To make this paper mache paste, you need 1 part flour to about 5 parts water. Start out by putting 4 parts water into a pot on the stove and bring it to a boil. While you are waiting for it to boil, mix 1 part flour to 1 part warm water. Beat this mixture briskly to remove lumps. Once your pot of water is boiling, slowly stir in the water and flour mixture. Mix well and let it boil for 2 - 3 minutes. It should be smooth and have the constancy of thick glue. If necessary, you can add more water or flour in small amounts until you get the desired consistency.

Why is paper mache a good material?

Paper-mache is biodegradable, meaning that it will decompose and have no negative impacts on the environment. Other than that property, paper mache does not seem to be in any other way helpful to the environment, as it is aesthetically displeasing to look at, and is not a strong building material nor a reliable one, as it "melts" in water like cardboard.

Can you cut paper mache?

Absolutely! Make sure you have a sturdy pair of scissors and determine first if you are cutting through anything like wire or some other framework that was used to keep the paper mache solid - you don't want to ruin the scissor blades by cutting metal mesh! Depending on the thickness of the paper mache, you may choose to use heavy duty hobby shears or even metal cutters for maximum ease and efficiency.


How do you make crayon shaped paper mache?

I would use a paper towel tube. I would make a cone shape with a piece of cardboard (maybe from a cereal box). This cone would be on top to make the tip of the crayon. Paper Mache over it and then decorate. i would by some card stock to make a crayon wrapper (and probably print out a crayola logo for the wrapper) Mod Podge would be good to use on the label.

How do you make a body from paper mâché?

First of all...I really hope this is a project. But since you asked, the paper mache is easy. You need glue, paper(newspaper), and water. Then you mix, and then you should have the paper mache part done. Then how do you form the body? Good question. Well it really depends on the structures, the width, and the length of the body. If you want it to have the same structures like yourself then you need to trace your body on a big piece of cardboard with a marker so you can see the lines. if you need help ask an adult or a friend to trace your body. Then for the structure of your body, the body needs a face right? So get a picture of the person your mache-ing and you know how it works, you give them a nose, eyes, mouth, ears, and then for the hair you take yarn or if you want to be really creepy use real extensions or something like that. So there you have it! If you need any more help with the paper mache, I'm pretty sure they have it online now. Thanks :)
