How do you make homemade paiper Mache glue??

Question

I REAAALLLYY BAAADDLYY NEED AN ANSWER!!, i thought i had glue for this but i dont & it needs to be done by wednesday

Answer 1

I agree with bubbles, but with me, i would just omit the sugar. My formula, is an economic one.

1/2 cup cornstarch

1quart water

combine water and cornstarch together in a saucepan. bring to boil, keep stirring until lumpy pudding smooth. then let it cool down before using.  You can get a box of cornstarch for about $1 to $1.50 Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

Don't use flour and water. Flour is a food product and can spoil. I usually use Elmers glue all and mix it with water. I don't usually go 50/50. I use a little less water than that because I like it a little thicker myself. But it dries clear and the paper mache is hard and durable.

Good luck.  I love paper mache!

Answer 3

I use craft glue, but not full strength.  I thin it down, about 50/50, with water.

Answer 4

Yeah I used to use cornstarch and water and boiled them together until I got a thick consistency :o

Answer 5

It could be flour and water.

Answer 6

Follow the info from 'Bubbles', but, add strips of paper to the mixture to begin with.

Answer 7

smooth, light paste that's easy to work with. To make it, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 2 cups cold water in a bowl. Add this mixture to a saucepan of 2 cups boiling water and bring it to a boil again. Remove from the heat and stir in 3 tablespoons of sugar. Let it cool; it will thicken as it cools. Once it does, it's ready to use.
