For anyone that doesn't have the clay, you can do the base in strips of paper mache (flour, water, scrap paper). Recipe for wheatpaste (glue): Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a pot on the stove, add a tablespoon of white vinegar (acidity stops mold). In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of cold (or room temperature) water and 1/2 cup of flour and whisk until no lumps. Then pour your cold flour mixture into the pot of boiling water and whisk. Once you see the flour go from white to somewhat translucent, turn off the burner and remove from heat to cool. It only takes 30 seconds to a minute. Once cooled, dip and coat your strips of paper, squeegee off excess glue sliding the strip between your fingers. Overlap the strips, do a few layers. You can also scrunch pieces up or twist them to add detail like a nose, and then smooth it out with tiny torn strips of paper over that. Separating the water like this (cold + boiled) assures that the flour will not stick and burn to the bottom of your pan. Heating flour causes the gluten to activate which makes it sticky. You can add less flour, 1/4 cup will still be sticky enough, but will be more watery, so i find it's longer to dry your project. Some people add a little sugar to make it even more sticky, but it's unnecessary. Also, adding vinegar is not necessary if you don't have it, but it does make the glue a little more like plastic and the glue will keep for a couple extra days rather than going bad almost overnight. Refrigerate to keep longer. You can use a teaspoon of salt for the same reason, but i find it dries out my hands. Cheers & happy sculpting!
@@ReallyMimi the biggest reason i share this recipe where i can is because so many crafters and artists, in all their different recipes these days, seem not to know (or pass on) about activating the flour's gluten with heat to bring about it's natural stickiness. My recommendation.. Set aside just an hour that you're determined to be creative with paper mache..let it turn into more... Halloween time is the best time. I love sculpting with paper! These vintage pumpkins are just the cutest!
@@xmobile.I do prefer the white glue recipe anymore vs the flour. It seems to be ultimately more stable and easy to batch mix and use for months. Can also be used as a base for paper clay.
Aiden, I'm so glad your video popped up on RUclips! I've been wanting to make these vintage containers. I also didn't know I could use air dry clay. Best of all, you are quite an artist and so good at teaching!😊❤ ❤ ❤
WOW! These are amazing! I love the vintage style. I was around, as a kid, in the 1970s and they really reminded me of the decorations back then. My favorite is the cat. 🎉❤
You are so artistic. I wouldn't have thought of using a common balloon to create a surface for coloring awesome Halloween designs. You are by far my favorite channel and I look forward to your show every time my subscription Belk rings. You're the best!😊
I really enjoyed watching this. You have a great voice for narration, calm but still expressive. If I hadn't watched you make these, I'd think they were genuine vintage items. So cute!
You are so easy to follow, and such a soothing voice. Love the pace, not too fast and not too slow. You are a natural teacher… I am now subscribed and will probably binge watch 😅
I've never done these with clay, I've made them with papier mache. These are BEAUTIFUL, you are EXTREMELY talented. Edit: I normally super speed up a lot of tutorials because once I understand the concept, I want it to move on. Your speeding this up and doing a voice over was perfect for me and my ADHD brain.
I’m OBSESSED!!! Anything vintage Halloween gets me like a bird with something shiny…I gotta get at it! I’ve never tried anything like this but the way you painted those is TRULY AMAZING. Got a new subscriber 🎃
I have watched a lot of crafting/art tutorials, live, recorded, and in person-cause that is the way it used to be and I'm old (not a bad word). This sir Aiden is the best tutorial I have ever participated in. I feel like I could now go do this myself. Now, I wish you could make videos for the workplace.
Aiden, you are adorable and quite a talented artist. I love your tutorial and being someone who bleeds orange and black, I simply must give these buckets a go. Thank you so much for sharing your art and your processes.
These are by far the best vintage Halloween buckets I’ve EVER seen created! You have incredible talent and I’m so grateful you shared this. I’m also super jealous! I wish you much success and happiness in everything you do. 🎃
Another way to build the structure is to use papier mâche, it might be a little easier to layer on and the newspaper helps really strengthen it👍🏼your project is super cute!
