Join Naomi Clark in making a mantel sculpture.
1. Gather old boxes and recyclable pantry items. Look for interesting shapes and combinations.
2. Use a hot glue gun to stick the items together.
3. Apply a thin layer of gesso or white acrylic paint to the entire form.
4. Cover the sculpture in papier mache or plaster strips and let dry.
5. Time to paint! I like to choose a couple colors to start with and expand for there. Most importantly have fun!
