How to make a paper glue doll - master class
See what you need. In the photo you can see a purchased paper-glue. This was invented by the Japanese. It contains papier-mâché, clay and volcanic ash. But if there is no way to buy such a mass, then make it yourself according to the previous recipe.
- Take the wire and form the frame of the future doll from paperglue from it.
- For convenience, use a suitable stand, you can take one where you need to put pens for writing. Screw the blanks for the legs onto such bases. Now take some foil and wrap your creation with this material. and then you need a sheet synthetic winterizer.
- Wrap the doll with it and generously grease it with PVA glue. At this stage, give the doll the necessary position, since after the glue dries, it will be very problematic and almost impossible to do this.
- The paper-glue layer does not fit very well on the synthetic winterizer. Therefore, you will also wrap the base of the doll with paper duct tape. This is done only when the glue is dry. Usually, for this, the doll is left overnight or for a day.
- Next, for this doll, you need to make palms from paper glue. To do this, also take a wire, first create palms from it on the leg. Now cut 5 pieces of wire, form the base of the fingers from them and attach them to the round palms.
Fix small parts on larger ones with thin wire. Then you can anchor them better to the base.
Now cover these wire blanks with paper glue. Stick the end of this wire into a piece of Styrofoam to allow the mass to dry.
In the same way, you can create the lower legs along with the shoes.

Take PVA glue and generously coat your creation with this compound. Now the doll has become smoother, then you can start painting it. To do this, take acrylic paints. If you want your creation to shine, then you can varnish it. But this is undesirable, since after drying, a film forms on the surface, and the doll will be too glossy. But if you wish, do this work too.
Now take the pieces of the dry palms. Use a wire to attach them to the base of your arms. In the same way, you will secure the legs. Sand the junction of the parts, cover with paper glue and let it dry.
