What you will need to make paper mâché is paper clippings, an adhesive and something to build on (I used a plastic mask). For this example I will be using a mixture of flour and water however there are other paper mâché adhesive recipes. After you have these assembled you are ready for the next step.

Mixing the Adhesive

To create the adhesive used you would need 1/4 part flour to one cup water.

By dragging the paper clippings through the adhesive they will become thoroughly coated and ready for use.
