What You Will Do

  1. With the gloves on, pour the flour in a large bowl and slowly add water.
  2. Stir until there are no lumps.
  3. After all the water has been added, mix in the glue.
  4. Set the mixture aside. Then, tear 2 1/2" strips from the newspaper. Length depends on the length of the object you're using.
  5. Hold strip of paper over a bowl with your left-hand (if you're right-handed).
  6. Cover your right-hand fingers with the mixture.
  7. Rub it on the strip. It should be completely moistened; if too much, the strip may break.
  8. Slowly and gently, move your right-hand down strip until the strip is smooth and extra mixture fell off into bowl.
  9. Place the strip over a mold.
  10. Repeat steps 4-9 for each strip.
