I just used this method to smooth the horns on the Minotaur I'm working on. I spread the joint compound thinly with a knife and let it dry. I was in a hurry, so then I took it outside and used a sanding sponge to smooth it down. A lightly damp sponge works, and doesn't make a mess - but it does take a little longer.
Hurray...long live America...the land of new beginnings, freedom, and Forgivness of all karma... Blessings of eternal love Cheers from Spain Thanks s small word fir all this help..to me and my first class children
As someone who works with Joint Compound ALL the time, I absolutely love this technique. While JC is imminently sandable, not having to generate all that dust is a HUGE improvement! Thank you so much @Ultimate Paper Mache : damp rag, here I come! 😍
Heather I have a question what do you do to prevent cracking when the joint compound dries? Or could you share your recipe? I new with this medium and I want to create art wall with it. I hope you can help me and I thank you for your time
@@LaReynaLagarto Hey there! Frankly, this has never been an issue...my pieces have never developed cracks - but, then again, I don't use layers that are more than 1/8" thick. If you are going to be building up substantial layers for your wall art, you may want to experiment with building them up incrementally - apply one layer, allow to dry, add the next, and so forth. Cracking usually occurs when the differential between the moisture content of the substance is very high, and the environmental conditions are quite dry and warm... allowing to dry slowly can help! xoxo
Heather Tracy do you know of a recipe without the joint compound? I bought this same brand and later realized it has cancer warnings on it and can cause lung damage if inhaled or handled often. 👀
You should do a series for beginners. From beginning to end for beginners. I love that I came across your channel WOW!! what a gem. Your work is so fantastic.
Hi Nona. I actually wrote a book that is a full course for beginning sculptors. If you start at the first project and keep going to the end, you'll be able to sculpt any animal you want. You can find it here: amzn.to/1nMUO3a
My Aunt and I and making a Paper Mache woman for my history fair at school. Paper mache is really hard and it’s only my first time. This really helped me, I think I’ll get an A+ on my project thanks to you! 💕
This is perfect for a Uni project I'm currently doing. It's to do with design and I'm so glad I found this recipe. It's a lifesaver while we're still in lock down here in Melbourne!
I’ve been trying to research tips and tricks for my craft I’ve been working on for 6 months. And FINALLY your videos have all the answers I need! Thank you so much!
I love your work! You are such an artist. You are so kind to share your recipes and techniques! I also adore your sweet and soothing voice. Thank you for sharing your talents!!!❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for this!! I live in an apartment and sanding is a nightmare. And I always buy the biggest bucket of joint compound so I have plenty for doing this technique. I love your videos. Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful paper mache knowledge 😄
Great info. Jonni, I've been wanting to use paper mache in my work, but didn't like the idea of having to sand. By the way, that giraffe is beautiful, as well as all those critters behind you! You're so talented! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. Your timing for this video is AWESOME! Did a search yesterday through all your videos to find a way to smooth out the texture. I make my clay a bit differently. First I've never added the flour. Secondly I start the clay with completely dried toilet paper chunks. The rest of the recipe is yours with these changes. After soaking the toilet paper I use an old T-shirt to squeeze out as much water as possible. Use a blender to chop the toilet paper into small chunks. Then let them dry completely. When mixing I can control the amount of water. Allowing me to make a stiffer, more moldable clay. The clay has to sit overnight in a sealable plastic bag. Instead of relying on a perfect armature I make a simple one as close to the shape I need. Relying on the stiffness of the clay and my hands to form the final shape. This makes a textured clay. The texture has worked in my favor. Adding an extra depth to my work. My next project needs to be as smooth as possible. Thank you for your great timing!
I must be psychic! Do you show your process anywhere? I didn't see it on your channel. I'm currently trying to learn Ukulele and not having much luck with my old fingers - do you have any suggestions for me? Not quite the same as the instrument you play, but close... :)
@@UltimatePaperMache No I don't have any pics of my stuff or process. But as far as the Ukulele goes try this. Learn to press the strings as lightly as you need to. Most beginners try to play to hard. Start by pressing down a string. Wile you pick at that string slowly lift your finger till it no longer sounds good. Then lightly press till it does. Try the next finger and see if you can remember how lightly you pressed with the first one.
