How much paper mache do you have to make to cover half of a gallon jug?
Without getting into complicated calculations based on shrinkage rates and so forth the easy way to estimate how much you will need is just to wrap the jug with strips of the dry paper. Rip the paper into strips (which you will probably do anyway) then wrap it around your jug to as thick as you would like it to be. On the assumption that whatever water or paste you add to make the mache will mostly evaporate you can assume that the paper needed to wrap the jug to the thickness you want, is near enough the amount you should use to make up your papir mache. A bit of water paste will hold the paper strips in place whilst you wrap the jug and then will dissolve into the papier mache when you make it.
