Dear Jonni, I loved doing paper mache when I was a kid. I stumbled upon your site and was immediately captivated by your wonderful creations as well as your very generous sharing of ideas, recipes and methods. Suddenly my old passion for paper mache has been reawakened and I can’t wait to get started on my first project in over forty years! Thank you for the inspiration.

Sad person that I am, I am very critical of much, that finds its way onto KZbin. I always say, 'if a job us worth doing, its worth doing well'. But we get people who speak in the most unattractive and appallingly unintelligible way, with badly placed mics, background noise, etc. They just love the sound of their own voices, and get to their point halfway through the video! Thankfully, there are indeed some very professional videos. Many are inspirational, and leave you wanting more. This is one of them. Great! Thank you ma'am!!

Those Ninjas are fantastic for making paper pulp! I bought mine about a year ago. I fill it with paper and hot water and let it soak for a while. Then chop everything up to a pulp. Ring the water out using an old t-shirt. Then put the dry pulp back in the ninja for a final chop. You end up with a parmigiana like texture.

[@rachaelp5707]

I also use calcium carbonate/ground limestone to dry my clay up some. Not a big fan of flour either.

[@UltimatePaperMache]

[@DAVADMDAVAD]

Did you sincerely and actually say "gluten free paper mache recipe?" and mean it? Willl the gluten strings burn your hands or something?

[@emiliatriay2567]

@@DAVADMDAVAD Yes, I "sincerely" said what I said and meant it, and no it does not burn my hands but it does something probably as bad as getting my hands burned. Unfortunately (and believe it or not) some people have an extreme intolerance to gluten or a sensitivity to gluten, and some suffer from a very serious disease called Celiac Disease. In my case I just have an intolerance to gluten and cannot become in contact with it or ingested, if I do I get very stiff joints and horrible pain that doesn't go away with medication. I used to own a bakery and one summer I became violently ill and the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with me. After many tests and many specialists I was diagnose with fibromyalgia and had to close the business because I was overwhelmed with pain. Five years later I met a Doctor who recommended an elimination diet and that was when I found that I had a bad reaction to products that contained gluten. After 2 weeks of avoiding gluten I recovered my health and the joint swelling and pain of 5 years "magically" disappeared. Since then I have not needed any cortizone shots for my joints and the symptoms are gone, only to return if I am exposed to or eat "Gluten". So you see, finding this recipe was a nice surprised! ***There has been much research published by reputable medical journals about "Gluten intolerance"

[@JuliaStueber]

[@evansrichardw]

I've been watching your videos and taking careful notes. I admire and envy your artistic ability. I'm not artistic, more of a carpenter and stage hand for an opera company. I needed paper mache to make six semi-frightening severed heads for the opera "Turandot". I decided on your flour-less clay and the first batch worked beautifully. I started with styrofoam heads from store displays, primed them with acrylic-latex primer for hardening and adherence. I used crumpled tin-foil and double sided tape to add bulk where needed, putty to cover and adjust shapes and textures. This worked beautifully, although the surface was a bit lumpy. That was fine since these heads are supposed to be partly decomposed! For my second batch, I discovered something serendipitously. After soaking and macerating the toilet-paper with my $12 mixer, I had it draining in a strainer in the kitchen sink. Meanwhile, I was washing the mixing bowl with dishwashing detergent which accidentally went into the strainer and created some suds. Suddenly the lumpy wet toilet paper became smooth!!! I rinsed it thoroughly to get rid of the soap and then wringed it out (wrang? wrung?). This time, my wet 28 g of TP was only 88 g. The previous batch was 130g when wrung out. It released more of the water! When I mixed the joint compound and PVA glue, the result is a wonderfully smooth and creamy clay. It goes on smoothly without the lumps that I was getting previously. It's a real pleasure to smooth out. I will be "washing" my paper fibers from now on. I love the creamy texture.

[@UltimatePaperMache]

What a great experiment! Thanks for sharing it. Merry Christmas! 😊

[@vesgardens]

Thanks for the tip! I've been making paper clay without flour, but don't like the consistency. It works, but it can be lumpy and breaks apart too easily. I just got a mini food processor so I hope this helps.

Sounds good. I can’t wait to try it. I work with drywall joint compound often; it never occurred to me to use it in paper mache. I made some Christmas ornaments out of flour based paper mache as a kid living in Southern California. I had them shipped to Hawaii where I live now and they all disintegrated due to the high humidity. They were little irreplaceable treasures and I was very sorry to lose them after they had survived from over fifty years. An amusing related story. My first Christmas on the island I lived in a condo on the ocean. I had a Christmas tree and decided to hang candy canes on it. I thought they would look much better without their cellophane wrappers. I awoke the next morning to discover that the candy canes had all melted into stalactites of sugary goo that had reached the floor! Aloha from the island of Maui.

Thank you for your videos, I enjoy watching and learning from you. Your work is amazing! Tried this recipe but doubled the amounts. It was very wet and sticky. I probably didn’t get enough of the water out of the paper before shredding it. Used it anyway to make 2 fake rocks which are drying now. I had a little bit of clay left from this so I am going to try to add more paper but much drier than the first. Will let you know how the rocks and the clay with the extra, drier paper added to it turn out.

Are you using it as a solid rock-like piece instead of adding a thin layer over an armature? If so, I'd really like to know if they dry all the way through. I'm not sure they will, even with the drier paper, but I haven't tried it.

[@michelegould5637]

Ultimate Paper Mache I did use a foil armature like in your videos. I put the clay over this fairly thickly. The rocks are drying (with help of a fan) and becoming like, well, rocks. Think the paper pulp had too much water left in it. Going to make another batch and squeeze more water out than the first batch. I ordered one of your books yesterday so that will help. Thanks again Jonni!

I do a lot of paper clay work and I got a lot of silver fish they love flour , glue and paper . I got rid of them but still see the odd one or two now and again. Thanks for this as I ran out of flour xxxxx

Thank you for this video! I started making fairy houses and the video showed the mixture with flour. I made a beautiful fairy castle but as it dried I started noticing this black looking mess coming out and it was black mold! I had to destroy all that work I did.

[@UltimatePaperMache]

One way to avoid that is to put your work in front of a fan so it dries really fast. Mold can't grow without water. But in some locations, getting paper mache to dry fast is really hard if not impossible. I hope this recipe helps with your next project. Let us know!

Luv your art work.

You can buy bags of dry joint compound. You can use this powder to absorb the excess water instead of flour.

[@UltimatePaperMache]

Have you tried that? The dry joint compound contains plaster of Paris. And with the recipe in this particular video, there is no excess water.