Love your art style!! These vintage buckets look absolutely amazing, I would snatch these up so quick in a store. Also, love your vibe. Happy Halloween! 🎃
Thanks Aiden, You are so talented! I love the vintage halloween buckets, but they can be pricey. Now I have the inspiration to make my own! ❤❤💕 Your painting skills are AMAZING!
Aidan you are awesome... very cute buckets! Love them. 🎃 I was so bummed when I found your channel and saw that you hadn't posted in forever and then literally a couple weeks later you came back and started posting again! Please keep it up, love your channel's content! ❤
I'm delighted your video popped up in my recommended viewing list. Your creations are impressive. You certainly are a talented artist. You are very easy to listen to and your instructions are clear. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing craftsmanship.
I love this clay. No one works with this anymore, but I have done many projects that are more than a decade old, and they do not have a single crack or chip. It gives a less smooth texture, but I love the vintage look and that is exactly what it gives me. Cannot beat the price either.
I love your passion Aiden. This takes me back to crafts when I was in elementary school in the 60s. My Bday is a week before Halloween & it's my favorite holiday. Great project...🎃✌️
You are so talented. The faces are absolutely mysterious. They have a definite personality. Thank you for doing this video. I think I’m going to try it. Wish me luck. 😂
You are a very talented young man, and you did so good putting this together. I was shocked when you said it was your first time. You explained the process like an old pro, so I am looking forward to your next project. Those look like some that my great grandmother made from paper mache when she was young, around 1875/1900. Your's are absolutely the best I have seen, and they each had a different personalities. You behaved like you just gave birth to triplets. They were each your very favorite one. There is the saying: You will never work a day in your life, if you love what you do. You are going to have a good future ahead of you if this is how you want to spend your life. I am a 73 y/o great grandmother now, and this is the first time I have seen these made. I'm a fan!
I am going to make some of these post haste! Loved your tutorial and can't wait to check out your folk art collection. So happy to find your channel Aiden! The creative Force is strong with you...Just subscribed!
You are very talented. You have inspired me. Im always looking at new techniques and decor. Your painting skills are crazy good!. I subscribed. Can't wait to see more!
This was such an amazing video! Can you tell me how you created the texture for the moon bucket? You should do LOTS of tutorials. You're perfectly suited for this format.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😍Amazing..New Sub, I think we are kindred spirits..So glad you popped up on my feed...love love love these vintage buckets, the process and that clay..I must try! You nailed this and they are masterpieces. I think I would have a hard time seeing them off to new homes and would definitely want to keep them all..😅 I'd like to say.. don't worry bout the tutorial video. You did a great job. I still have tons of bumps a year later. But it's a learning process for me. I am a Miniaturist and I began as a DIY Crafter crossed over to miniatures and apply alot of those skills to my minis. I have made miniature creepy vintage masks in the past, but would love to try these buckets in miniature form. Thank you so much for sharing.You are so talented and I loved this video so much I am going to share it with my viewers on my community tab! I cant wait to explore your channel! ❤🥰❤️
From one artist to another I have to say I’m just floored. Your style is fantastic. I’m impressed by the way that you create their facial expressions. Those are hard for me. Your moon person is SO neat.
Excellent video I really really love this. I think I’m gonna do this with my besties the first weekend of October. I think that will be a fantastic project for us to kick off Halloween. Great instruction I love your video.
I’m so glad your videos popped up in my feed! You are a pleasure to watch, your voice is so kind and encouraging. You are so good in your tutorial that I almost fell off the couch when you said it was your first one. Please don’t stop, it was fun to watch you create these beauties. They remind me of my last job where we sold items like this, and they were always the best sellers. My favorite is the moon face, but they are all super fantastic! I subscribed right away. ❤
Hey Aiden, You, sir, are as adorable as your cute folk art creations! I can't wait to view more of your work and learn about your process from your videos. I love how the dry-brushing looks.
