If you support your armature with wire, and then wrap it with crumpled paper and tape to fill out the form, the armature should stand up on it's own. (I suggest you try very thin rebar if your wire doesn't feel quite strong enough.) Then the clay will be added to the armature. Ally, you’ll need an armature under the paper mache.

I found all of your directions for how to make the Clay and Paste, I just wonder how I'm going to keep the sculpture supported. Would wire inside the clay work? Jonni,

Use really big pieces of paper on the bottom layer so the pieces don't slip through the holes. For waterproofing, a lot of people use spar (marine) varnish with good results.

I grew up in a small and beautiful spanish city by the sea. I graduated in arts and since then I researched my options on various media. I experienced the sculpture, Illustration and printmaking, always seeking warm feelings on my artwork. I was looking for new materials to experience, eco, clean at work and cheap. Some months ago I find your fantastic tutorial about paper mache clay receipe. I really apreciate you sharing this video and tutorials.

You might want to read the labels before deciding. You can leave out the boiled linseed oil, which has the most chemicals, or substitute glycerine. I think you might want to consider using the paper strips and paste, instead. However, I do think the clay would be easier and less messy - but if anyone in the class might get their hands in the clay or even eat it, that would not be good. Have you seen the idea of making pumpkins over a plastic bag that has been stuffed with paper or more plastic bags, and then a piece of twine is wrapped around the bag to make the indentations that go around the pumpkin? That might actually be easier for the kids (it is for me, too) than using balloons. Laurie showed us how they look when they're done in <a href="http://ultimatepapermache.com/cheap-art/paper-mache-halloween-pumpkins-and-a-centaur">a guest post, here</a>.

I was going to pre-make the clay for them. Do you think that it woud be easy for them to use? I planned to use a balloon as the form, would the clay stick or would we have to use a base of paper strips? I really appreciate you sharing the recipe.

If you live outside the US, the clay materials may be called something other than the product names used here. The guys at your local hardware store might be able to help. Some areas of the world don't use the products in their construction industry, so the recipe isn't useful for everyone. If you can't find the products, I suggest you stick with the paper strips and paste. Be sure to check the <a href="http://ultimatepapermache.com/tutorials">paper mache tutorials page</a> for ideas about how to make your dog. Hi Stella.
