Typically you would build the frame out of mdf. Then cover it with sweatshirt material, use a stapler to hold it to the mdf. Cover in resin. Then before the resin dries, cover it with t-shirt material. Again cover it with resin. Allow the resin to harden. Sand resin to smooth finish. You can use ICING its like bondo but much thinner. Sand, prime, paint. Just remember the better the sanding job the better the final finish. It is very time consuming to do this, good luck.
