@@darrellwakelam5597 Will do! Thank you again.
Amazing tutorial! Thank you so much! ♥
My pleasure.
Wow, that’s brilliant! 😊 Thank you so so much!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 🙂
The best idea I am trying right now
Great, have fun. I didn't paint my version as the tissue paper I used worked fine but you can obviously paint off whatever paper you use to 'mache' over the model. Good luck
Wow that is amazing it really helped out on my Wednesday costume for a party!!
Great, hope you had fun 😃
Thank you sosoososososoosoo much
I am going in my bestfriends party as Wednesday and this helped me soooooooo much🤩💜💜
Great, have fun. 🖐😁
Amazing work! I just don't get the last bit, did you cover the fingers with the same paper you used to hold the fingers? And what did you paint it with? Can I use any acrylic paint? Thank you! :)
Hi there, I’ve used the same cheap ‘natural’ tissue paper to mache the whole of this with watered down PVA. I haven’t painted mine but you can use whatever paint you like as any will adhere to the tissue, water-based or acrylic is fine. Have fun. x
@@darrellwakelam5597 yay, thanks! I'll give it a try 😁
Love this ❤
Thanks, works well doesn't it. 😊
does just normal sellotape work instead of masking tape?
it would yes, it would stick stuff together fine, the issue comes when you 'cover' it over. Sellotape is obviously plastic, so if you add a layer of tissue paper over the top like I have you'd have to make sure the PVA was strong enough to stick the tissue to the plastic, trial and error, should work though. 👍
Me watching this be like whoa that guy is zooming
What did you put over foil paper, paint??
mine was just the 'natural' tissue paper colour, but as its just paper, when its dry you could paint with pretty much any paints you choose, water-based or acrylics.
New subscriber!
What did you use to paint the hand?
Hi there, I haven't on mine, it's just the colour of the 'natural' tissue paper that's been pasted on, but as it's paper you could paint with any paint you liked, water-based or acrylic. 😀
Hi is there a printable demo for this its so cool
Hi I'm afraid not, this was a bit of a one off project. 😊
I'm going to make that! It's so simple and turns and that it looks so difficult but it isnt in my musical I have to play Wednesday so tysm for doing this idee
No problem, I hope you have a lot of fun.

You are very creative!
Thanks 🙂
Which tissue paper did u use
Hi there, this is just natural unbleached tissue paper, the kind used for packaging or from florists suppliers. I use this a lot as it's cheaper and it is also a nice neutral colour. 🙂
Thank you
