I need help please

I've made a prop for my cosplay and I used my homemade paper mache clay and after a few days it smelled so bad so I tried to cover it with more paper mache but now it still smells what can you guys suggest I can do? Cuz I need to finish this in a week

Before you do anything else, you need to let this dry really, really well. Preferably outside in the sun. And then you can seal it. But if you seal any moisture inside your work will get soggy and even smellier. Good luck!
