Paper mache is a great art form for kids to learn.<\/p>\n<p>Paper mache is also a great project for teaching kids to recycle old newspapers and magazines for their art projects. This can be a fun activity to do with kids because it is something that they can do themselves with little help from you.<\/p>\n<p>Paper mache paper can be used in all kinds of paper mache projects from sculptures to masks and more. Paper mache paper is made by soaking delicate tissue paper in a thin papermache paste made from flour, water, and glue.<\/p>\n<p>You can buy supplies for making papermache paste at craft stores, but it&#8217;s also easy to make your own paste at home using only three ingredients: flour, water, and white school glue. To make papermache paste: combine 2 cups of all purpose flour with 1 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of white school glue (or 1 tablespoon if you are using Elmer&#8217;s glue). Mix thoroughly until the mixture has the consistency of pancake batter or cream gravy. If the mixture seems too dry add more water while if it seems too wet add flour until it has the right consistency.<\/p>\n<p>Paper mache is a craft where you make things out of paper and glue. People have used it for a long time to make all sorts of things, from models to masks.<\/p>\n<p>Paper mache is quite popular as an inexpensive way to make masks and sculptures. It can be used to create shapes that are hard or impossible to do with more traditional earthen clay.<\/p>\n<p>Paper mache is easy to use and comes in a variety of textures, thicknesses and colors. But it has two distinct disadvantages. First, it&#8217;s really very messy to work with, requiring a lot of water and glue and thus creating a royal mess in the process. Second, paper mache gives off poisonous fumes while it dries.<\/p>\n<p>The solution is making your own custom paper mache paste using cornstarch instead of white flour. Cornstarch is much safer than flour, but it still produces fumes as it dries, so you may want to work outdoors or in a well-ventilated area if possible.<\/p>\n<p>Paper mache is a great way to create custom art that is all your own. With paper mache, you can make almost any shape you want, and then paint it any color, or add other materials to make it stand out more.<\/p>\n<p>Paper mache is an ancient technique. The main idea behind paper mache is that you can make a sculpture out of many layers of paper and glue. Each layer has glue on one side, and the layers are stacked so that the glue sticks them together. Then you put a coat of plaster on the outside, which binds with the glue inside. The result is a hard, durable shell on the outside but with a soft sculpted look on the inside.<\/p>\n<p>With paper mache, there are two main things to keep in mind: 1) layering and 2) drying time. You will want to apply as many layers as possible without making the object too heavy; this means using thin or light-weight paper for most of your layers. You also want to give each layer plenty of time to dry before putting on the next one. If you rush this process and don&#8217;t allow enough drying time between layers, your sculpture may warp or fall apart later on in the process.*<\/p>\n<p>To get started with your project, choose<iframe width=\"100%\"\" height=300vh src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3rqWjIkxMeM?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paper mache is an ancient art form, its history dating back to antiquity.
