion with our children and peers, and I really appreciate that your video helped me and my family with our project. :D

I’m your opinion, which one would work best if I’m wanting to break it open?(sort of like a piñata) for a gender reveal

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??

I've just had a childish chuckle moment. I was gluing a plastic shape onto a stick and spilled glue onto the paper below. A phrase came out of my mouth I haven't heard or used since I was a kid in junior school. Paper mache!!!! Hahaha.......... I'm 42 and its after 11pm but I'm gonna give it a go! Happy days!

Do you have to apply anything on plastic form before putting on paper mache

I wonder if the flour mix can be lightly sanded afterwards to remove the coarseness. TY for the video.

Will the flour mixture mold after years?... I'm making a giant paper mache tree for my bedroom and I'm wondering if it will be an issue
@crystalandkay90934 жыл бұрын
I heard that the salt helps to prevent mold. Don’t know how long though.

Im in the process of making a pokeball surprise hopefully it will turn out just as nice! Someone told me to use wallpaper glue, so thats what im going with. Will also need more layers of newspaper since I want to put the actual bday presents inside, so it needs to be pretty firm. I'll have to let it dry between the different layers. Fingers crossed!

@howtowithkristin Would it come out smoother if using a brush for the flour option?
@Singlerose554 жыл бұрын
I do flour mix first then glue mix. I also hate getting my hands sticky so I use a paint brush. Mixture on, then paper then flatten with more mix, if needed I use fingers to smooth. Makes it easier for me.

Is it possible to use both methods? Maybe flour for the bad and glue to give it the smoothness?

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!

Hi! Can I sand the flour paper mache to get a smooth surface? Or can i aplly the flour paste onto the surface so i xan sand it down into a smooth one?
@toddmeier97432 жыл бұрын
to help reduce mess grab paper strip with only 2 fingers and start to dredge thru mixture and use a small throw away brush in other hand to finish. the brush helps to apply wet paper to the form very easily and very fast.

I’m making a planet in the solar system for a school project and I think I should use paper mache to cover a poly foam ball. Do you have any recommendations on which method I should use?
@nataliagonz46614 жыл бұрын
Thank you for this it was very useful!! But instead of newspaper can you use string and wrap the string around the ballon.?
@MsArgyleSocks4 жыл бұрын
You can use anything that'll be able to absorb the mixture, so yes, string will work :)
