diy: paper mache kitty cat

Began by cutting out a rough shape for the body, legs and head. Added junk mail magazines to pad out the body and build the form up, attaching with masking tape. Once basic form is ok begin adding layers of paper and paper mache paste or watered down glue. Allow to fully dry every few layers. From there you can stop and paint, or continue on with a paper mache clay. I used a thin rough layer of paper mache clay, it was a sticky, lumpy and terrible recipe but dried hard. Once that dried completely I went back over it all with a smoother recipe of clay. After the clay was completely dry and hard I sealed it with a wood sealer and acrylic paint.
