Dungeons and Dragons Advanced Paper Mache (Papier-mâché) Terrain Craft Tutorial (DM's Craft

[@tamerbatayneh1163]

The phrase "Advanced Paper Mache" fills me with so much joy... It a phrase I didn't know I couldn't live without.

[@theDMsCraft]

Glad I could bring it to you =)

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

200 high fives to you my dude 🙌

[@theDMsCraft]

Thanks so much man

[@nicozandhuis1865]

That's alot of high fives

[@BraxtonSharkboy]

Love that last piece of terrain with that overhang, reminds me of that episode of Game of Thrones when Jon snow went to capture a white walker and needed to be saved by Daenerys and Drogon. Congrats on the 200th episode

[@DireSwift]

I wouldn't be a crafting DM if it wasn't for finding this channel and by extension the Tabletop Crafter's Guild. Congrats on 200! I have probably seen every one of them and enjoyed the ride and will continue to do so! The kids are always wanting a new project and this is perfect.

[@theDMsCraft]

so glad you enjoy my vids...Thanks for the kind words

[@theDMsCraft]

The cardboard will get wet, so leave it stuck to the plastic cutting board until fully dry or it may warp.

[@Bubs2375]

Omgoddess, I am soo glad 🤗 I found your channel... I'm an arty 🎨 crafter, and I've always been a big believer in finding out what you've got in your home 🏡 before you venture into the shops!...🏪 With my children growing up we loved rainy make & do ☔ days, we made all sorts, pictures made only with things we found on our nature walks, one of my favourite makes was a pair of 👀🐊👀 "croc-binocs" (binoculars in the shape of a crocodiles head) they were toilet roll tubes, yoghurt pots and newspaper soaked in flour & water, then we painted & coated them in pva glue, my daughter still has them and shes 25 now!... And funnily enough we made a landscape like yours just not on such a grand scale, we have a lot of great mumories, and the best thing is I now have grandchildren and the "rainy day make & do box" has officially been reinstated!!!...🥳... My eldest grandson is 7 and absolutely loves dragons, we've been trying to find a good project to do, he wants to incorporate dragons (obviously) So I've come up with an island idea, it's going to be a 3D treasure map including the sea and a pirate ship!, and it's your staggered cliff idea that's given me the inspiration for "Hangmans cliff" we've been planning and sketching out plans for "Dragons 🐲 Hollow" for a while, but I keep trying to put it off until after Christmas... because the updated and alot bigger version of the "rainy day make & do box" is their Christmas present.. ...🎁🤗🎁... I'm soo excited to show him your videos...📽... I'm soo sorry I've just realized I'm waffling on & on... ...🙄... I hope you have a wonderfully magikal Sunday my lovely... 💫🎨🐉🏝🐉🎨💫

[@theDMsCraft]

So glad you are excited. That project sounds really fun.

[@mmmchazburgrz9977]

I've been watching your vids for like 6 or 7 years and you just keep getting better. love your channel

[@robot21093]

I love the way you use things found around the house. Great work.

[@nykolostark]

Has anyone ever told you that your voice is calming and mesmerizing? You are like the Bob Ross of crafting! XD

[@theDMsCraft]

They have actually...thank you =)

[@photogfrank2146]

Hey Scottie! I want to say a belated congratulations on your 200th episode! It's probably more like 300 by now! But also congrats on 10 years! You have inspired all of us crafters to become crafters dude!

[@theDMsCraft]

Thanks so much =)

[@caiotguedes]

Congrats Scotty, you are awesome, you are the one who got me into doing game crafts, I hope that 200 is just the start, looking forward for the next 200!

[@VylyskaTechkov]

I must say, you are the most creative of the mini terrain builders on You Tube I have seen so far, I have learned more watching your videos than the others. 👍🏻

[@theDMsCraft]

So glad you find my techniques helpful...have fun

[@angelbookwalter832]

Scotty, another awesome video! You are truly the "CraftFather"!!!! I love watching your videos...I even go back and re-watch your older videos for more inspiration! Thank you!

[@theDMsCraft]

So glad you enjoy them...lots of craft ideas through the years.

[@simonburge8007]

I have watched your channel off and on for a few years now - superb! I haven't done paper-mache since primary school but I am going to make me some hills! Thanks for another great video.

