😊 This was a fun, easy project - but I could have made Winnie the Pooh faster if I'd done a little planning in advance. But it's fun to just start out and figure things out as you go, as long as you're not making a 'serious' sculpture.
This one will be sent to the newest member of our family, along with the classic edition of Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milne. If you haven't read it recently, you can find it on Amazon.com here: amzn.to/3OUQOfy
If you make a lot of paper mache armatures with crumpled paper and masking tape, you might want to try the "Kitchen Stickin’® Tape Dispenser." I made the mistake of replacing the nice tape it came with, and using cheaper masking tape instead. My masking tape didn't stick as well - but it still went a lot faster than pulling it off the roll by hand. You can find the dispenser on amazon.com here: amzn.to/3uOzy4T
And you can also find my book "Make Animal Sculptures with Paper Mache Clay on amazon.com here: amzn.to/4bOEzLq
(Those are all affiliate links, of course. 😊)
You can find the recipe for cooked flour and water paste here: youtu.be/K0w82bQcnMU
The video showing how to put paper strips and paste on an armature: youtu.be/sjllW9Xpkow
And if you'd like to see a written tutorial about making the paper mache Winnie the Pooh, along with some screenshots, you can find it here: ultimatepapermache.com/pooh-bear
Have fun

![Self-Published Authors - Has Your Book Been Stolen? [Pirated Books On Amazon]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ugSa5BdII3o/mqdefault.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:
