1. Making rice krispie treats
In this lesson, you’ll find out the recipe for making rice krispie treats. This quick and easy recipe is great to use for cake toppers or as an edible replacement for polystyrene. To save time, you can make as many batches as you want at the same time and keep them in an airtight container allowing for months of use!
2. Moulding the bodies
Once we have made our rice krispie treats, the next step is creating the shape of the bodies for our three little monsters.
3. Covering the monsters
It’s very quick and easy covering the body shapes meaning we can swiftly move on to decoration!
4. Working with wafer paper
For Flumpy Lumpy, our first monster, Paul decides to go with wafer paper for covering the body.
5. Adding the arms and ears
In this short lesson, Paul shows you how to make the arms and ears and attach them to the model.
6. Airbrushing
Now it’s time to add some colour to Flumpy Lumpy using the airbrush! Paul shows you how to use an airbrush and mix colours to get the perfect shade.
7. Adding the teeth and eyes
We’re almost done with Flumpy Lumpy, all that’s left to do is add on the eyes and teeth then give him more detail using dust.
8. Basil Prazzle
Now we’re moving on to the next monster, Basil Prazzle! In this lesson, you’ll learn another way to create a fur effect using sugarpaste. This technique takes a lot longer than the wafer paper technique however the results are amazing!
9. Airbrushing
We’ll that took a while, didn’t it? But it was all worth it, now its time to give our monster some colour using the airbrush.
10. Adding the eyes and teeth

Time to get the airbrush out one final time and add some colour to Marvin Munster!

All that’s left for Marvin Munster is to add the eyes and paint on some more detail.
