Papier-mâ"che' is a cheap, easy-to-use sculpt- ing material that chitdren love to experiment with, and il makes a guaranteed-to- delight project for your kids when they've "nothing to do". It can be molded around discarded objects like jars, cans and boxes to make handsome accessor- ies, or it can be used to cre- ate a limitless range of imaginative animais and sculpture. You can make papier- mâche in two ways. Ail you need are old newspapers, water and white glue. The first method is especially. good for beginners. It's quite simple to work with because you apply it over an existing shape - an empty can, an old box. Make a solution of 50% water and 50% Elmer's glue. Cut a batch of newspaper strips about 1 " wide. Dip a strip at a time in the mixture and apply to the can or box, or whatever shape you've se- lected. Build up 8 to 10 lay- ers of overlapping strips. Whendry, the papier-màche is ready for paint and decoration. Papier-mâAché can also be made by tearing up newspa- pers into smnall pieces and letting them soak briefly in a bowl of hot water. Pour off the excess water and add El- mer% glue until the mixture feels easy to mold. This method makes a strong, smooth papier-mâche' that can be molded free-form like dlay. It's also suitable for molding over rough shapes made from crum- pied newspapers or wire hangers. Youngsters wîll find this kind of papier- mâche ideal for 'sculpting fantasy shapes, prehistoric creatures and ail maniner of animais. Children love balloons - and bursting them, too. So they'll have an especially good time applying layers of glue-soaked paper strips over blown-up. balloons to create a round shape. When the strips are dry, burst the balloon and use the ptump, papier-mâché shape as the body of an animal or a fan- tastic, fia. creature. Cut in haîf, the round shape can be- corne a mask; just glue on yarn hair, add a papier- mâche' nose and cul holes for eyes and mouth. Or, let your children transform long, "sausage" balloons in- bo small bodies, planes, trains and who knows what else? After your youngsters have shaped a beautiful, new pencil-holder, or a friendly elephant, or an imaginary prehistoric monster, they are ready to add the finish- ing touches. A ferocious, fantasy animal looks even more spectacular when painted in a child's own color scheme - be il purple or red, white and blue. Use acrylic or enamel spray paint; or tint Elmer's glue with food coloring to make "glue-paint". Yarn, glued onto a lion, makes a super mane and taîl; buttons make lustrous cat's eyes - the possibilities are endless and as individual as each child! t 2e99 * For sehool lockers eFor Gym Lockers bikes,) doors, etc. WITBY DOMINION HARDWVARE 31 eRCKTs668-354OM stav oiTt the grass. 6.
