Papier mache

Papier-mâché is a crafting technique that involves creating objects by layering strips of paper, often soaked in a glue or adhesive mixture, over a mold or armature. Once the layers dry and harden, the structure becomes lightweight yet sturdy, suitable for sculptures, masks, or decorative items. It’s a versatile, affordable method that allows for detailed shaping and painting, making it popular for art projects, ornaments, and educational activities. The process emphasizes patience and craftsmanship, resulting in durable, creative pieces derived primarily from paper materials.
