Explanation

Papier mache is a sculpting technique using paper strips or pulp mixed with glue or starch. Artists layer the wet paper mixture on molds to create sculptures.

When the paper dries, it becomes hard and can be painted. This technique is cheap and easy, making it popular for masks, decorations, and school projects.

Papier mache is French for chewed paper. The technique has been used worldwide for centuries to create lightweight sculptures and decorative objects.
