There are many different ways to do paper-maché. In most cases
you start with a shape (plastic mold, balloon, ...), lots of newspaper,
and the mixture.
Recipes
Recipe 1 - Mix equal parts of white glue and water.
Recipe 2 - Mix equal parts of white flour and water.
Add more water if it is too thick.
Recipe 1 is easy for small projects. Recipe 2 works and is much less
expensive for large projects (like volcanoes or piñatas)
The next step is to tear the newspaper (or tissue paper, paper towel,
kleenex, or even toilet paper) into strips. Put some strips
into the mixture to soak. Then apply them to the shape. Keep
adding layers until your shape is covered. Then let dry at least
over night.
Hints
Use wax paper as a work surface. Most paper mache won't stick
to it.
Clean up spills fairly quickly. Once they are dry, they are
much harder to clean.
Don't soak all the strips at one time. About 4-6 is enough.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap if you need to work on the
project over 2-3 days.
Use a balloon for your shape. The paper mache can be used to
create all kinds of shapes (coiled snake, dog's head, or even a computer
screen). Leave a small section bare while it is drying. When
dry, pop the balloon and remove the pieces. Put the goodies inside
the piñata, and cover the hole with more paper mache. When it's dry,
use paint to decorate it.
This piñata was made from a large balloon. Rolls of newspaper
were soaked in the paper mache mixture, then coiled around the
balloon. A small balloon was added for the head. The round
shape of the balloon was painted gray, as if the snake was coiled around
a rock.
Put the mask form on a piece of large piece of wax paper. Using
the recipe above, apply the layers
of paper mache to the mask. Use smaller strips of paper when making smaller
objects like the mask. When dry, remove the mask and paint.
Use cardboard to add interesting shapes and features to the
mask. It could be a nose like a bird beak, out the frame around
the head in the Egyptian Death Mask.
Cut out the cardboard into the shape you want. Hold or tape the
cardboard in place while you lay strips across the join between the mask
and the feature. Don't run the strips along the edge of the
joint.