Your paper mache clay tutorials have worked out wonderfully for me, I'm knee deep in a massive prop making project, and it felt like I was in way over my head until I started watching your videos. I love your work, keep it up!
ma'am your a genius!!! i mean prop making with this technique, lightweight, cheap and AWESOME without sanding... come on!! insta sub! real ultimate paper mache technique
Thank you so much for this♥️. Its very generous of you to share your knowledge. I started an ambitious project for my kids room and was about to toss it out until I saw this, so Thank you...now I keep going♥️
That's great! If you'd like to show off that project when it's done, you can share it on the Daily Sculptors page on my site: www.ultimatepapermache.com/daily-sculptors-group-page
What a great project idea! I would love to see them, and so would my blog readers. You can share photos of your dolls on the Daily Sculptors page on my site, if you'd like to: www.ultimatepapermache.com/daily-sculptors-group-page
Thank you so much! I’ve been making things with paper maché my whole life, just layer by layer, but never had a way to finish it nicely :) I’m going to try this
@@UltimatePaperMache I think I translated it wrong bc it came out all grainy (or I just did it wrong haha) I'm going to keep trying though! :) it's much better looking already then having a lot of paper stripes
Yes, I’m starting my kids costumes and my daughter wants to be Alien Predator 😬 I love a challenge but I’m going to have to watch a lot of this lady’s videos. Nice and talented woman! I’m so glad she mad a channel.
@@UltimatePaperMache We should thank YOU for sharing your time, talent, sweetness and also your infallible recipes. :) There is another artist that I like, his channel is the 'Ace of Clay'. He is a fine young man who works only with polymerclay doing tutorials just like you. He recently made a video collab with another channel. It was like a sculpture challenge, one artist describes a character and the other carves. It worked incredibly for both and could be a fun solution to improve the numbers! Sincerely
omg, i love what you do, and i love to hear you explaining things, you do it so detailed. My daughter is a schoolteacher and i think i am going to make some masks voor her class. i am from Belgium and hope it go"s well when i want to order something.
I experimented with a filler for areas that both needed strength and build up . I took dryer lint mixed with flour mixed with water with some salt kept it in a jar to put in refrigerator when not being needed. I used a silicon spatula and easy to get smooth and really strong!
I applied a dab at a time to about an eighth of an inch and feather out with a wet finger . I let it dry for about an hour won,t move and two hours or hair drier surprised me how hard. That was a help but practice might get as smooth as you. I don’t know why my wife has a can of drier lint but she offered it to me use!
But it did warp, I'm afraid. I hoped that the masking tape would slow down the warping, and I think it did - but it still isn't entirely flat. It's hard to keep cardboard (or even plywood) from warping when something wet is added on just one side. I hope to experiment some more, because for years I've wanted to create a faux Mayan wall carving. It might work if the shapes are built up with foil before adding the paper mache clay, but not if the clay is added directly to a flat background. If anyone has ideas for making it work, let us know. :)
I stumbled upon this video looking up some tips on paper mache projects. Can't wait to try this technique on a gift for a friend! Thank you for sharing this amazing idea!
Ok, this is really good. I have been making some things with the new recipe, which I like that I don’t need to add flour. Now with the new bit of information, I will apply the final coat with joint compound to smooth out. As soon as I have something finished, I will share. Thanks for your continued, enjoyable and informative videos, Jonni!
Hi Jonni, I just discovered your channel and I love it!! Your sculptures are gorgeous and I love the instruction videos. You really explain everything so well and you have such a soothing voice. I’ll be starting my paper maché project tomorrow morning for my art portfolio (I’ll be making three masks) and I’ll be glad to test out your techniques 🤩. Keep it going! 🧡
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I'm going to use your recipe to scultlpt dreamy images on my bedroom wall. Thank you again. You're awesome.
You’re a godsend to find. So cool. I’m craving to start sculpting but have so little to get started with. I will start nonetheless, and have found you amid searching for epoxy clays and then in one of your videos you just had mentioned to watch other vids dealing with your experimentation with creating outdoor sculpture.
Most of my experiments didn't work out very well, I'm afraid. The epoxy works great (my squirrel has been outside in three bitterly cold Minnesota winters, rain, snow and sun, and looks the same as the day I made him. And my smaller concrete sculptures are doing OK, but the larger figure sculpture cracked. Have you found a good material to use for outdoor sculptures that's less expensive than epoxy?
