WOW, what a reaction to the paper sculpture on the Neutral Bay episode!. As I said before my gorgeous assistant Alex whipped this together as we couldn’t find the perfect textural piece for the room. It was the talk of the interior on the day so no wonder it has been the talk on my Blog, Facebook & Twitter!!
Alex taking a 'shaded' lunch break on a shoot we were doing the other day.
Alex has written the instructions for you to follow yourself and give it a go. If it is too much for you she is doing them herself to purchase at a price of $235.00 plus delivery.If you are wanting one made, contact us at [email protected]
The talking piece of the interior!
I am hoping all of you who give it a go will post it on my Facebook page to see how great they look!!!
Ok – here we go!!!
PAPER SCULPTURE
What you need
1 x piece of A3 Foam core (can be bigger or small depending on how big you want the
sculpture to be)
A compass or large dinner plate
1 x Stanley knife or scalpel
1 x Pack of A4 sheets of white paper
1 x Pot of Clag or PVA glue
1 x small piece of thick cardboard (about 8cm long and 1.5cm high)
1 x Staple Gun
Instructions
1. Take compass or dinner plate and draw/ trace a circle onto the foam core.
2. Using stanley knife or scalpel, carefully cut around the line you have just drawn.
3. Place the small piece of cardboard on the back of the circle about 15cm from the top
and glue down into position. Secure each end with staple gun. This will be where you
hang it from
4. Next start by rolling the paper into trumpet like shapes and glue them together. Be
adventurous- roll full paper sheets, tear the edges of some using only half paper sheets
etc etc
5. When you have a few made up start from the edge of the circle and work your way into
the middle of the circle gluing down each trumpet as you go. Dont be scared to overlap!!
Keep going until all areas of the foam core cant be seen.
6. When you are happy with the end product, let it dry for at least 48hrs before hanging.
Then it will be ready to go!
