Materials Needed:
- 1 Cup Flour
- 1/2 Cup Resin Glue Powder
- 4 Cups Water
Instructions:
To make this paper mache paste, start out by putting 3 cups of water in a pot and bring it to a boil. While you are waiting for it to boil, mix the 1 cup of flour and the 1/2 cup of powdered glue resin together. Slowly stir in 1 cup of very warm water. Once it is all blended together, beat this mixture briskly to remove lumps.
Once your pot of water is boiling, slowly stir in the flour mixture. Mix well and let it boil for 2 - 3 minutes or until it is clear and smooth.
A few helpful tips I have read in regards to using this paste are:
- If you don't like the smell of the glue mixture you can add a few sprinkles of cinnamon or cinnamon to sweeten it up!
- I have read (but have not tried) that adding a few drops of oil of wintergreen can help make the paste last longer.
You should be able to store this glue in a covered bowl or jar, in the refrigerator, for a few days.
