The word "papier-mâché" is translated from French as "vigorous paper" or "Ripped paper". For the first time this technique appeared in France. Trays, toys, tobacker, candlesticks and even decorative stucco were made from Papier Masha.
There are two ways to create products from papier-mache.
The first is a modeling of mass formation, consisting of soft paper and adhesive substance.
The second is sticking torn paper by layers This species also call the machine.
Paper-Masha technique is absolutely not difficult, but requires accuracy and patience. The process of making a conceived thing, can delay for several days due to the long drying of the material.
But the spent time will not disappear into empty, because as a result, you can create a wide variety of things, such as decorative elements of the interior, caskets, piggy banks, figurines, masks, dolls, rattles and much more.
Paper-Masha, often combine decoupage with appliances. Such a union makes it possible to create truly real masterpieces.
Typically, newspaper sheets are used for the manufacture of mass, but it is not fundamentally, to the move can be used toilet paper, paper towels.
Newspaper sheets Rive or cut into small pieces, fold into a deep vessel and fill with water. The larger use the mixer, grinding in small portions. But you can get along and on our own, for this torn paper to pour hot water and leave for reference for about 3 hours.
After that, to knead hands before receiving a homogeneous mass. Through the sieve, it is necessary to see excess water excess, and add a mixture of glue with a hubble in the resulting thickness. Mix until it starts to stick up a little.
If not used at a time, it can be stored in a cool place for several days, it is impossible to freeze. When stored, the mass can become liquid, in this case, press it and add glue.
The mass is prepared with glue and a kleuister, because when using only glue, it is difficult to sculpt, and one Clauster does not give the necessary strength. To increase the fortress, you can add minor wood sawdust.
Cleaner for mass can be prepared as follows:
Mix flour and water in proportion 1: 3, mix thoroughly so that there are no lumps.
Put on fire, and continuously stirring to bring to a boil.
Then remove from the fire and make cool.
Cleaster stored in the refrigerator for several days, wrapped tightly with polyethylene film.
It is necessary to paint the product by tempera, alkyd or oil paint. Gouache and watercolor are not suitable due to the fact that they are dirty and erased.
For greater durability of Guachi, some PVA glue is added to it. Covered painted articles with colorless varnish. Before staining, the product must be sanded and primed.
Second way - Marking (sticker pieces of paper)
Momatization is a salable of the prepared shape with pieces of paper. Paper should be soft, newspaper sheets are also suitable for this.
The most ideal option is a funny salary: Apply the first layer of colored or white paper, lubricate the surface with glue, then cover the second, using the paper of contrasting color or newspaper scraps.
It is used in order not to get confused in the number of reservoirs. In any case, the last layer is necessarily done from white paper. It is necessary to make at least 8-10 layers. Every two layers must dry before apply the following two. It is necessary to ensure that the pieces of paper with pasting are slightly visited each other, they laid smoothly and did not frown.
In no case cannot be cutting with scissors , exclusively to break your hands into small pieces. The edges in this case are fine and smoothed well in the finished product.
Depending on how Papier-Masha was performed, Momatting is internal (saved from the inside) and external (outdoor) . If you are looking forward to the fact that the shape of the product will remain inside the product, lubricate it before working glue. But in case of subsequent extraction, cover the shape of a vaseline or bold cream.
Merchant is very well suited by miserable glue, which can be replaced with a hi-cooking.
Cooking is the same as in the case of working with a mass for papier-mache, but you can make it as follows:
Starch is divorced by water room temperature and is stirred up to the thickness of sour cream.
Continuing to interfere, boiling water is added to small portions until it turns out to be a transparent, thick liquid.
After cooling, the Kleister is ready for operation.
It is impossible to store it for a long time, it is better to cook fresh each time.
Also use casein glue to work, which is sold in construction stores.
Small details are completed with a mixture of papers and glue blocks. It must be remembered that during drying they are greatly reduced in size. If this happens, then after complete drying, you take the detail with torn paper to the required size.
The product is dried at room temperature for approximately two days.
On the battery, dried contraindicated, as it can crack.
Ready, fully dried billet should be removed from the form and well treat sandpaper, trying to achieve flatness surface. Then primed. To do this, it is better to use primer on aquatic or latex basis. The soil is applied with a flat tassel. Before applying the next layer, let's dry the previous one.
It is painted and the thing is painted, as well as the product from the mass for the papier-mache.
