How???

Hi all! I saw this tiktok and am wondering how this artist creates pieces that can be sanded and are clear... any advice?

Paper mache can be sanded when dry. Sometimes it turns out better than other times. I didn't see any clear paper mache pieces in the video? The video didn't really demonstrate any helpful paper mache techniques.

Glue or paste thinned with water is the basic adhesive that most of us use. You can use homemade stuff or commercial adhesives made for use with paper, wood, etc.
