Is Papier Mache hard to learn?

Question

I always like taking up new hobbies... and I'm interested in learning papier mache but I've never been familiar with it...

Answer 1

I learned to do this technique in school used  clay as the base and then cut up strips of newspaper , and then glued it!  We were making mannequins, so much fun , after every dried you painted and glazed it! Cheers!!

Answer 2

I've seen that people go about this hobby differently.  The basic method is when you either cut or tear a bunch of newspaper pieces and adhere it to a frame of some sort (usually balloons or wire) with a flour paste mix.  Some use watered down white glue.  What's awesome about this is that you can create any shape you like, paint it and glaze it. ...... nice.

Answer 3

Heck No! Most 3rd Graders know how to do it. -Just ask one of your little Nieces, Nephews, or Cousins- & they'll "walk You through it..." It's a LOT of fun actually... Even an Adult can do it!  :)