[@Intro2Love]

Thank you scotty for giving us such awesome content, your like the godfather of tabletop crafting! Keep it coming 👍

[@theDMsCraft]

Very kind...thank you

[@DMPolmoharaPlays]

200th vids great job DM Scotty. This video is just something anyone can pull off and make but you just make it truly special. What can we expect from the High Father of Crafting? 😊

[@theDMsCraft]

Thanks so much, I always want people to feel they can make what I make...That is a real compliment.

[@mikeelarsen1964]

Gosh, this was a good one! Just what I needed for all that extra random cardboard laying around.

[@Helmethead85]

This is amazing! I cannot express in words how much I needed this video

[@theDMsCraft]

So glad it helped you.

[@jimmd68]

Congrats on #200! The hill came out great. Pencil shavings and sawdust have been used in model railroading and dioramas since the 1930's (maybe earlier). Nice to see a classic tried and true technique used effectively.

[@rodneip7077]

Very nice and easy. I keep mine with more dirt and less sand,

[@janete3511]

Congrats Dm Scotty, I'm kinda new into this community but I already love it

[@skeletonwithhat5077]

This is so great I’ve been needing a easy cliff message and I just found it

[@theDMsCraft]

So glad this works for you. An easy craft.

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

Love seeing you back to cardboard paper towels tp sand and pencil shavings. Been awhile since I heard you say black bomb it. Nice to see this part of the hobby again.

[@theDMsCraft]

Glad you enjoyed it...want to keep it cheap and easy for those without access to expensive tools or materials.

[@Kralandaddict]

Thanks for the guide! I’m giving the technique a try tonight and I just hope it will keep sticking together once it dries! I’ve poured over a bunch of 50/50 mix and will probably go over it again with pure glue tomorrow once it’s dry to consolidate the whole thing!

[@theDMsCraft]

I have had my pieces for years. Just make sure large pieces are completely dried out.

[@Kralandaddict]

TheDMsCraft how long does it take to dry? As it’s raining outside, I have to let them dry inside....

[@theDMsCraft]

@@Kralandaddict At least several days. putting the piece in front of a fan or heater vent quickens the process.

[@deathweepss]

Awesome, new to crafting my own stuff and paper mache was my second thought besides foam board

[@theDMsCraft]

It is very easy and fun !

[@lillysora]

I love this! I’m looking to avoid using insulation foam and paper mache is my favorite. You are the bob ross of tabletop crafting!

[@MrDefaultti]

I love this. It doesn't have to be ultra realistic. It is realistic anyway. DnD is also about imagination :-)

[@theDMsCraft]

I agree, if things look ultra realistic it can take away from the imagination.

[@DeathCraftDungeon]

Thank you Craftfather for bringing the craft into my life. Such great folks and fun. Congrats of 200!

[@theDMsCraft]

Glad I could be the one to introduce you to this wonderful hobby...Go forth and craft.

[@mauriceshannon5503]

Thanks for your badass creations

[@theDMsCraft]

Very welcome

[@TheGrizzledGeek]

Happy 200 sir! Excellent as always.

[@theDMsCraft]

Thanks so much =)

[@kalachivan158]

Very nice Scotty!!

[@melisaurusrex800]

This is just what I needed. Great ideas, information, and inspiration! I am one of those you mentioned that don't have the tools (or space) for working with foam. Thanks a bunch for this video! I'm going to go make something awesome now 😁

[@theDMsCraft]

So fantastic. You are exactly the why I make these videos =)

[@scarcreations5619]

Awesome video Scotty Thanks for being super cool!

[@worldbigfootcentral3933]

CONGRATULATIONS ON 200!!

[@robomouji9569]

Amazing as always. Keep up the good work.

Awesome vid once again Scotty.

[@JMorr-rh9ui]

Scotty, you're amazing, thank you!

[@alrethianscraftsbattles]

Congratz man! On to the next 200 😉. Good to see another craft video . Very informative video mate 👍

[@theDMsCraft]

Vids have been a bit more involved lately so taking me longer to produce.

[@1jugglethis]

Loved this

[@theDMsCraft]

So glad you did

[@marcof.8336]

Really awesome! Thanks for your tutorials, DM Scotty! Keep it up!

[@theDMsCraft]

You keep watching and i will keep making them.

[@jeffreykershner440]

Thank you DM Scotty! I can do this.

[@theDMsCraft]

You sure can! I want everyone to have as much fun as I have.

