Papier Mache

Here is a little "home made" recipe for papier mache, im sure most people just use watered down PVA but this saves the money!!!!

Boil 5 cups of water in a saucepan.

In a bowl mix 1/4 cup of flour (sieved) with 1 cup of cold water.

Wisk/mix untill a smooth consistancy is reached.

Add the mixture to the boiling water.

Gently boil, stirring constantly for two - three minutes untill thickened.

Allow to cool before using.

This will keep in an air-tight jar for about a week, it can seperate but you will just need to give it a shake every once in a while.
