For the Sunshine & Rainbows Swap I decided to try my hand at making a paper mache sun with a little rainbow heart for my partner, @kittykill . I love the look of paper mache creations and there was a Domestika course I’d just bought… So I took a leap and I love the end result. There’s a wire hanger on the back so it can be hung. The finished piece is around 7x7".
Process pics!
My initial sketch
After transferring to foam core, I cut out two versions (the top one with the heart removed).
Then I glued them together and used masking tape on the edges.
Next it was time for paper mache!
Ready to paint

This turned out great! What a cute way to decorate a space.
This is so cute! I love the recessed heart and how it contrasts with the raised cheeks.

Super cute! I love the texture of papier-mâché, so dimensional & funky. This is really cheerful and sweet.
