Thanks in advance,

Carla

Unhelpfully in my "Fun with Papier Mache" book from the library, it just says "thin it down with water".

When I used PVA to size my newly plastered walls it was 1 PVA to 10 water - should be enough for papier mache too. (will ask at DD nursery tonight)

spooky!!!
I was just thinking about doing this with dd today- but didn't have a clue how to go about it(other than getting a balloon).. so any simple instructions would be very helpful to this non practical mum!

Thanks all! I've just gone for 1/2 PVA and 1/2 water - who knows how'll it's turn up, at least it's keeping them occupied for the arvo!

Once again, thanks all!
