Papier-Maché Pulp

Papier-mâché pulp is durable and colourfast pulverised paper for making papier-mâché figures. Dries out and becomes robust despite its lightness. Stir with water.

The pulverised paper has been pre-applied with a little adhesive, so you only need to mix it with water. Mixing ratio: 3 parts pulp and 1 part water. Make a little at a time, as the pulp is very efficient to use. Mix by stirring to a porridge-like consistency and model the pulp into a solid consistency with your hands. You might like to make the pulp 1 day before you need it and store it in a bucket with a lid. Press, shape and smooth the pulp on top of non-absorbent items, or model it into small flat items on e.g. a plastic pocket. The thicker the layer – the longer the drying time. Leave to dry in a warm place for 3- 7 days.

The pulp has a lovely raw surface and you can use it for many creative projects:.

• Gather the family and get everyone to model figures out of the pulp
• Create cute elves for the windowsill, where they can spread a little extra Christmas spirit throughout the month of December
• Cover all kinds of surfaces and make vases, pots and other decorative items that add a fresh touch to your home decor
