    You can use paper pulp for this. White paper or mix some acrylic paint. Cement and sand mixture .

    Cement and sand mixture is strong enough to last longer. Houses are made from this mixture. Paper pulp, I think papier mache artists are using some type of sealant for their outside sculpture . I don't know what is available in your place. Search for the sealant in the net. Or use paper pulp as base then use cement and sand mixture as an outer layer. It is definitely a cheaper version with paper. You can get old news paper for free. For paper use carpenters glue. It is very strong.

    I have no suggestions Pooja, but I have to say that it looks beautiful. Hope you do find an alternate technique and when done, do post it here for us to appreciate.
