ActivaCelluClay Instant Paper Mâché, White, 24lb (10.89 kg) Sculpting & Texturing Material for Arts & Crafts 1, 24-Pound

I recently tried my hand at paper mache. After going the usual paste and paper strips route, I wanted some added bulk to my project. This product is easy to use and gave the desired results.

Dried slow in humidity. Might need to add glue

All one must do to understand how easy this stuff is to work with, and how well it sculpts, is to research the topic on the multitude of sculpting, modelling, and diorama building websites. I'll make it easy and just tell you that the majority of modeller's on those sites use CelluClay.The product is very easy to mix. Any suggestion otherwise is completely false. You won't mess it up. I actually use my hands to spare the tool clean-up because the clay almost falls off of bare hands with a quick dip in a nearby shallow bowl of warm water. Obviously, this also means clean-up and masking are a cinch. Water. That's it.Want to smooth the surface of whatever you're sculpting? Dip a finger in water and the surface will smooth nicely. Want to rough up the surface of whatever you're sculpting? Dry a finger on a towel and light tamp.Now you've finished the project and you have leftover clay. Roll it into a ball (less surface area to dry out), put it into a regular zip-lock bag, squeeze the air out, and throw it in the fridge. Come back a week or two later and use it for the next project after letting warm a little and possibly wetting the surface.And with that, you should feel confident in purchasing this product.

I bought this to recreate the eyeball plant from Labyrinth for a themed masquerade party. It worked as I needed it to and created the arms of the plant, which have held long after the party. It was basically easy to mix and a little harder to use, but I was able to make exactly what I was trying to make with it, so I was happy.

This is my second purchase of the 24 lb box size. I discovered Celluclay while searching for a kiln to make clay figurines as a hobby project. I was curious about this paper pulp, so I bought a 5 lb bag at my local craft store - and fell in love with this recycled pulverized paper. After weighing the benefits of free sun dried figurines vs expensive kiln dried clay figurines (plus glazes) It was a no-brainer choice. I have been enjoying creating fun heirlooms for my children, friends and family with Celluclay . It is easy to work with, dries hard as a rock and is easy to paint with acrylics. The gray celluclay is a bit creamier in texture than the white but both are great products either way. I have been posting my creations for the world to see on my facebook page - if Amazon lets you see them - enjoy - and give this stuff a try yourself. Fun for warm summer outdoor craft projects especially. [...]

This is an edited review. In my original post, I described it like this: "a super convenient, effective, and reasonably priced mache mix. It's a little dusty when you prepare it, so probably not for the youngest hands; and it's probably worth experimenting with applications and drying time, to make sure things don't get moldy. But, all in, a welcome addition to the arts and craft shelf!" After trying it in fine detail molds, however, I found it clunky - it stays wet much too long, and it doesn't capture details. As a comparison, I'm finding Amaco's Sculptamold to be a much superior medium, drying nice and hard, and able to keep the details. But if you're simply needing some pulp to slap on without any precision, the CelluClay is conventient.

Very happy with the product, nice quality, and would happy to purchase from again!

It was easy and fun to use

Modélisme

Grandson loved it but I did not get a chance to build with him.Only thing I'd say is the shipping sticker was stuck directly onto the boxI could not get all glue off of box

I use this stuff for everything. Easy to use, great for modelling and moulding. Takes a while to dry is the only downside, but just be patient and you'll have great results.

I really like it.

I love this product in the past ive used newspaper and made it myself but then it eventually molds and ruins my work - this was easy to use and u can create the consistency you want and it molds easy to any surface i used it on steel dish