[@DMInsomnia]

Looks amazing! Here's to 200 more!

[@jeremytristram2581]

DAMNNN! I'm loving your videos man. I'd be really amazing if you did a post apocalyptic setting (Like in the third act of Endgame). That'd be rad! Again, love your work

[@theDMsCraft]

Good idea

[@eopatcjo]

This is amazing

[@theDMsCraft]

Thanks =)

[@blakeanderson4022]

I've been watching for years learning as much as I can. I just started DMing a group of my own and everyone is loving the builds that hit the table each week. Just wanted to say thanks Scotty. Btw can you make a video on how you get your wife to not beat you up after using all the doodoo paper? Lol

[@theDMsCraft]

Thanks, The secret is she likes my games so puts up with my crap...lol

[@TheGameSmithsTable]

Congrats! I'm just over 10 videos myself. I hope I to eventually release as many videos as you. 😆 Keep up your inspirational work!

[@theDMsCraft]

Keep it up!

[@TheGameSmithsTable]

Thanks for the encouragement!

[@stuartmulligan7761]

thanks you for the great video

[@AzraelThanatos]

I'd suggest that when you're doing the cliff faces, add a few small pieces of gravel to it, just embed it in the hot glue at areas to break it up slightly and make it more real looking.

[@theDMsCraft]

Nice idea

[@AzraelThanatos]

@@theDMsCraft It's an easy way to do it, and it also helps remove some of the more plastic looking parts of hot glue texture by doing so. It's one thing I've done when I'm making more path areas on terrain pieces.

[@garrettwilson5985]

AWESOME MAN

[@miztrebor]

Really happy to have found this paper mache method. I've been looking for a way to make a pond for my Christmas village, and I think this is exactly what I've been holding out for! From there, I'll expand into D&D terrain for sure. One question I had was about your 50/50 glue/water mixture. Do you use the Glue-All for that, or would cheaper white glue be fine? Just wondering since it'll be watered down glue anyway, if it mattered whether I bought some Dollar Tree cheap stuff, while using the Glue-All for all other aspects of the craft. Trying to get the most bang for my buck with the glue.

[@foulbowl2756]

congrats on hitting 200 videos ;)

[@jacknoron1]

Your 200's video, and mine 200's view, what a coincidence :P Anyway, amazing video Scotty, as always!

[@theDMsCraft]

heh heh, it was fate =P

[@sezrekahneldar4058]

Nice! Thanks again.

[@juliebower4265]

Just found you here fantastic

[@kevinguiboche2359]

[@Br0ns0n]

Dude. Nice!

[@DocPicklez]

Nice Job!

[@Itsnaiten]

the dungeon master here is happy!

[@theDMsCraft]

So glad to hear that =)

[@GJLentz]

I bet scotty orders TP in bulk and his mailman is like daaang this family goes #2 a lot!

[@theDMsCraft]

yeah, they think I am full of S*#t...lol

[@johnnycooper7019]

Scotty, What an amazing tutorial! I'm thinking of adapting your method to simulate sandstone/desert terrain. Any advice supplied would greatly be appreciated. Kind Regards Johnny

[@tobilynnswarthout2690]

Can you use the pink xps foam to do this also????

[@thoughtstorms_keith]

I'm a brand new viewer of your channel. This looks great, easy, and fun. One concern i have, do your builds ever get mouldy? Trapped water on paper eventually kind of going bad? Good stuff, i'm a new subscriber!

[@theDMsCraft]

Glad you like the stuff. All the water dries so no worries with mold. If you get it wet again could be a problem but all my years of doing stuff it has never been an issue.

[@CrazyCrethon]

The Rumpelstiltskin of crafting: Spinning trash into treasure!

[@ComEliazar]

Nice tutorial! I was wondering how long this hill should take to dry. Mine is still very soft, and definitely not solid as a rock.

[@theDMsCraft]

Drying times can vary quite a bit due to conditions. A fan or leaving in a hot car will speed up the process. Also when dry to the touch paint on a layer of glue with a wet brush. When fully dry it will harden up quite nicely if you soaked all the towels and TP in the 50/50 solution.

[@jktechwriter]

That looks awesome. The green drybrush at the end nailed it. Question -- after the 50/50 glue (before painting) was applied, how long would you estimate it took to dry? That was a LOT of 50/50 applied. Did you let it dry outside in the sun? Just curious about dry time.

