Papercrafts

Well, first you want to decide what you want to mache. if you want something like a pinata or mask, then you would start with a balloon. But be creative! A properly sized bowl could be used to make a Halloween costume helmet, some cardboard tubes taped together can become castle turrets. Whatever you can think of, but you usually want to use something that is expendable (if you're completely covering it with mache).

First you have to prepare your craft area. you don't want to get paper mache everywhere, so you should lay out boxing paper or packing paper, or newspaper over your working surface. Then you need to tear up some sort of paper (most people use newspaper) into strips, not too thick, or it won't fold properly over the curves of the balloon (let's imagine we're making a pinata). Also, you don't want the strips too long. they should be about the length of your hand, but it really don't matter, as long as you're not trying to plaster a whole sheet of newspaper onto your balloon

Before we make the paste, you should go put on an old top, just in case you get some on you.

The next step is to create the paper mache mixture. Now, there are a bunch of recipes out there to choose from. Most use flour and water, but the ratios are what is in question. A simple one is a 1:2 part flour water ratio. which mean for every cup of flour, you mix in 2 cups of water. Make sure to mix well to get rid of all the lumps. It should be the consistency of paste, not too thick, but not very runny either. Experiment to find out what works for you.

Now, blow up the balloon to whatever size you want. If you're making a mask, you'd want it to be the size of a head right? That's also a good size for a pinata. So, once the balloon is inflated and tied off, you need to build the rest of the animal onto the balloon so, say we're building a pig. Cut a bit off a toilet roll for the snout and tape it to one end of the balloon cut some ears from cardboard and tape then to the head. four more bits or toilet paper roll for the legs, and we can worry about the tail at the end.

Once you have the basic shape of the animal (or whatever it is you're building), you can start plastering it. Dip the strips of paper in the paste, covering it completely, then, wipe off all the excess paste before putting it onto your balloon This way, you don't get great lumps of mache dripping all over the place. I drag the strip of paper between two fingers, squeezing off the excess. Then place the piece onto the balloon Continue doing that, overlapping the pieces of paper until you have the whole thing covered in one layer. Remember, the trick is so criss-cross the paper, so don't lay the strips all the same way. Mix it up a bit.

It's also best, when working on a balloon to leave the tie point of the balloon exposed, this way, you can have some way to extract the balloon. Also, for a pinata, some way to put in the candy.

Now, leave that layer to dry completely. Overnight or longer. Store the rest of the mache, covered in the fridge. Each layer MUST be dry before putting the next one on, or it will never dry properly and can go mouldy. You can help it along with a hair dryer.

Once it's dry, do the same thing again with another layer of paper. Wait for that to dry as well. Continue doing this until you have you desired thickness. For pinatas, i suggest three or four layers. You don't want them getting through too easily. Something more sturdy like a piggy bank or what not, you might want more. It all depends on what you're making.

If you are planning to paint your creation. I suggest that the last layer (or two) be white paper. That way, the news from the newspaper doesn't show through.

When the last layer is dry, remove whatever it is that you were paper macheing around (unless you meant to cover it completely like a cardboard tube for castle turrets). Snip the balloon near the tie point, and try to pull it out through the hole you left. Once that's out, you can stuff it full of candy, cover the hole with masking tape or some such (remember, you are the boss), and paint it. Don't forget the curly pipe cleaner tail for the pig, and Voila! A pinata!

If you are making something else, figure out how you want to finish your creation and do so. It's completely up to you.

Don't forget to clean up you workstation when you're done!

There are many different ways one could make a 3D paper mountain. One of the more well known ways is Origami where you take the piece of paper and make numerous folds to create the 3D mountain.

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!

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.

It's glue and paper. The term is French for "chewed paper". Any good quality school white glue will do fine for small projects such as Ross or Elmer's. For larger projects, a paste of flour and water is a good medium.

To begin, one needs a form. For a globe shape use a balloon. If you do not need to remove the shape, then use styrofoam as your base. Torn newspaper is an excellent source of paper for most projects.

Gather your materials together. You need paste, paper(newspaper, tissue, ect.), a tray, a form, and space. Thin your paste or glue to the consistancy of cream, that is, it will be thin almost like milk. Dip your paper into the glue until it is lightly coated with the paste. Run your fingers over the strip (newspaper) to remove the excess, and quickly lay it on the form. Smooth the strip to conform to the form. If the strip tears, it isn't a big deal, simply add another piece to the shape. Repeat this process until the form is covered. Allow at least 24 hours for the paste to dry on a one coat project.

To make features on the project, let it dry for 12 hours, then apply successive coats of paper mache at the selected place to make the desired feature.

The finished paper mache will be hard and will take paint well. Pop the balloon to release it after the project is dry.

• dont know this question it is hard !
• have to give me the answer
• its a crazy question

The color green , which is a secondary color , is made by combinding two primary colors : blue and yellow .

You need two pipe cleaners, preferably different colors. You cut each of them in half. Let's say your two pipecleaners were red and blue. You are going to coil a red half and then attatch it to a blue half and you will have a flower. You do the same thing with the other two and then you have two flowers.

no because its most likely to explode at extreme temperatures

^there's a video demonstrating how to make a snowflake.

Real snowflakes all have six sides, so the first part of this project involves folding a piece of paper into sixths.

Fold a piece of paper in half. Fold over one side, then the other, to make two 60 degree folds. You can do this by eye, or you can use a protractor. This is a good exercise in geometry and measuring angles. Cut off the edges of the paper in an arc - this makes a circle (if you were to unfold the paper). Cut a lot of the paper away. Unfold your snowflake carefully.

Optional: Decorate your snowflake with glitter or glitter glue.

Glue your snowflake onto a folded piece of construction paper for a great winter card.

To make a time capsule, choose a container, select items that represent the present time, write a letter to future discoverers, seal the items in the container, bury it in a safe place with a note detailing when it should be opened in the future. Remember to consider the materials and location to ensure the preservation of the items inside.

To make a book cover, cut out the bottom panel of a paper bag. Center your book on the remaining paper. Crease the top and bottom of the paper corresponding to the top and bottom of the book. Fold the creases in. Slip the two ends over the front and back of the book.

take any kind of paper. then cut it into a cross like shape. make sure it looks like a "T"- the bottom is longer than the top. have the "T" facing you upright. fold the top square down. crease it then put it back up. do the same with the two corners. then on the long piece, split it up. half way in, fold and crease. then fold the rest into the middle. unfold everything. now put up the top flap and the left flap so they are touching. tape. then tape the right flap to that. then tape the CLOSEST flap to that. [[since you made the bottom flap 2 flaps tape the one on top]] you should have a open box shape thing now. for your finale step tape the only flap left on top and then you should have a cube! good luck!I hope it works!!

Paper is made from trees (wood).Wood is Natural but they have processed the wood and made paper. Therefore it is man-made.

Try a product called "Preserve Your Memories II". It's wonderful (and I have no relationship to the maker!). It works on all kinds of paper as well as other media.

A pentegram is a symbol commonly used in wicca

below are a few pictures:

Egypt

We use it in our everyday life

you get a circle and put it together with another one

Rip a piece of paper so the width is about 1 in and the length is 3 in. Fold it in half once and then keep folding it about 4-5 times so its skinny then fold it in half again so its hard on the tip. Launch it with a rubber band and make sure its in the shape of a U. Pull back hard. The harder you pull, the farther it will go. Thanks, Kailey
