Paper Mâché TARDIS


I have seen many "make your own TARDIS" tutorials but all of them took to long (I have like no patience) so I made my own.
This is the perfect "rainy day" project, I made the whole thing and I didn't have to leave my house to buy supplies

Paper Mâché

• make strips of newspaper
•dip the strips in the mixture, when you take them out push the access mix off of the strip -you will get messy

Painting



( I didn't take pictures off this so bear with me)
•first put one or two coats of white paint (this is optional but I feel like it will make your tardis last longer)
•next a coat of blue paint
• pencil in the squares, windows, and doors. When you like how they look, paint them in.( I put the template up there for the front and the side)
• paint the spool blue and yellow (or white) and glue it on top