[@theDMsCraft]

I usually let it dry a day between steps. putting it in your hot car can really help as well as putting it by a fan.

[@gensischosen251]

i have questions first, if a minture made of paper mache or paer issue mache like you is good for Painting actylic paints? since all my crafting years i made mintures out of Paper mache and that time i uses coloured papers to add colours but now i wanna paint it this second, If i made Floor street or medieval Tiles out of your paper mache techique is good? i have a idea if is wet i will use pencil or sitck to create floor tiles Third, there a guide videos thar for painting mintures and terrains but short like only 8 minutes instead of 30 minutes

[@theDMsCraft]

If you make paper mache as I have here you can paint it with acrylics. The paper mache is wet so anything that will bend as it dries will not work. As it drys to the touch you could put a weight on it to keep the tiles flat.

[@credodm1058]

2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣🏅🏅🏅 Congrats... As for the video... That's one BIG spitball... 😆 Fantastic though; I can't wait to try it. Reminds me of some of the cave/cavern techniques you showed during your 2.5D Next days - like the natural stone steps leading to a bridge. I really like this recent streak of videos you're doing that are oriented around demonstrating techniques, especially showcasing updates to techniques from years ago. Will you be demonstrating an updated version of your 3D structure builds with removable outer walls & roof, and 2.5D tile/interiors? Say, your mausoleum graveyard build? I ask because I really want to try out a newer structure build, but almost all crafters use xps foam (I have no plans to get into hotwire table cutting). Pax ✌️

[@theDMsCraft]

I do actually =)

[@Grimlock-y6l]

If you mist water down PVA over the flock when finished it won't come off again

[@francescospuntarelli7369]

Dm craft rules!

[@cha0sunity]

What is the mat you have everything sitting on, on your table made from? I have an ill bulletin board I think would make a good play surface

[@theDMsCraft]

It is a black foamcore board I stippled with a sponge in various colors of brown and green.

[@sadville13]

yay!

[@stevenwestfall7638]

I bet if you made a mushroom shaped paper mache piece and covered it with pencil shavings or flock it'd make a good tree.

[@theDMsCraft]

Sure would

[@spencerwills8853]

How long does it take to dry?

[@theDMsCraft]

Can depend on the size and conditions. At least a day or two. If careful you can put it in a oven at the lowest setting but make sure to keep an eye on it.

[@schipper99]

How long does it take to dry up?

[@theDMsCraft]

Depends on weather conditions. At least a day or two. A fan speeds up the process.

[@entirious9638]

NO SIR!!!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@RupertFoulmouth]

Curious if anyone in your household has ever found themselves out of paper towel or worse yet, toilet paper and then cursed your name and your channel. My wife loves to blame me for any paper outage even though I use a different brand.

[@unicorngirl26whydidiagreet24]

Hi

[@theDMsCraft]

LOL

[@seanooley7377]

Orrrr, since it’s not foam, spray it with some matte finish.

[@theDMsCraft]

Some people don't want to buy spray or have no place to spray it safely. One of the great things about this is you don't need to spray it.

[@mikeelliott2736]

It's papier mache, pronounced pap-i-er mash-ay. It's French you know.

[@theDMsCraft]

That I do.

[@Tallyallyloolah]

Wow. I mean cool. But. Good grief. This has to be the most work intensive, time intensive, glue heavy and expensive papier mache technique Ive seen ! It's like rich peoples masochist papier mache !

[@theDMsCraft]

Looks a bit harder than it is. Cardboard is free and you won't use near to one TP roll or roll of cheap paper towels so that is negligible also. One bottle of Glue-all would work so that is less that 3 bucks. Much less if you buy in bulk. The only thing is the time which i find to be less that normal paper mache. Putting the object in front of a fan or in a hot car speeds the drying considerably.

[@BraxtonSharkboy]

@Bork Have you ever even bought terrain or tiles? This is leagues cheaper than any of that bro

[@Tallyallyloolah]

@@BraxtonSharkboy Yes bro. Former scratch builder of terrain from 35mm down to 6mm scales, fantasy and sci fi and buyer of pieces when I couldn't be bothered. Did that for 20 years. Thanks for asking. That it's cheaper than something shop bought is a bit like saying cleaning the yard with a toothbrush is better than getting in a guy to do it for you.
