I have a paper maché "parrot-dise" and this tutorial has me pumped to create parrot feathers for my oasis. You're awesome, this is awesome, thanks for the awesomeness!!!
Ma'am, Thank you for the clever ideas, instruction aand clear demonstration! Thank you for being kind-hearted. Your tender heart and cheerful attitude make me want to keep coming back. 🪴
I love working with your paper mache clay recipe! I’ve used it over & over again! Just recently, I made the cherubim for an ark of the covenant reproduction. It worked great!
What a great project! I would love to see it, and so would my blog readers. You can post photos at www.ultimatepapermache.com/daily-sculptors-group-page 😄
What a fantastic idea for a rocking horse!!! I hope you'll share a photo of it on the Daily Sculptors page on my website. I would love to see it, and so would my readers. 😊 www.ultimatepapermache.com/daily-sculptors-group-page
I always love your ideas, projects, and your manner of presentation. My mind always has these little bursts of excitement as I watch and plan how to use your tips and instructions for my future projects. Thanks, Joni, and please keep them coming!
Was looking up attaching feathers to a paper mache and came across this. I might try this instead. I'm making Buckbeak from Harry Potter for Halloween and have used your videos for past projects. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
This might be a good way to approach a project I'm testing out for my students this coming year. We will be making giant flowers for Munchkinland in the Wizard of Oz School Production. I'm wondering if they should be coated on the outside before painting.. Can't wait to experiment. Thanks for your knowledge and inspiration!
HI Lisa. They'll be easier to paint if you give them a coat of gesso or spray primer before painting them. If you use a spray, make sure it's just primer, and not paint+primer, because that will dry too glossy and your paint won't stick to it. I hope you and your students have fun getting ready for the Wizard of Oz - what an exciting project!
Came here from the "Blue Foot Boobie" video. Have you ever used the "Elmer's paper mache powder" ? You mix it with water, stir, let sit for 24 hours, stir again. Non-toxic, easy clean up with soap & water. Made for kids but dries clear & I LOVE it ! 😀 Only draw back is it feels "slimy", but you get used to that. A little goes a long way. I normally soak paper very quickly, then swipe off excess paste by sliding between 2 fingers. It costs about 3 bucks, but makes like 5 quarts if I remember correctly? Occasionally I will find a paper that will "bleed" it's color into the paste, but that is common with paper. I normally have a 'mother ' batch, then pour into smaller containers to do the final paper layer.
I have used the Elmer's paste. In fact, I recommend it for anyone who lives in a very humid environment because it doesn't attract mold like flour and water paste. Great stuff! It does feel a little different, though, and I agree it takes some time to get used to it. 😊
thank you! i loved watching this. do you have a link list for a true beginner with literally no experience, on what to buy? like, what was the glue? what were those strips of paper, were they just like, construction paper? could you do a beginner's buy list? things we should have? i want to get an idea of what to buy before i start digging through more of your videos and get too excited about things i probably won't be able to make i'm glad i found you!
Hi Chippy. You'll need some wire. Use any wire you have on hand, or get some fairly thin wire from the store. Get the cheapest masking tape you can find, in a width that's wide enough for your intended feather. I used copy paper, but newspaper would work, too. And any glue should work. Elmer's should be fine. Have fun with it!
Well gal this just gets better and better, I was wondering how I was going to make my Tarpon fish replica, you have showed in other videos how to make the body form out of cardboard and aluminum foil and how to make paper mache clay , but I was wondering how I was going to make the fins and now using the feather you’ve given me the idea how to make the fins and gills , thank you ! 👍🏼.
Fazia as penas das minhas peças com o próprio papel mache,mas dava muito trabalho para ficar com uma acabamento bonito.Vou tentar dessa forma.Obrigada, Jonni! Vc sempre perfeita!
I am so happy I came across your videos! I am trying to make a large lighter replica and i can’t figure out how the armature should start. Any advice? I’m doing a mini Bic and a zippo replica
Hi there. I’m just curious why you need the tape at all. Can’t just stick paper to paper over the wire or, conversely, why you would need paper over tape if you’re after the thinnest look. Thank you!
Hi Jonni I would like to buy your how to make animal mask book. I am also interested to learn how to draft patterns for a Staffordshire dog. My grandson owns a black one and he is adorable. So I would like to make a mask like him. Julie Australia 🇦🇺
Hi Julie. You can find my mask book here: amzn.to/2obUDmq It is much easier to make a mask with paper mache over a clay form, than to create a pattern first and then make the paper mache mask. When I wrote my book about masks I used a different kind of clay than I use now. I now use WED wet clay because it's a lot less expensive and easier to use. I show how to make a paper mache mask over a clay model in this video: ruclips.net/video/BBqBnrtAwUQ/видео.html My mother had a Stafforshire, and he was a wonderful dog. I don't have any videos with instructions on how to sculpt that beautiful face, but I did find a time-lapse video on RUclips that was fun to watch, even if it doesn't really show how to really do it. You can find it here: ruclips.net/video/B7xtIM0ujYM/видео.html If I was making a mask of a Staffordshire, I'd get as many photos as I could, and start with a cardboard pattern made from a photo taken from the side. Then I'd start adding the rounded shapes with clay, and keep working at it until it looks right.

