DIY papier marché animal heads: making a bear

Hello everyone, welcome back!
I hope that all of you have had a pleasant change of the year.
I filmed the process of me making a papier marche bear head and made it into this video.
Making this, I didn't follow a certain set techique but followed my intuition, working with the materials that I could find around my house, namely: newspaper, painters tape, thin carton, eggboxes, flour, glue, acryllic paint and varnish.
Now the bear can hang next to the fox on my wall (you can find pictures of the fox on my Instagram, link below), but in the future I hope to add even more animals to that!

Hopefully you'll find watching the video as much fun as I found making the bear! And let me know if you would like to see more papier marche animal video's.

If you have any questions about the making process you can ask me in the comments :)

Have a lovely day!

Hi! I’m Erika,
a young woman who loves creating things out of various materials. I like to reuse and repurpose materials and items and feel inspired by the beauty and calmness of nature in my creative process.
I often get asked how I make the things that I make (from drawings to home decor to food). This made me come to the idea to film the process and put it on youtube.
I would like to inspire people to create, no matter what skill level they’re at; use the materials that they can find around them and get creative! But for those who don’t feel like creating I hope this channel might be a quiet place where they can hide from the busy world for a few minutes.
I hope that you end up finding what you look for in my content!
Have a lovely day!
