Directions on how to paper mache if this is your first
time working with this medium.
Materials:
- balloon
- paper mache and strips of newspaper
- I make paper mache with one cup of
flour and 4 cups of water. Boil the paper mache stirring frequently
just long enough for it to thicken... Take off the stove and put in a
separate bowl. Add 4 ice cubes and stir those in
- You can make cold paper mache with equal parts flour and water.
It takes more flour and isn't quite as smooth, but it works just fine.
- dried beans or uncooked rice
- cardboard tube (toilet paper ("TP") roll is best)
- stickers, paint, markers, construction paper, etc to decorate
- glue and masking tape
