Summer Crafts - Decopatch Papermache Cat
|
|
|
|
Meow! You can purchase paper mache animals in all types and sizes. It is fun and relaxing altering the animal into an unique piece of art. This cat would be a perfect gift for a cat lover and it is so fun to decorate with decopatch paper. Decopatch paper combined with decopatch glue is easy to use, the paper does not tear when wet and the glue does not soak through the paper.

Instructions:
1. Paint the paper mache cat white and let it dry before continuing.
2. Cut the decopatch tissue paper in small 2 inch squares or triangles. The paper does not have to be perfectly cut out. The more irregular, the more interesting.
3. Apply a coat of decopatch glue to a small section of the cat and press the first piece of paper onto the glue. Smoothen the paper with your brush and completely cover the paper with a coat of decopatch glue. Add more glue to the cat next to the first piece you just added and overlap this first piece slightly with a second piece. Apply glue to cover the second piece. Add the next piece in the same manner and continue until the entire cat is covered.
