What are the two papier-mâché methods?
1 Answer
One papier-mâché method uses paper pulp that’s created by soaking and boiling paper, and then a glue is added to get it to stick. The other method of doing papier-mâché involved taking strips of paper and gluing them together or layering the strips. Both methods require some sort of reinforcement to hold their shape.
