Paper Mache'
Newspaper
old nylon stockings
1/4 cup dry wallpaper paste
1 cup water
Tear newspaper into small pieces until you have
about 4 cups. Soak the paper in a bowl of
water overnight.
The next day, place the paper into a nylon stocking and squeeze out the excess moisture. Remove the paper and place it in a bowl.
In another bowl, mix the wallpaper paste with a cup of water. Stir until smooth. Pour a little of the paste over the paper and work it in with your hands. Add a little paste at a time until the paper feels like wet clay.
Dry your projects at room temperature for several days.
