Paper Mache

[turtle2778]

Hey im wondering about using paper mache. Never have dont know anything about it. I have looked at other creations and was amazed. Can you use a mold for your project and then cut around it and glue it back together? Are their other ways besides paper and glue...anyone got any easy projects to try it out on? thanks

Here's a link to a project on my site using paper mache. I've recently had trouble with the mache coming loose from the duct tape. On props 2 to 3 years old. The only way I can think of beating this problum is to glue large pieces of paper over the tape. A good inch or more larger than the tape so it will stay put.
