How many of us find it difficult to get that perfect plaster of Paris mixture? But...liquid papier mâché is a quicker, easier and cheaper way to do it. So, let's begin!
Take an old plastic bowl you won't ever need again - unless you're planning to make more papier mâché!
Rip up the newspaper and put them into the bowl.
Pour enough water so that it covers all of the paper and just a bit more.
Put this in a cupboard and leave it overnight. When you get back to it, it should be a sloppy mix of water and tiny paper fibres.
Drain out the water and make a mix of glue and water.
Pour the glue and water in the bowl and leave it out in the sun until half the liquid evaporates.
Slop the mix around in the bowl, stir it and pour it into your molds.
Leave this in the sun for as long as it takes for it to dry.
Carefully take out the dried papier mâché and paint it.
Finished.
