Some more fun with paper mache this year.
We made birds perched on a tree branch using paper mache. For this only raw material was old newspaper.
For glue one can use wheat flour mixed in water , i prefer to use diluted fevicol as that dries up quickly. And is suitable for school projects.
To make birds their are lots of tutorial online ..you can refer this one

This one is the easiest and best available on net.
So following this we made the birds.
To make branch take a full sheet of newspaper make a roll out of it and crumple the roll to get the feel of a tree branch. ( This time I have taken photos for each step, will upload those soon.)
We added a layer of white tissues to get some texture on the birds as well the tree branch.
Use pastel colors to paint it. The whole thing was ready in 3 days.
Ready for display at school.
