TÉCNICA DE PAPEL MACHÉ ENGLISH ESPAÑOL Paste To make the paste, you can add some PVA glue and water. The mixed paste should be about as thick as cream. There are no strict rules about exact amounts - you can try out yourself various mixes. Paper Using a newspaper is fine for most layered papier mâché projects, but it is fairly acidic paper, and can break down after a long time. You can start with a layer of good paper, add 8 or so layers of newspaper strips, and then finish up with one or two layers of good paper again. Mould preparation & layering techniques You can use many different objects as a mould for papier mâché. Remember that your final piece needs to be pulled out the mould. A cereal bowl or balloon is a good start. If you're using a balloon as a base, there's no need to protect the balloon surface in any way, as you'll eventually pop the balloon. The best way is to do 3-5 layers at one sitting, and then let the structure will dry for a day or two, and then add more layers.
