How to do it
1 Soak papier-mâché pulp in water using the ratio: 3 parts pulp to 1 part water.
2 Knead the pulp until the consistency is relatively firm as shown in this photo.
3 Press a lump of the papier-mâché pulp into the shape cutter. Make sure that the pulp is pushed all the way into all the edges.
4 Make a hole for hanging using a small wooden stick.
5 For a rough texture, scratch the surface of the papier-mâché pulp with the pointed end of a small wooden stick. Remove the shape from the shape cutter, turn it over, place the shape cutter around the shape and scratch this side of the papier-mâché pulp shape as well.
6 Glue dried flowers onto the hanging decoration and leave to dry. The drying time depends on the thickness of the pulp and on the room temperature. It may be between 1-3 days.
7 Finish by attaching a piece of natural hemp for hanging through the hole at the top.
