Introduction: Paper Mache Kero-chan
The definitive instructable on how to turn 2 dimensional fantasy into 3 dimensional reality, or the manner in which a rabid fangirl devotes herself to a beloved anime.
Step 1: Fiddly Part Which Requires Copious Squinting and Use of Imagination
Toilet roll, egg carton, tea bag box and newspaper fused together with masking tape create a raw third dimensional impression of my picture book reference. This is sad that this is my only memorabilia of the anime series.
Step 2: The Mess, But Undeniably Satisfying Mess
Lovely, grimy, messy newspaper is coaxed into a mouldable medium through the magical qualities of a concoction comprised merely of flour and water.
Step 3: Rendering of Coat
A soft paper towel finish makes Kero-chan look irresistibly cuddly.
Step 4: Plastering Stage
Liberally applied, a thick coat of white industrial house paint completes the form- don't underestimate cheap paint, says Jackson Pollock.
Step 5: Painting
My basic school bought acrylics...
Step 6: Pokemon Caught!
...and a generous dosing of gloss encase the creature in a sleep eternal.

i did choose a warm yellow paint, rather than a cool yellow-- but also the light is a bit warm here too, so he looks a tad orange. his whole tail is white?
Reply 13 years ago on Introduction
well, only the fluff on his tail is white.

Some type of wood varnish gloss I found in the garage~ but I guess you could just use glue.

Nice instructable- very clear. But I think you mean "rabid fangirl", not "rapid". :)
