Will paper mache stick to tape?
technically, yes. wallpaper paste will do. all you do is mix the powder with water and stir. voila! you have paper mache glue. just apply the glue to the paper (newspaper will do) very carefully, don't use too much. hope it helped!
How do you make paper sculpture?
To make wood gas (which is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) you heat wood chips in an container where there is little or no oxygen to the point where they blacken and give off their gas.
To do this (in a safe place outside) put an old metal kettle on a camping gas stove, fill it with dry sawdust and put on the lid. Turn on the stove gas and after a time fumes will come out of the kettle spout (these fumes will burn if ignited). The fumes are wood gas and soot particles (to make pure wood gas the soot needs to be removed).
It is possible to run a car on wood gas.
What type of glue to use on felt?
I would probably use spray adhesive. It holds well and does not bleed through like liquid glue would. It grabs on contact so you can not reposition the cloth once it is put down.
I personally would use a mechanical fixing alone (screw) or avoid doing it altogether especially if the material is exposed to the elements (you do not mention). The reason being is the thermal expansion of the two materials will be at different rates and stretching and warping may ensue.
UV rays and heat from the sun may also damage the glue over time.

poor children worked
wealthy children went to the theatre or played and dabbed on jeff
How do you build a doll house out of cardboard?
First, you will need a cardboard box. This box can be a shoe box, a small box, or a medium sized box. I prefer a shoe box, but the decision is up to you. Next, you can use pieces of things around the house and make stairs, elevators, pools, beds, closets, and even bathrooms! Finally, you can put everything together and after that you can play in your new doll house. I hope you will love playing in your new home made doll house! :)
Happy lady!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you make the color red with out red or pink?
Red is a primary color and cannot be made from other colors.
Red is no longer a primary color. Magenta has replaced it, and cyan has replaced blue. Many more colors can be made with magenta, yellow, and cyan. Mix magenta and yellow to make red.
What type of paint is best used for painting on plastic tupperware containers?
I don't know how envolved you want to get but, your problem is the plastic will flex and the paint will chip and peel, you need two (2) things, a bonding agent (to make the paint stick to the plastic) and a flex agent (to make the paint stretch). you can get these at a automotive paint store. Its a little envolved but I have never had a problem with peeling or chipping paint on plastic. NOTE: Car bumpers are painted this way. OOP'S, Enamel paint is just fine

A Rangoli Is A Pattern That Has To Be Symatrical Otherwise It's Not A Rangoli Pattern
Once fired and hardened neither polymer clays (Fimo, Sculpey) or natural clays are biodegradable, as witness the many pottery remains still solid after thousands of years.
Crayons are made of paraffin wax and pigment. The wax is hot when the pigment is added and mixed. Then the mixture is poured into crayon molds and cooled.
Why clay cracks when it dries?
pottery pieces crack during drying because the clay shrinks too fast and unevenly. If drying is controlled by wrapping pieces in plastic and allowing them to dry slowly, they won't crack usually.
What would be a great science experiment for an 11 year old in a 5th grade science fair?
1-You could see what balloon would float longer, Milar or Latex (is that how you spell them?).
2- You could put a hard boiled egg (with outside layer still on)in soda to see what soda does to your teeth. Leave it in.Then use a toothbrush and toothpaste to clean it.
3- You could put ice cubes and different liquids to see in what liquid would it melt fastest in.
4- You could put out three colors of dyed bird seed in cups, and see what birds are attracted to by seeing which one is the least filled.
5- You could see what kind of soil and plant would grow faster in.
6- You could use three eye spy pages, one in black and white, and one in color. have a person look at one for 30 seconds, and then list as many things as possible that they remember in the picture. Then have them do the same with the other.
Okay, I hope this helped! Also, if you don't like any of these ideas, you could always go to these websites.
