Your work is unbelievably awesome!!! I am working on my Lion King characters for a play, and all your tips are more than helpful. I really appreciate this tutorial. Thank you for sharing your work.
Thanks. I may find a wall for Scar, although I have a concrete lion next to my front door, and a paper mache lion on my studio wall. But one can never have enough lions. :)
I just buy the kind that's sold for putting around tables for Hawaiian-themed parties. I don't know if it's 'stiff' exactly, but it looks like the mane on my lions. For some reason, every time I orders some from Amazon, even from the same exact sales page, the raffia I get is always a little different. Some of it is softer than others. I don't know why that happens.
Yes, but without the dye. Other people have come up with some really interesting ways to make the manes. You can see them if you scroll down past the videos on this page: www.ultimatepapermache.com/lionking
I bought some two different kinds, from the same listing on amazon, and they were different - but it really didn't matter. They worked just fine. I did discover that the shorter version, called the Tiki bar raffia, works well because you don't have to cut off so much for a lion's mane. This is the listing for the short raffia that I bought from: amzn.to/3l38AN9
@@UltimatePaperMache Thank you so much. I scoured Amazon and found a table skirt with good reviews and bought that. I use it for dollhouse sized baskets for collectors. The new stuff is definitely an improvement on what I had and it's about twice as much raffia so I'm pleased. Now to play with the new dye I bought. I was glad to see your pretty simple method. I was seeing instructions that said to boil the water and leave the grass soaking for an hour. I think raffia would fall apart if I did that.
I'm currently working on a moose, but it's been a real challenge. My cardboard doesn't seem to like his subtle rounded shapes, but I'll win in the end. I do already have a jackrabbit head, a deer head, a fox and a wolf mask pattern. You can find them all here: www.ultimatepapermache.com/patterns Thanks for asking! 😊

Thank you so much for sharing. You are amazing. Can you tell me where I can buy the "stiff" raffia?

Good job I like 👍 it
I'm glad 😊
Thank you for another fun and informative video! I hope to do some paper mache this summer!
Keep the mane like that.
For mufasa head you used the mane same as you dipped scars mane.

That's nice looking rafia. Any chance you remember the brand name? I see a lot on Amazon but some of the reviews aren't great.

Have you ever done a pattern for a Bison? (Buffalo). Or any Native American patterns? You are so talented!😆

Oh, I like the dark color of the raffia on scar NO, don't cut it. It looks awesome like it is!😄
Thanks - I did leave it on, and I think he looks great, too. 😊
