She mentioned there was this weird soft rubber lion model at her work that they didn&#8217;t need and I told her I could paint bones on it for her so she could use it as a prop for her costume. But when she brought it home I saw it had these deep grooves all over it to imply a fur texture, and I knew it would be basically impossible to paint nice clean lines over it for the bones. So I did a couple layers of paper mach\u00e9 over the whole thing, and then painted it; easy! <a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/my-paper-mache-method\/\">See my post about my paper mach\u00e9 process here.<\/a> Because the scale is much smaller here than for my usualy big skull masks and other projects, I did the paper mach\u00e9 a little different; I started with my usual alternating layers of newspaper and brown wrapping paper (just one layer each), and then I added a final layer of tissue paper to get the surface as smooth as possible. Then I spray painted it black and painted the bones on with white acrylic and a brush. Fun!<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/paper-mache-lion-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/paper-mache-lion-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width: 49%; float: left; margin-bottom: 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/paper-mache-lion-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manningkrull.com\/manningmakesstuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/paper-mache-lion-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width: 49%; float: right; margin-bottom: 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I made (or modified, really) this little paper mach\u00e9 skeleton lion prop for my fianc\u00e9e&#8217;s skeleton lion tamer costume.
