(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

How much faster does a crumpled paper fall than a flat sheet show a video?
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.

How do you make a pen holder out of waste materials?
Cover cardboard toilet paper rolls with brightly painted craft sticks. Paint the craft sticks before using craft glue to stick them side-by-side around the edge of the cardboard roll, butting them up to each other so there are no gaps. Hold the sticks in place with a rubber band until the glue has dried. Then remove the rubber bands and decorate the pencil holder further with glued-on buttons, gemstones or stickers. You can either leave the pen holder open at the bottom or, if you'd like to carry it without losing the pens, you could use the cardboard toilet roll as a template to cut a circle of cardboard just big enough to cover the base. Use hot glue from a gun to run a line of glue around the base then press the toilet roll into it before gluing on the craft sticks.

Paper-mache is biodegradable, meaning that it will decompose and have no negative impacts on the environment.

This site gives you instructions on various types of paper cutters,here is an excerpt and the site:
Guillotine paper cutters are extremely dangerous and everyone should be particularly careful when using when using this type of cutter. In 1999 the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) published a booklet specifically discussing guillotine paper cutter safety and created the following directives:
# Guards must be provided to prevent the operator's fingers from contacting the knife or clamp from either the front or rear of the machine. Only one person should be allowed to operate the machine at the one time and where long material is being cut and cannot be adequately supported by the worktable, additional supports should be provided. # A hand-operated guillotine should be made inoperative when not in use either by removal of the handle or by the use of a locking or similar device. # The shear edges of the blades should be maintained in good condition and blade clearance must be adjusted in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendation appropriate to the thickness of the material being cut. # Waste scrap metal provides a hazard for the hands and protective gloves should be worn when the metal is handled. A container should be provided for waste material from the guillotine. * http://officeequipmentblog.factory-express.com/how-to-use-your-paper-cutter-safely/
