To make paper mache you will need:
Newspaper.
Plain flour.
Water.
Salt.
Table covering.
Emulsion paint.
Vaseline.
Paintbrush.
Mix one part flour with one part of water (eg, 1 cup flour and 1 cup water, or 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup water) until you get a thick glue-like consistency. Add a bit more water if it’s too thick. Mix well with a spoon to get rid of all the lumps.

You can use glue and water, flour and water, or cornstarch and water.
