Answers:
easy. the basic recipe is half amount of pva glue and half amount of water. you can soak the newspaper to make it into clay-like texture, but i prefer to crumple pieces of newspaper then dip it in the glue-water mix and dip the paper as you go. or do everything with tape and newspaper, then when your thing is done, cover it with strips of newspaper dip in glue-water mixture, then later finish with tissue or toilet paper dip in the glue mix... this will make it easier to be painted on.

Other Answers:
glue water and newspaper
Mix plain old Elmers with about 1/3 as much water. Tear your strips of newspaper as thick or thin as you want. Wet the strips with the watery glue and lay over your form. Allow to dry.
This would be easy, flour and water, or about.com offers these suggestions

There are many different recipes available for paper mache paste and pulp. No one recipe is better than another or the 'right' recipe. Just use the recipe that works best for you and what you are making!

Here are a few options for paste for your paper mache projects:


Use a simple mixture of flour and water. Mix one part flour with about 2 parts of water until you get a consistancy like thick glue. Add more water or flour as necessary. Mix well to get out all the bumps. Add a few tablespoons of salt to help prevent mold!

Similar to the above recipe - Put 4 cups of water into a large pot. Place the pot on the stove and bring the water to a boil. While you are waiting for the water to boil, mix together 1 cup of flour with 2 cups of water, stir well to get out as many bumps as possible. Sponsored Links

You can use regular glue mixed with a bit of water. Mix using about 1 part water with 2 parts glue.

Tear up strips of newspaper and then mix flour and water into a paste. Add this to the newspaper and work with hands until really wet all over. I used a balloon or ball to shape the paper mache over. Also cover the mold you are going to use with plastic wraps so it is easily removed.
