History of Paper Mache
Also known as papier-mâché, paper-mache, papermache, or papier
maché... was invented in China at the beginning of the 2nd century
A.D. Paper mache literally means chewed paper, and it
historically has involved various complicated techniques and
materials. Paper in pulp, strips, or sheet form was held
together with binders such as hide glue or natural resins.
Fillers were added to the paper and glue mix to give a
smoother surface or add strength. Paper mache is
lightweight, hard and strong and some types could be worked
like wood. Pieces were finished using lacquer, inlay,
paint, or varnish. sewuber carries paper mache of all
shapes and sizes, that are ready to paint or decorate.
