Making paper mache
24 Answers
Got to knock up a 'bird' outfit for my daughters school play. I thought about inflating a balloon and wrapping it in paper mache to do for the head.
Whats the best glue to use for the paper mached? I thought about a sachet of wallpaper paste - would that be ok?

Use PVA available almost everywhere, might need to dilute it a bit with water, say 50%. Paper based cat litter makes good papier mache, my wife won gold and 1st place for a mask made from cat litter at the New Fores Show.
