    Paper Mache is strips of newspaper say over a balloon with PVA Glue,you could use strips of wallpaper,what is Miss Divadee doing? sounds interesting,I am sure if my information is wrong someone can correct it,thank you.

    it is for the school easter egg comptition you have to make a scene that incorporates eggs somehow, and we need the paper mache to make the background scene.

    my brother confused me as i used to use wallpaper paste, and he said no you use ova so didnt know which to go for lol

    yep, they do a big litre bottle quite cheap and can't think of anywhere cheaper :confused:

    We used to use wallpaper paste or even flour and water. I think if you use PVA you have to water it down a bit.

    I'm sure you can get the PVA cheaper in the DIY section through, in the tubs for walls, but I've used it for crafts before.
    My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly :)
