Ultimate Paper Mache | Adding Paper Strips And Paste to Paper Mache @UltimatePaperMache | Uploaded October 2018 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In this video I show you how to apply paper strips and paste to your paper mache sculpture (or mask, in this case) in a way that will make it as smooth as possible. That way, it will be almost ready to paint as soon as it's dry.
I previously made a video showing you how to make your paper mache sculpture smoother, in case your paper mache doesn't come out exactly the way you want it to. Then I made another one, that's actually better - You can find that video here: youtu.be/Ad2iLa201kA
Although that video shows a sculpture made with paper mache clay, the method works just as well for making paper strips and paste smooth without sanding.

(Or click on the link in the sidebar of my website).
The patterns for the masks and wall art behind me in the video can be found here: UltimatePaperMache.com/patterns
To make your paper mache go on as nicely as possible, follow these main tips:
Use newspaper, because it's a very soft paper that molds itself to the underlying form when it's wet.
Tear the paper instead of cutting it.
If a piece doesn't lay flat, tear it in the right spots so it doesn't wrinkle.
Use small pieces over complex shapes.
And use a knife or your fingers to push the paper onto the form to remove all air bubbles and push the extra paste out from under the paper.

![Self-Published Authors - Has Your Book Been Stolen? [Pirated Books On Amazon]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ugSa5BdII3o/hqdefault.jpg "Self-Published Authors - Has Your Book Been Stolen? [Pirated Books On Amazon]
Yes, its true - there are a lot of pirated books on Amazon.com. The copyright infringement form can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/report/infringement
The form asks if you bought the stolen work to make sure its a pirated work, and I did that the first time. But since then I just say I didnt buy it, because you can tell that its stolen content by using their search inside the book feature.
And they do take the stolen books off their site within a few days of receiving the form. Unfortunately, the bad guys will just put it back on Amazon in a week or two, so you have to keep checking, and filling out the form.
In case youd like to know what the covers of my actual, real books look like, here are the links to them on amazon:
