![]() ![]() Spread your paste onto the cardboard armor, covering it thoroughly. Once the mixture is thick and syrupy, scoop out about half of the paste into a separate bowl.ĭump any leftover paste back into your flour bag/container. ![]() Mix in enough flour until it starts to form a paste (you can add it slowly and mix as you go or dump all the flour in at once and start stirring). Take a large mixing bowl (or if you’re only working on small pieces of cardboard like bracers or greaves, a small cereal bowl can work just as well) and fill it about a third full with water. Step 3: Cover your armor with paper mache paste If you are making more than one piece, repeat this process for each piece. Use the tip of a pencil to trace around the template onto the backside of the cardboard, using short straight lines if you are tracing around geometric shapes (like triangles or rhombuses) and curvy arcs for circular or amorphous shapes.Ĭut along these lines with scissors. ![]() Once you have your template, lay it out on a flat surface with the shiny side down (the surface should be clean if possible). Step 2: Trace your template onto the cardboard & cut it out. Make sure that each piece is large enough for two layers of construction paper on either side.įor example, if your armor is approximately 1.5 inches thick, make each piece at least 4 inches long and wide enough to accommodate two pieces of construction paper on either side. Cardboard provides a lot of leeway for creativity.įor example, you can cut the separate pieces out of cardboard pieces bigger than your finished piece to give yourself more room to work with. The most common shapes are geometric, but others include non-euclidean, insectoid, amorphous, spiral, blob-like, etc. You can use any shape or design you want. ![]()
