Painting the Sheep

Let’s get started:

How to do the paper mache:

Tear paper or newspapers into fairly large pieces.

Make your adhesive by mixing approximately 2 parts white glue with 1 part water or use a school paste.

Crumpled up newspaper and kept wrapping it into a shape needed and secured it with masking tape. 

Design what shape that you want to make it like any animals, cartoon characters or anything around the vegetable pot.

We used 2-3 layers of newspaper to cover it and finish the top layer by using the tissue paper coat it.

Colour the paper mache shape by painting the surface and polish by using the lacquer spray.
