Paper Mache Hand! Easy Tutorial

Make a realistic human hand with a simple paper mache technique (just newspaper applied with glue on an armature. NOT pulp or clay). You only need: wire (2.0 gauge), old newspapers, mask tape and wood glue.
Make a hand like this, paint it if you like and you can use it as decoration or even as a prop to show jewellery.
Easier than it looks!
Enjoy!

[@babongababonga9588]

Tip no 1: It is much easier than it looks Tip no 2: You can chose to make more slender or pointy fingers for a more expressionistic or fantasy result Tip no 3: you can paint it over (I painted one of them white, the other I couldn't chose color...) And a note: if you make rings or bracelets you can use it as a prop to show them. Enjoy!

What mm thickness of wire is this? I have a big project and don’t want to buy anything more thick than I need.

[@babongababonga9588]

@@DavidTanisDreams It is definitely more than 1.00 mm. That means either 1,20 or even more. It is cheap galvanized wire with no packaging information, bought from a hardware store.

What I love most about your videos is that as soon as I think of a question about the tutorial, your video magically answers it. It's like you have somehow read my mind! You are an excellent teacher and I greatly value your work.

I might add this to one of my mannequins. Usually I don't add hands to my mannequins so I can add gloves easier but the fingers seen more spread out here conpared to when I make a copy of my hand so it might actually be able to use this. Thanks!

How did you get the finished white one in the start of the video? the one next to the paper mache one

What color should be apply pn it?????

[@babongababonga9588]

I hesitated to color them because it might show all the imperfections. If I had to chose though, I would prefer a dark color, it hides some of the imperfections.

Hi! What sort of wire is this? X

[@babongababonga9588]

Just common galvanized wire from the hardware store, not steel or anything fancy. It's good for all sorts of work, cheap and it retains the shape.

Could u write the steps down simplified in the comments??

[@justsomerandomweeb2678]

How long did it take you?

[@babongababonga9588]

If I remember correctly, about 3 mornings. One morning for the armature and very rough features, another for the paper mache layers and a third morning for the details. As you see I didn't paint them really because it would have taken even more time.

[@DanceBoyYeah]

What did you do for the bottom base (the base that's holding up the hand sculpture)?

[@babongababonga9588]

A flat piece of carton.

[@DanceBoyYeah]

@@babongababonga9588 I meant after you were done with the hand, what did you do to the carton?

[@babongababonga9588]

Integrated it with the rest of the sculpture by using a few layers of newspaper and glue. It serves as a flat thin base.

[@DanceBoyYeah]

@@babongababonga9588 THANK YOU!! I actually finished up my hand with the help of your video. Thank you

[@halloonballoon1816]

Can I use PVA glue instead?

[@babongababonga9588]

Yes, I guess. If it is a white glue, soluble in water.

[@matildaforss1316]

How long does it take to dry?

[@babongababonga9588]

I usually let them dry overnight. But some times I use a hair dryer to quicken the process.
