To make paper mache using wallpaper paste, follow these simple steps:
Prepare the wallpaper paste according to the instructions on the package. Usually, you mix the powder with water and stir until it thickens into a smooth, lump-free consistency.
Tear paper into strips. You can use newspaper, old magazines, or any thin paper. Make sure the strips are roughly 1–2 inches wide.
Dip the paper strips into the wallpaper paste, making sure they are fully coated. Gently remove any excess paste by running the strip between your fingers.
Apply the strips onto your mold or structure (like a balloon, wire frame, or cardboard base), smoothing them down as you go to remove air bubbles.
Layer the strips, slightly overlapping each piece. Add 2–3 layers for strength.
Let it dry completely between layers or after the final layer. This might take 24–48 hours depending on thickness and humidity.
Once dry, you can paint and decorate your paper mache project as you like!
