1 Build Your Armature
Begin by wading up recycle newspaper into a ball, using masking tape to shape your bag of newspaper into a Stuart head. Slide your ball into a plastic bag and begin adding features.

Rudolph Nose
Wade up newspaper and cover with masking tape. Tape your nose to the edge of your goggle.

1st Session
Cover the Rudolph Stuart with 3 to 4 layers of newspaper soaked in paper mache paste. Lay your paper flat onto your Stuart armature and work out all air bubbles. As you continue to apply layers of paper your Stuart will begin to take shape before your eyes.
Once you have covered your Stuart with paper mache they must completely dry before adding more wet paper mache.
2nd Session
Paper Mache: Cover with 8 to 9 more layers of paper mache all at one time. Let it completely dry before moving on to paint. After each session of paper mache your armature must completely dry before moving to your next step.
If you need once the big Stuart has dried you can lightly sand with sandpaper and wipe off before painting.
3. Paint Your Rudolph Stuart
Paint a white coat of primer paint on your Minion ornament to give a white canvas for painting onto. We use white flat interior house paint from the Family Dollar to prime our sculptures.
Once the base coat as dried paint with acrylics anyway you like. Let all you painting completely dry before sealing with varnish.
4. Varnish and Protect
You must seal your paper mache pieces with varnish for protection. Varnish comes in a can in gloss or stain to apply with a brush or spray can apply 3 to 4 coats and let it dry.
Follow the instructions on your varnish to apply. We use Polycrylic Minwax at the studio to seal all our art.
5. Hanger and Ribbon
Add a hanger attachment for a ribbon and hang onto your Christmas tree.

All together how long would you say it takes to make this? My little grandson loves them and I was thinking of making one for him for Christmas to send him! Also I always used glue and water instead of the flower and water b/c of mold. That's what I was always told was the best! Love the video! Thank's for sharing this!

+Southern Angel Btq. Tammy Dameron (Southern Angels Boutique) probably invested 3 to 4 days of work and mostly dry time. I know your grandson will love to have it and his minion will be so unique. Have a Merry Christmas.
