Papercrafts

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.

Origami was brought to the U.S. by a woman named Helen Oppenhiemer who had a love for origami and wanted to share it with people who could also appreciate it.

Oak tag paper (also called oaktag paper) is a thick manila type paper that is used for sewing patterns in garment manufacturing and sewing. The paper comes in various widths sheets or rolls, and is available in different thicknesses. The benefit of using oak tag paper is that the pattern can be traced around (unlike tissue paper patterns), the paper is durable for repeated use, and the paper accepts pattern markings.

The best way to make a dried out marker work again is run in under the water from the sink. Just put a little water on it, not a lot.

Making paper mache masks can be completed in a few steps. First, aluminium foil as long as the subject's face. Fold the measured aluminum foil in half and place over the subject's face and mold it. Next insert waded newspaper inside the curved portion of the aluminum foil mold. Cover the mold with three layers of paper mache letting it dry between applications. Finally, once the mask is dry, paint and decorate the mask.

What kind? Here is how I made a small cardboard Cessna: What you need: cardboard(Works best with regular cereal box type and regular box cardboard doesn't work that good.), Tape or glue, scissors, and a mind set on making an airplane!

Instructions: cut the cardboard in half, and use one half and fold it in half. then, fold each half of the folded half to the fold. then unfold it and make so it is like a square cylinder, and then play with it and make the back smaller than the front(doesn't matter what the front or back is.). then, cut out the wings out of the other half. save some of that half for some other additions(if you have some other cardboard, you don't have to save any of it.). then, tape or glue it to the front, but leaving some space for the engine etc. then, make vertical and horizontal stabilizers(aka back wings and tail fin). then, cut out a sloped place(for the Cockpit window.). then, cut out a piece of cardboard(If you have clear glass for this, great!)for the cockpit "window" and tape it on. then, make a propeller(just a small rectangle out of cardboard if you want, and that's what I did!) and tape or glue it on the front. You're done!(Optional: make some landing gear by cutting out some small cardboard or balsa rectangles(About the size of the propeller)and then cut out some circles, and tape them on however you like!) Glad to help you!

You take cardboard and you build the body of your ship using lots of duct tape. The best I have seen are usually boxes with a slight incline at one end. Careful however, they only last the one use. (I have done this project in school, for more info message me) Actually - the below is wrong - i dont think you can make a "SHIP" out of cardboard its another form of paper so when it gets wet it will sink and you prolly not goin to be able to make a ship maybe if your lucky a boat and that is using other stuff so the cardboard dosent get wet and fall apart next time think things over befor you post them =]

this is commonly miscalled paper mache, its is a constructed material that consist of pieces of paper that is stuck together by wet paste eg. glue startch grease etc.

Other materials that can be used to make a pinata besides newspaper include construction paper and regular paper. Some people will use old magazines to make the pinata.

you can use any kind of paper from note book parer to magazine paper

Absolutely! This is has not been experimented as yet...but in theory: First you need plenty of shredded paper. Soak and stir in a warm water/elmer glue (PVA) solution. (Paper mashe) Stir until becomes nice and soupy. Pour in rubber mould...let throughouly dry---perhaps one month--unless it is baked. If you wish, some PVA glue/water over top to give it a nice finishing gloss!! And have a seat!! **Note, to prevent your new green chair from collapsing I recommend choosing a chair design that can withstand weight--i.e. short legs/ or ottoman style** Your Chair may need some sort of supportive brace--or you can basket weave a spine for it out of newspaper or something.*** Try it and send me the pictures...and if you get to selling them, please give me a cut of the proceeds since I came up with the method. --Danielle Romain

There are many different ways to make paper mache paste. One option is a no-cook option, in which one only has to mix water and flour together. Another option is cooked paper mache paste, in which one has to boil water and stir a water and flour mixture into it. There is also resin paper mache paste, in which water is boiled and a mixture of powdered glue resin, flour, and warm water are mixed into it.

It means 'paper folding', from 'ori' - 'folding', and 'kami' - 'paper'. (kami becomes gami here, some words in Japanese change like this when formed into a compound word)

It's spelled papier-mache, or papier-mâché.

Origami is a traditional Japanese craft that has become famous all over the world. Starting with a single sheet of square colored paper, you can learn to fold all kinds of animals, birds, flowers, boxes, and toys. Origami is a popular pastime, because all it takes is a piece of paper. Everyone knows how to fold a few shapes, like the crane, which is a symbol of peace and long life. Students learn origami at school; it is used to teach concepts in geometry, and how to follow directions.

Rub the wax of a candle over the paper, or use a beeswax leather sealer or similar. Tape or glue that is not soluble in water will also do an ok job

I would say yes, because cardboard material is sturdy enough to hold the rocket in shape and it is flexible enough to curve into a cylindrical shape.

When making a newspaper collage, you need newspaper, scissors, adhesive, and other items to add decoration like ribbons. You also need a paper or cardboard backing for your collage. One way to make a collage is by cutting photos from the newspaper and attaching them to the background board in a design that you choose.

Because there is less surface area on the crumbled piece of paper, there is less area upon which the force of friction (air resistance) may act. There is more surface area on the normal piece of paper, which allows friction to act over a greater area on the paper. More air resistance causes the flat piece to fall slower.

Decoupage is the art of gluing cut-out paper images onto any surface to form a pleasing decorative composition, and then coating the finished product with a varnish or other clear protective coating to preserve the piece. What can be decoupaged? Artists (or "decoupeurs") often decoupage unpainted wooden or papier-mache boxes and even glass plates, but just about anything that doesn't move can be decoupaged. Here are some examples, courtesy of Google Images: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&um=1&sa=1&q=decoupage&aq=f&oq= Here is a basic how-to link (there are many on the internet): http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/decoupage/a/012201a.htm

you just cut a ship from cardboard.
