Papier Mache is a craft medium which uses the simplest of ingredients available. It is inexpensive, durable and lightweight. This makes it suitable for puppets, masks, dolls, theatrical props and carnival decorations. In the last century, papier mache industries produced the most exquisite lacquered objects such as boxes and trays, and even large pieces of furniture. This book teaches two methods of papier mache: the use of paper pulp (either homemade or commercially bought) and pasted strips (used to cover a mould). The other materials are everyday items including Polyfilla, gloss paint, sticky tape, plastic bags, starch and clear varnish. Standard modelling and DIY tools are used, and techniques are simplicity itself, making this the perfect craft for children and adults alike.
