  • This step-by-tutorial is accompanied by a FREE paper template to make your own paper maché dragon. Some might call it “faux taxidermy”, but I consider it a wall-mounted sculpture or bust. This is a beginner-friendly DIY paper maché sculpture that has tonnes of potential for more experienced artists to build upon and make their own.
    As a bonus, you can put a secret hiding compartment inside your dragon, so that your sculpture can guard your treasure!

    I've been using acrylic medium in place of white glue. It is terrific.

      Oh that sounds really cool! Maybe shrink the template a little so it doesn't take up too much room in your suitcase! 😜

      @janesawyermakes it's true!! I think most just need a jumping off spot, which you totally provide!! I love that you show different options and encourage people to make it their own.

    Wow. For sure you did a good job. Actually you did a super awesome job of sharing an incredible dragon. Did you use iridescent paint as the dragon glowed with greatness. Definitely interested in more dragons.

    • @janesawyermakes
      @janesawyermakes  5 месяцев назад

      "Glowed with greatness" 🤪I like that! No, I didn't use any iridescent paint, but I have some Dragonfly Glaze I should def try on the next one!

  • @erinhallmakes777
    @erinhallmakes777 4 месяца назад

    I'd love to see you turn this into a unicorn because I really want to make a large unicorn bust for my front hallway. Also if I were to make a dragon probably I would blow it up to be a bit bigger but is there a way to mount it on the wall without the base plate?

    • @janesawyermakes
      @janesawyermakes  4 месяца назад

      So I already have turned it into a unicorn, I just haven't shared that. If you don't want the mounting plaque, you could trim it to the outside of the neck. It might be harder to balance though.

    • @janesawyermakes
      @janesawyermakes  4 месяца назад

      I'll try to post a short with more info on the unicorn within the next few days.

    • @janesawyermakes
      @janesawyermakes  5 месяцев назад +1

      The paint and glue should protect the sculpture from light humidity. If it's REALLY humid where you live, try an outdoor polycrylic. You should try not to get these sculptures very wet. 😊
