Papier-mâché, also known as papier-mâché (pap-yay mash-ay) or paper mâché (paper mash-ay), is an easy-to-make hard paper used to cover a variety of surfaces. This form of paper is commonly used in arts and crafts to create various models, fruit bowls, puppets, dolls and more. The surface of the paper is easy to paint, allowing you to add patterns, vibrant colors and interesting designs on the finished product. This article will detail how to make basic paper mache that can be used to make any model you want.
Steps
Prepare to make mache
- Large bowl or container
- Flour, flour/glue for wallpaper or milk glue
- Water
- Sample
- Paint brush
- Newspaper (for pasting – not for cleaning)
- There is no right or wrong rule about paper size. In fact, if you want to increase the rigidity of the model by adding more pieces of paper, you will need paper of many sizes. So feel free to tear the paper.
- Glue mixture: Pour 2 parts milk glue and 1 part water into a bowl. This quantity can be changed to fit the size of the craft. If you are using a stronger glue, 1 part milk glue and 1 part water should suffice.
- Flour Mixture: Combine 1 part flour with 1 part water. Extremely simple!
- For large and elaborate craft projects, you will need to replace the water with milk glue.
- Wallpaper paste : Pour 2 parts wallpaper paste and 1 part water into a bowl. This method is suitable for models that you want to keep for a long time – maybe several years.
- If the mixture is too thin or too thick, simply adjust the ingredients. Add more glue if the mixture is thin or more water if the mixture is thick.
- If you’re using balloons, you can grease them with cooking oil before sticking the paper so that when the paper dries, you can easily remove the balloons.
Create a paper mache model
- If you want to create a shape (such as a face), shape the piece of paper as you want, stick it on the surface, then apply an extra layer to smooth the surface. This can easily create volume, texture, and texture.
- Glue the first layer of paper horizontally, then glue the second layer vertically and so on. This way, you will know where you have glued and help the paper stick more tightly.
- Some suggest that you should paint a white primer first. If you choose to paint a light color on the model, you will need this method (otherwise some paint will come off). However, if you stick the paper over the balloon, don’t cover the top part so that the bubble can be easily removed.
Advice
- Prepare all the materials before starting the implementation.
- Wait for the backing paper to dry completely before painting.
- The paper you use doesn’t have to be long pieces. Any small piece of paper with any shape will work, as long as it makes it easy for you to do it.
- Besides, tearing the paper with rough lines instead of cutting with scissors will make the finished product have a smoother surface.
- Hairspray or polish will make the paper mache waterproof. Only add this step when you have finished painting or finished the model.
- To make the mask, you can cut the circle in half and remove the bubble to get two masks.
- You can stick paper mache on just about anything: picture frames, old CDs, etc.
- If using a water-flour mixture, white flour will make the surface smoother than wheat flour.
- Try using different types of paper instead of newspaper – kitchen towels also work.
- Always apply enough glue to cover the entire surface of the paper you are applying it to, or the paper will come off after it dries.
- To keep your fingers from sticking, you should wear latex gloves.
- Have excess paper ready. It will be very inconvenient if you run out of paper in the process.
Warning
- If making piñata with bubbles, make sure to apply enough layers of paper (at least 3 layers or more) or replace newspaper with thicker paper (like regular white paper) and make sure the paper is completely dry before take out the bubble. Otherwise, the bubble will pull the paper inward and create an indentation when the bubble bursts.
- The glue mixture will be very difficult to clean if it gets stuck on a certain surface. If you’re worried about the glue on the tabletop, you should line some newspaper before you start.
Things you need
- Glue/flour/wallpaper paste
- Water
- Bowl
- Spoon/stirstick
- Newspaper (for gluing surfaces and specimens)
- Sample
- Paint brush
- Cooking oil (optional)
