Papier mache

Papier-mache in French means "torn paper". All the wisdom of papier-mache is pasting some form of soft pieces of paper in several layers. That in itself is not difficult, but requires patience and accuracy. As a result, you can create such wonderful works that you will not regret the time spent.

Workplace
Working with papier mache is most conveniently on a large table. Must Cover the table newspapers or old tablecloth. While working your hands dirty in the adhesive, so they must often wipe a large, dry cloth. What glue to use
Very well suited for such purpose wallpaper adhesive. Dilute it should be, following the directions on the box.
If you do not find wallpaper paste, you can replace it with a paste. Boil it easily.
Dissolve the starch in a little warm water and stir it until thick cream. Continuing to stir, slowly carefully refill hot water until until a clear, very thick liquid, similar to jelly. Allow paste to cool. Paste can be stored for a long time. It is best to cook every time a fresh paste. Pasting form
If you expect that the form that you paste will remain inside the product, brush it with glue. If the form will then extract, it is necessary to lubricate it with petroleum jelly and glue the first layer of paper at him.
Tearing paper hands (in any case not cut with scissors!) Into small pieces, okleyte their entire surface forms.
Coat the first layer of adhesive paper and affix the second layer. To avoid confusion, where a layer, take the second layer of paper of another color.
Thus okleyte form of several layers of paper.
Pieces of paper may be larger, then it will go faster. But in this case, first dip the pieces in a bowl with the glue, let them get wet, and remember in their hands. Only if large pieces of paper tightly cover the mold surface, gathering the folds. Flatten creases carefully by hand.
In this case, the form does not need to pre-lubricate the glue.
Papier-mache can also manufacture of paper pulp. This method extends the capabilities of papier-mache and gives more scope for imagination. What glue to use
