Papier mâché is a construction material made from a paper product—either pulp or torn paper and a glue — either wall paper paste, flour and water, or resin. The pulp version is more often used for modeling, while the torn paper kind is used to make layered papier mâché products. Commercial products that combine the glue and paper material and only require the addition of water are also available. Variations for special purposes incorporate other materials, such as sawdust, glue, and oil.
Papier mâché is often shaped over something. Often is placed over an underlying structure called an armature, that remains within the finished product. armatures are composed of light weight but fairly rigid materials to give shape and form to the final product. Often they are constructed of materials such as wire, wood, Styrofoam, cardboard, and padding..
