Introduction: Surrounding Streets Papier-mache Bangle
This is a good way to repurpose the paper maps that you come home with after travel. Even though I use Google maps a lot I like the free colourful maps to give a good overview of a place. The bangle is a great souvenir while minimising waste.
Supplies
travel map
cardboard (toilet paper roll?)
pva glue and saucer and water
sticky tape
newspaper
wash cloth (hands get pretty sticky)
Step 1: Rip
Rip up the newspaper, I used about 1 1/2 tabloid pages
Rip or cut the cardboard, I used the sticky tape to shape the bangle rather than staples (original idea) as I want to wear them through security at the airport.
Step 2: Glue
Mix glue and water about 50/50
Dip the newspaper into the glue and around the cardboard shape
I alternate shorter shapes with long pieces
Step 3: Wait
Take a couple of breaks to let the layers dry (I do 2 or 3 layers before a break).
Step 4: More Ripping and Gluing
Rip up the map
