PAPER MACHE
2 parts water

2 Tbsp. salt
Newspaper strips

Use forms to create desired shape. Dip newspaper strips in paste and cover
form completely. Allow project to air dry for several days. May be painted with
tempera paint, decorated with colored tissue paper, or any other way you can
think of!
PROJECTS:
Use molds and forms you have around
the house to make fun animals, flowers, insects, or anything else you can think
of! Fill with candy to make a pinata. Use masking tape to piece
together the parts of your creation while you apply the paper mache.
