Paper Mache Clay Recipe Without Flour

The pattern for my giraffe should be online next week (fingers crossed). Subscribe to my channel if you'd like to be notified when it comes out.

Some of the other choppers I looked at are less expensive, but they have fewer blades than the Ninja, so I don't know if they'd work as well. Of course, it's possible that they work better - but I can't buy them all to find out. If you have a different brand, let us know if it works or not.

This recipe should work well for folks who live in areas with lots of critters who are attracted to the flour in the original recipe. Suzan also says that she has some old paper mache clay from last year, still damp in the bowl, and there's no mold.

If you have any ideas for future experiments or projects, let me know in the comments below.

I was more than thrilled to see your video. I'm an older woman who lives alone and am bored with painting watercolor. Your video really inspired me to try paper mache. Again I thank you.

Dear Jonni, I loved doing paper mache when I was a kid. I stumbled upon your site and was immediately captivated by your wonderful creations as well as your very generous sharing of ideas, recipes and methods. Suddenly my old passion for paper mache has been reawakened and I can’t wait to get started on my first project in over forty years! Thank you for the inspiration.

Sad person that I am, I am very critical of much, that finds its way onto Youtube. I always say, 'if a job us worth doing, its worth doing well'. But we get people who speak in the most unattractive and appallingly unintelligible way, with badly placed mics, background noise, etc. They just love the sound of their own voices, and get to their point halfway through the video! Thankfully, there are indeed some very professional videos. Many are inspirational, and leave you wanting more. This is one of them. Great! Thank you ma'am!!

Those Ninjas are fantastic for making paper pulp! I bought mine about a year ago. I fill it with paper and hot water and let it soak for a while. Then chop everything up to a pulp. Ring the water out using an old t-shirt. Then put the dry pulp back in the ninja for a final chop. You end up with a parmigiana like texture.

Beautiful work !💖
In my country ( Venezuela)
People use cornstarch to make the paper mache and it makes the mix smooth also 💖

My high school art teacher introduced us to papier-mâché and we used Sta-flo the blue laundry starch bottle. My project from 20 years ago is still going strong! Look at the ingredients says it used corn other may include rice- both doesn’t affect gluten sensitivity; however, wheat is sometimes used as well so idk about the gluten aspect.

Thanks honey pie! You're so sweet. Now my suggestion:
2/3 C drywall joint compound
2/3 C school glue
2/3 C shredded white junk mail
Works for me.

I went to your site and watched all of your videos but just following you but i'm in 4th grade and i have a project and I have to make a Djembe drum and it helped me a lot thank you for helping me I got a 100 and again thank you so much

[jamesgonzo]

i have not seen your videos in forever, I need to get back to sculpting. Your works have inspired me, flour does NOT attract bugs and mice IF you SEAL your piece with clear spray like I do. It makes me wonder if folks even SEAL the

I let the paper dry completely in small chunks.Then powder them in small batches in a coffee grinder. It's a long process. I like what you did here a lot better. Thanks!

[Rosecitycrafterdarylhallfan]

Oooh, I will be trying this new method. Thanks for sharing. Veronica

[marlenajacklin]

Thank you!! I have a question if that is ok. I used to do pottery, but I enjoyed the handwork the most. I covered baloons with very thinstrips of clay, and use a knive to smooth it the clay. It came out very thin and light. I was wondering how the papermashe would work with the glue in there. I used to love making masks. So you can imagine how excited I was to learn this recipe!! Thank you again.
