How to Create a Paper Mache Monster Box

7/22/2014

1 Comment

 
I started by covering a box with a couple of layers of paper mache. Because this box has an attached lid, I made sure not to cover the line that allows it to fold over. After finishing the paper mache, I let it dry over night.

After sketching a bunch of different ideas, I came up with a monster design that would complement the shape of the box and transferred it using a pencil. I then traced my lines carefully using a thin Sharpie.

I covered the box's folding line with a similar colored tape.

Ready to be filled with goodies (I placed the cookies in a zip-lock bag before putting them in)!

The process of covering the box with multiple layers of paper - mache while carefully avoiding the folding line of the attached lid shows great attention to detail in the crafting process.
