Making a Giant Donut out of Papier Mache

Описание: Everyone shut up!
We’re making a Giant Donut
The size of a bowl
The inside the size of a masking tape hole.

Take brown paper and using the wrist
Scrunch up the paper and give it a twist
Coil it into a donut shape
Hold it down with masking tape.

Look we’ve made an armature,
A framework for stability and structure.
That’s right it’s called an armature,
Armature, armature, armature.

But masking tape unfortunately is not very strong,
When it’s hot or soggy it comes undone.
So around the armature, wrap the gum strip.
Until you see no masking tape.

Wet the tape…

Hold the sponge and pull the tape.
Hold the sponge and pull the tape.
Hold the sponge and pull the tape.
Hold the sponge and pull the tape.

Hold and mould
Hold and mould
Hold and mould
Hold and mould
Hold and mould
Hold and mould


Mix PVA with water,
Tear the tissue paper,
Dip it, Don’t flick, don’t lick.
Make the Papier Mache stick

Papier mache, means ‘Paper chewed’ in French.
Good Papier Mache should be damp and not drenched.
It’s stronger when it’s overlapped with smooth texture
The more layers we add the better

Rip it, dip it, strip the drips and stick it
Rip it, dip it, strip the drips and stick it
Rip it, dip it, strip the drips and stick it
Rip it, dip it, strip the drips and stick it

In layers!
Layers!
Layers!

In layers!
Layers!
Layers!

And paint.

Everyone shut up!
We’re making a Giant Donut

And now for the icing on the cake
The glazing on the donut
Marbled, with sugar, drizzled, sprinkles
It’s called embellishment, adding decorative details.

In a bowl add PVA
with white, with a colour,
With acrylic to beef it up

Stir it with a spoon
So the concoction is thoroughly mixed.
Put it to one side
Then get your donut

The concoction will be carefully poured
Over the donut in a circular motion.

Let it go, let it go, can’t hold it back anymore,
Let it go, let it go, spoon on any missed bits,

Drip and Zig-zag paint on top
For the marbling effect.
Then Sprinkle on the beads until it is encrusted
Covered with a hard coating.

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake the pot, shake the pot, shake the pot

And now for the icing on the cake,
The glazing on the donut.
