Making a time capsule out of paper mache is easy. Simply create your mixture and cover a box with the paper strips until the paper mache can hold on its own.

Can you cut paper mache?

Absolutely! Make sure you have a sturdy pair of scissors and determine first if you are cutting through anything like wire or some other framework that was used to keep the paper mache solid - you don't want to ruin the scissor blades by cutting metal mesh! Depending on the thickness of the paper mache, you may choose to use heavy duty hobby shears or even metal cutters for maximum ease and efficiency.

How can I create a strong paper mache sculpture that will withstand wear and tear over time?

To create a durable paper mache sculpture, use a mixture of equal parts glue and water for the paste, layer the paper strips evenly, and let each layer dry completely before adding the next. Consider adding a layer of varnish or sealant once the sculpture is complete to protect it from wear and tear over time.

How do you make a great white shark out of paper mache?

Paper mache, when wet, can be pasted onto most anything. The best way to make any animal is to first design a skeleton, or a frame upon which you can plaster the paper mache strips. You can do this by either making a wire frame (tight frames are best, like chicken wire or old screens, as the wet paper mache will sag in-between the wires if the mesh is too open), gluing together boxes or styrofoam, small pipes, blocks of wood (careful, big projects can get heavy fast if you use wood!) or whatever you have at hand. Be creative! Careful on what you select; think about how much it weighs, whether the frame will absorb the paper mache's moisture and collapse, and whether the paper mache will adhere to the frame's surface. Make sure the frame is put together securely, especially if you plan to maneuver or carry your creation; it is heartbreaking to watch your work fall apart because the frame was too flimsy. So, if you wish to make shark, first construct a rough frame in the shape of a shark. This way you can choose the exact size, dimensions and look you desire with zero pressure, in fact, you can even use a picture to inspire you as to what you wish to create. Do not worry if the frame looks rough as you can later add paint and details as you like. Do keep in mind though certain details, like, if you want to inset eyes, make eye sockets, if you want gills, make sure to construct slits in the wire frame, if you want an open mouth make sure not to seal it up! Once the frame is to your liking it's time to apply the paper mache! Go for at least a double coat, more depending on how large your frame is. If you are using paper strips, change the direction you lay them down for each successive coat. Allow the paper mache to dry. Now you can paint! You can use black marbles or beads to capture the great white's soulless eyes, carve stryofoam into jagged teeth and make little scars in the hide with a hobby knife or just paint them on if you wish to simulate a little extra authenticity. Have fun!