Thanks for this! I'd made a pumpkinhead out of paper clay but the result was so bumpy and rough that I abandoned it. I'm going to revisit it and use your technique. Thanks again!
@@dme3o The fastest way to get an answer is to put it in the comment area on the Daily Sculptors page on my website. You can find it here: www.ultimatepapermache.com/daily-sculptors-group-page - Thanks for asking. 😀
Have you tried using the air dry clay recipe? It's the same ingredients, but less paper and a little cornstarch to make it smoother. ruclips.net/video/T9lOY1xNslw/видео.html
Yes, I’m starting my kids costumes and my daughter wants to be Alien Predator 😬 I love a challenge but I’m going to have to watch a lot of this lady’s videos. Nice and talented woman! I’m so glad she made a channel.
Ultimate Paper Mache yes! I have to start early because they take a while. I’m learning from your videos how to construct the head of the alien (it will be constructed on top of a bike helmet). I am making this costume: 😬 www.google.com/search?q=alien+predator+xenomorph&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjtzffKutLxAhVFW98KHYDbAlMQ2-cCegQIABAC&oq=alien+predator+xenomorph&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzICCAAyBggAEAgQHjIGCAAQCBAeMgYIABAIEB4yBggAEAgQHjoECCMQJzoHCCMQsAIQJzoECB4QCjoGCAAQBxAeOggIABAIEAcQHjoECAAQDToHCAAQsQMQQzoFCAAQsQNQp1NYo68BYIGyAWgAcAB4AIABe4gBvA6SAQQxOS4ymAEAoAEBwAEB&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=A2fmYK3AIcW2_QaAt4uYBQ&bih=454&biw=320&prmd=insv#imgrc=AI-RSnlQvkRX0M
Thank you! Appreciate it. My only questions is with the joint compound, I’m sure you’re right that it’s harder/stiffer. But is it more likely to chip? Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I've never seen it chip when used on a sculpture. But if you use it on something that's really flexible, or that is used roughly, you might want to use some other way to make your paper mache smooth.
I've been customizing cars since I was a teenager. One of the most difficult things is casting a mold for fiberglass pieces. There's so many ways I've seen on RUclips (Styrofoam with Epoxy resin, clay, expansion foam etc). But sometimes you don't want to say, pull the whole dashboard out of a car just for a couple of custom panels... I think I'm going to try this method... I haven't done this since kindergarten lol. I try casting the walls in my trunk 1st... Just in case I do something wrong. I won't have to explain to everyone why I have paste on my speedometer 😂... Oh and btw. The cake spreader ... If anyone wants to use something different. Your local parts store sales spreaders used in bodywork repair. They're like the cake spreader but without the handle.... It's easier (if) air bubbles are a problem.
Hi nice beautiful soul, you are so lovely and you give tons of peace to all of us. thanks for this beautiful tutorial. I’m doing a inspire Lemax Xmas village house project and I’m wondering if I can use air dry clay instead of the paper clay not sure if it is the same or not or should I just use this paper clay you make? I have air dry clay but not sure if it will stick to the cardboard ( the structure of the house I made it ok cardboard) or if the air dry clay will eventually crack. I’m so confused Once again thank you and your videos makes me happy. Hola from Spain !!!!
Hi Jasson. I'm sorry it took so long to reply. The air dry clay recipe is not as sticky as the paper mache clay, so I'd recommend using the pm clay for a thin first layer, and then use the air dry clay for the second layer and details. I hope you're having fun with it. 😀
Have you ever used acrylic gel medium for smoothing? It has little to no shrinkage and is very smooth. It comes in various weights and shine qualities. It is water based and can be painted over. I have used it to fill in little places on things that are not paper mache but am will try it on one.
I have not tried that. I think I bought some awhile back, but I can't remember what I used it for. Is it easy to get it smooth without a lot of brush marks?
😊 See all my patterns for paper mache masks and sculptures here: www.ultimatepapermache.com/patterns
I just used this method to smooth the horns on the Minotaur I'm working on. I spread the joint compound thinly with a knife and let it dry. I was in a hurry, so then I took it outside and used a sanding sponge to smooth it down. A lightly damp sponge works, and doesn't make a mess - but it does take a little longer.

