I dont know if you remember the first time you ever made paper mache but I do.
I actually wasnt a child .
I was an adult volunteering in a classroom in college for internship credits.
Ive crafted my whole life, so the process of usingpaper in craftswasnt new to me.
What was different about this time was that I had never seen the hard core paper mache process before.
In this class, the students were creating pulp withnewspapersto make their paper mache.
It was very cool, but somewhat involved.
There was a lot going on in that classroom!
To sum it up, the newspaper had been torn into tiny pieces and soaked in hot water overnight.
It was then blended up and filtered with a screen to remove excess water.
Im sure you’ve got the option to imagine it was chaos and took quite awhile.
and makes a lot less mess!
