Great video! Now I have something else for my (your) booklet! Paper is one thing I have plenty of & my shredder will be glad to cut the paper. I really like the look for rustic decor & I'm rustic to the bone. 😊Thanks for sharing your creativity. See you next time. God bless you. 🥰

I bet this paper clay would work in reptile enclosures for adding texture to smooth decor like perches and plain hides if you seal it after it dries. I believe I’ll try it! ☺️💕

Have you seen the videos on how to use foam to form decor for reptiles? I have two boas ❤

@kerseykrewzoo

Жыл бұрын

@@Artzandcatz Oh yes I’ve definitely seen them, along with using plastic Tupperware, air drying clay, etc. I just figured if you’re on a budget and have the ingredients for this on hand, which most of us normally do, then it’d be great to try it. I have lots of paper from my kids being in school so I thought why not try it and see how it goes? I’ll be recycling unneeded paper and creating reptile decor at the same time. You think it’ll be a bad idea even if I seal it really well? I’ve got a large container full of water based sealant that’s for sure safe to use around reptiles. It’s heat resistant as well so no fumes or fire hazards.

doesn't adding vinegar and baking soda negate the effects of both?

I am thinking about using a form of paper clay to build up the front of a mask I plan to wear for Cosplay, to make it flat, because I built it with a nose for comfort, but the final design does not have a visible nose sticking out the front. Will this work for that, and will it dry lightweight and maintain a semi flexible bend, as the material I am using (Some Italian paper mache soft paper, I can’t remember the name of.) dry’s semi flexible?
