Paper mache craft is a traditional craft and is passed on from one generation to the next generation in a family. It is still made with hands in small home shops where the whole family sits together and engages in the art of making papercrafts. Making paper mache is simple but takes a lot of time and labor.In the traditional method of making paper mache, the waste paper is soaked in water for a few days till its starts getting disintegrated. The excess water is then drained out and the soaked paper, rice straw, cloth, and bonding agents are mixed well to get a pulp. This pulp is now placed in a mold and left for three or more days to dry. After it is dry the shape is cut away from the mold into two halves and then glued again. Tt is then coated with a layer of glue and gypsum and then made smooth by rubbing with stone or a baked piece of clay. Layers of tissue are then pasted. The base color is painted on it and now it is ready for making design. The design is made by hand. Some parts of the design are raised a bit to give dimension to the design.
