paper mache

Paper mache is a crafting technique that involves combining pieces of paper, often torn or shredded, with a binder like glue or starch to create a moldable, sturdy material. Once mixed, the pulp can be shaped over frameworks or used to form objects. After it dries and hardens, it becomes lightweight yet durable, suitable for art projects, sculptures, or decorative items. The process allows for flexibility in design, as the paper paste can be molded into various shapes and surfaces, making it a versatile medium for creative expression.
