How do you make paper mache planets?

You first get a square of cardboard as big as you like I recommend 30cm by 30cm and then get a kitchen towel tube and stick it in the middle of the cardboard with tape (to get the middle of the square draw straight lines from corner to corner were the middle of the cross is that will be the middle). Then cut strips of newspaper. When you have done that mix half and half of flour and water. Then scrunch up balls of newspaper and tape them around the kitchen towel tube until it takes shape (put 1 over the hole of the tube). When that's done paste your mixture all on your mountain then place one or two layers of newspaper strips every layer you put on leave it to dry over night. When your happy with the amount of layer you have put on and its all dry paint it. Optional for extra detail you can put on fake grass at the bottom. If you want to make it shiny put one layer of pva glue around the mountain and there you go you have got a Model of Mount Olympus.

How do you make a ball out of paper mache?

Probably the best way to make a paper mache ball is to first plan what size of ball you wish and what kind of frame you will use to shape it. Many like to use balloons which can be popped after the paper mache has dried, leaving a shell. Balloons however are rarely perfectly round and so others use wire frames, styrofoam, old sports balls - basically anything round that won't be missed!

The best way to get some ideas is to go to "Goggle Image Search" and type "Paper mache ball" and a plethora of ornaments and works will reveal themselves to you. Some links below are some variations worth perusing.

How do you make a cup phone?

When you are talking into the cup, keep the string tight so the person that is listening can hear.

How do you make a book cover out of a brown paper bag?

Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: A few minutes Here's How:

  1. Cut open a brown paper shopping bag. Remove the flap formed by the bottom of the bag so that you have one large sheet of brown paper.
  2. Place the book in the center of the paper.
  3. Wrap the paper up across the bottom of the book and make a crease along the bottom cover.
  4. Repeat Step 3 for the top of the book.
  5. Remove the book from the paper.
  6. Fold the paper up at the bottom crease and down at the top crease. You should have a strip of paper big enough to cover the book from top to bottom.
  7. Place the book back in the center of the paper. Wrap the paper across the front of the book from left to right and adjust the book position until the two ends of the paper are even.
  8. Fold the overlap around the front cover of the book and make a crease. Then insert the front cover of the book into the slot created by the paper folded over at the top and the bottom. Slide the paper down over the book until you hit the crease.
  9. Repeat Step 8 for the back cover of the book.
  10. If the cover fits snugly, you can stop at this point. If it seems a little loose or the top and bottom folds are not lying flat, you can use small pieces of tape to pull the front and the inside flap together a little more securely.
Tips:
  1. If your supermarket no longer offers paper bags, buy a roll of the brown paper designed for wrapping parcels and use that instead. Cut a piece long enough to cover the front, back and spine of the book with at least three inches of overlap at either end.
  2. Do not tape the paper cover to the actual cover of the book; the paper cover will move a little when the book opens, and you could damage the book cover.
  3. If your child likes and the teacher allows, decorate the cover with drawings or stickers.
What You Need:
  • Textbooks
  • Paper bags or a roll of brown parcel paper
  • Scissors
  • Tape
