Dry papier-mâché can smell bad due to the materials used in its creation, particularly if glue or paste is involved. Some adhesives, especially those that are water-based or contain certain solvents, can emit unpleasant odors as they dry. Additionally, any organic materials, like paper, can develop a musty smell if they were damp or improperly stored before use. Ensuring good ventilation during the drying process can help mitigate these odors.

Then when it's dry paint it in your desired colours and what not :)