This is so helpful! I was JUST about to make something with feathers and could not decide how to do it
Let us know how they turn out - you may be the first one to try making something with them. 😄
OMG you are a genius! Your feather tutorials will be amazing on my Hippogriff rocking horse.
What a fantastic idea for a rocking horse!!! I hope you'll share a photo of it on the Daily Sculptors page on my website. I would love to see it, and so would my readers. 😊 www.ultimatepapermache.com/daily-sculptors-group-page

Have you already decided how you'll use your new feathers? I still haven't decided how I'll use mine. 😊
I always look forward to your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time. Your generosity with information is appreciated!
As per usual - the best type of youtube video. Clear, concise and just gets on with it😊 Another super video - thnku!

I think This feathers are also perfect for angel wings ( it's my dream to build angel wings )
Greetings from Portugal 😊🖤
That's a great idea. I'd love to see them when you get them done. 😊
These feathers are fantastic. Wow
Oooh pretty pretty!
Grandma your pretty too😊

I have so many patterns now that they don't all fit - it was hard to make room for the fox - I'm glad you like them. 😄
Thank you for the help with what works.
And what does not.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Amazing! What kind of paper did you use for these feathers?
I just used plain copy paper over the masking tape.
You have a great eye for form! Thanks for showing us your method for making feathers. :)
You are so welcome!
WOW! This would be great for Native American accent art [ puppetry]

I found in your comments that it's just copy paper?? Amazing! I am looking to use this cheap and so accessible method in my classroom. Thank you!
You're welcome - have fun! 😀
That was beautiful, I'm gonna make some for my eagle.
You are a genius, period.
I love you. Amazing ideas.

Such a brilliant idea! thank you for always share your creative thoughts. Love from Hong Kong.
Nice ! Thank you .

Have fun with it! I hope you like your new feathers. 😀
Hi I am wondering if the sheets f oaper are oaper mache, or are they just regular paper? Thank you. I love your videos :)
I think spell-checker mangled your message, but I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. 😀
This is so cool, I like the process and results.
Question: what type of armature do you use for your clay sculptures?
I am so happy I came across your videos! I am trying to make a large lighter replica and i can’t figure out how the armature should start. Any advice? I’m doing a mini Bic and a zippo replica
Can you make the shape using cardboard?
@@UltimatePaperMache Oh yes!! I could for a zippo as that’s more of a square shape but a bic is a bit more rounded.
How very cute, Madame 😊
Thank you! 😊
❤❤❤
😊
❤️
😀
Hello do you have any tips on making the paper mache clay snowy owl armature more round? I am trying to make one. Thank you!
Yes, just pad the armature a little more.
Hi there. I’m just curious why you need the tape at all. Can’t just stick paper to paper over the wire or, conversely, why you would need paper over tape if you’re after the thinnest look. Thank you!
I wanted something that would be stronger, but you could try the tape-less version. Let us know how it works.

No paper mache was used in this video.
