But you might be able to use the<a href="http://ultimatepapermache.com/paper-mache-clay"> paper mache clay recip</a>e with your molds, instead. It takes a bit of work to get a nice smooth finish, but you might want to try it. Then you wouldn't have to make new molds - but I can't guarantee that it will work, because I haven't tried it.

I already have plastic molds and wanted to know if you have tried that or know if it would work? I am also hopeing to reuse them if possible. Thanks! Great work by the way.

Sadly, the Liquiche is sometimes difficult to find. Someone told me there was a fire in their factory last year, and it held up production. But if you can find it, it's a great product when used with plaster molds. Thanks, Nicole. Sadly, the Liquiche is sometimes difficult to find.

The pourable paper mache product needs to be used in plaster molds. The product is intended (I think) to replace porcelain in the making of dolls, and it hardens when the water is sucked out of the product into the plaster. You can use regular, home-made paper mache in plastic molds, though. Just make sure to use a release so it doesn't stick. Some people put in a layer of wet newsprint first, with no paste, to make sure it will come out when it dries. If you try making something in a mold, let us know, OK? We'd love to see it. And you might want to watch <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3FtWTUCT-c" rel="nofollow">this video</a> of large figures being made on plaster molds - it's quite involved, but does show the potential of this material in sculptures of all kinds.

Thanks for visiting me over at Surfside Serenity. Your paper mache is much different than what I will be making with the children at school. Even so you are so right it will be quite the process. I'm sure I'll be covered in paste by the end of the afternoon. I don't mind though as I love messy projects. Thanks for the step by step instructions you have shared for your ornaments. Maybe I'll give it a try over winter vacation. Peace! Hi Jonni! Thanks for visiting me over at Surfside Serenity.
