After waiting way too long to try this, I finally found an easy way to make Paper Mache Clay with the DAP brand of drywall joint compound. It takes slightly more time, because you need to first make some home-made glue.

I show you how to make the glue in the video, but if you'd prefer a written version, you can find it on this post: https://www.ultimatepapermache.com/paper-mache-clay-with-dap

The original paper mache clay recipe - just replace the Elmer's glue with the home-made glue, and at the end add as much flour as you need to get the consistency you want: https://youtu.be/1YQ6eUqcEh8
