Paper Mache

[PassionateMom]

 Does anyone have an easy recipe for making paper mache at home?  I wanted to do some Halloween projects with my son and thought this would be a good way to go.

I myself just use plain white glue, or you can use aleene's tacky glue, and use newspaper, cut into strips and dip strips into mixture of water and glue.  some recipe's call for flour, but I don't like the way the flour works. so I just stick with glue and water mixture. you can use copy paper as well or use construction paper and cut into little squares. I have done this also and my kids like the color mixtures. hope this helps. i'm sure there's recipe's onine as well. good luck.
