This is what worked for me, and I hope it helps you, too!
You'll Need:
- newspaper
- scissors
- flexible mold (I used a very small plastic pot)
- water
- tacky glue (it's non-toxic & kid safe)
- mixing pot (I used a 1 gallon flower pot)
- plastic spoon, for mixing glue & water
Please Note: I am new, but trying to be eco-friendly. If you know of a specific publication that uses soy-based newspaper ink, & biodegradable glue - go for it! And let me know which products you use that are inexpensive & eco-friendly! :D
Post-Publish-Edit: THANK YOU! to the editor who decided to feature this How To! :D

I put a bottle of room temp water in this 1g pot, plenty of room to dip - it will only fill 2-3" due to the "self-watering" design. I didn't use that much glue, just a good squirt - enough to make the water milky when mixed.*
*I've noticed some people have over-complicated with running/hot water and specific ratios of water to glue - this way was much simpler.
