Step 3Paper mache mini-instructable
This instructable requires a fair bit of paper maché, so here's how I made it. Feel free to use your own recipe.
1. Half-fill a plastic chinese take-away container with warm water.
2. Pour in some PVA glue (the more the better, I only used a small amount).
3. Here I added some plaster of paris. After a while I realised that the plaster does more harm than good. Don't use too much.
4. Flour. Lots of flour. Not too much, but enough to get a fairly thick mixture.
5. Dip a strip of newspaper in the mixture (I found that newspaper tends to rip one way much neater than the other)
6. Use two fingers to squeeze off excess mixture back into the container
7. Apply the strip