Wow, I am learning so much from you, thank you.
Happy to hear that! 😄
Thanks grandma ❤️ you the best
Really love your passion for mache. I enjoy creating stuff ad well. Im off to Walmart to get Drywall compound. Thanks for the tip. Hugs
I so enjoyed this I am always trying to get my paper mache clay smooth for doll faces but with no luck. I certainly will try this !
Have you tried using the air dry clay recipe? It's the same ingredients, but less paper and a little cornstarch to make it smoother. ruclips.net/video/T9lOY1xNslw/видео.html
You are the loveliest
Thank you for sharing these helpful videos
Want you to know that you have subscribers from all part of the word in my case Iran
I love your videos! Very helpful tips. Your creatures are wonderful. 💕
Thank you so much! 😊
Outstanding video! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing tips. 🙌🙌🙌
You're welcome. 😄
Yes, I’m starting my kids costumes and my daughter wants to be Alien Predator 😬
I love a challenge but I’m going to have to watch a lot of this lady’s videos. Nice and talented woman! I’m so glad she made a channel.
Are you making Halloween costumes already? You are a lot more organized than I am! 😄
Ultimate Paper Mache yes! I have to start early because they take a while. I’m learning from your videos how to construct the head of the alien (it will be constructed on top of a bike helmet). I am making this costume: 😬

Omgg i am loving your channel, your tutorials are just soo helpful, and your sculptures are so awesome! 💖💖
I wanna buy your book but im Brazilian :,,D
I wonder why Amazon doesn't have a store in Brazil. It seems strange, doesn't it? Your local bookstore might be able to order one for you.
Thank you so the ideas. I think this will work well on my project. I'm making a wreck it ralph building pinata.
Interesting - I hope you're having fun with it! 😀
Thank you! Appreciate it. My only questions is with the joint compound, I’m sure you’re right that it’s harder/stiffer. But is it more likely to chip?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I've never seen it chip when used on a sculpture. But if you use it on something that's really flexible, or that is used roughly, you might want to use some other way to make your paper mache smooth.
I've been customizing cars since I was a teenager. One of the most difficult things is casting a mold for fiberglass pieces. There's so many ways I've seen on RUclips (Styrofoam with Epoxy resin, clay, expansion foam etc). But sometimes you don't want to say, pull the whole dashboard out of a car just for a couple of custom panels... I think I'm going to try this method... I haven't done this since kindergarten lol. I try casting the walls in my trunk 1st... Just in case I do something wrong. I won't have to explain to everyone why I have paste on my speedometer 😂... Oh and btw. The cake spreader ... If anyone wants to use something different. Your local parts store sales spreaders used in bodywork repair. They're like the cake spreader but without the handle.... It's easier (if) air bubbles are a problem.
Great tip on the tools - and I hope you'll let us know how your experiments turn out! :)
You have such a unique and creative style of making dolls and puppets
Thanks. 😊
Thank you for your videos. Very helpful.
Hi nice beautiful soul, you are so lovely and you give tons of peace to all of us. thanks for this beautiful tutorial. I’m doing a inspire Lemax Xmas village house project and I’m wondering if I can use air dry clay instead of the paper clay not sure if it is the same or not or should I just use this paper clay you make? I have air dry clay but not sure if it will stick to the cardboard ( the structure of the house I made it ok cardboard) or if the air dry clay will eventually crack. I’m so confused Once again thank you and your videos makes me happy. Hola from Spain !!!!
Hi Jasson. I'm sorry it took so long to reply. The air dry clay recipe is not as sticky as the paper mache clay, so I'd recommend using the pm clay for a thin first layer, and then use the air dry clay for the second layer and details. I hope you're having fun with it. 😀
@@UltimatePaperMache perfect and thank you so much for taking your time to reply. Have a wonderful weekend:)
Have you ever used acrylic gel medium for smoothing? It has little to no shrinkage and is very smooth. It comes in various weights and shine qualities. It is water based and can be painted over. I have used it to fill in little places on things that are not paper mache but am will try it on one.
I have not tried that. I think I bought some awhile back, but I can't remember what I used it for. Is it easy to get it smooth without a lot of brush marks?
Great video! Thank you. Can’t wait to try this.
😊
This is a great idea!
