How do you make garden sculptures?

Hi everyone, it's been a while!

I was wondering if anyone had made their own garden sculptures/wall decor.
Looking for a foolproof way to make something that is weatherproof and won't crack in winter frosts.

I was thinking maybe pulping my egg boxes and mixing with cement or something. Basically, an outdoor proof papier-mâché type material.

Hiya! I have these, please follow the link as uploading pictures here is a bit of a nightmare, so I gave up ages ago.

The people one is made with cloth dipped in cement/sand mixture, and the other are little clay houses, we are up a mountain, 900+ meters above sea level, weather is bad here, and both were made during covid, and still there if you interested i can tell you how I made them

Its my little facebook group, well trying, anyway you can join to see and leave after if you want :)

Thanks. It won't let me see them on Facebook. But you have given me an idea with the cloth and cement.
