Details
Instead of rolling the paper pulp into sheets as described under 'Making Paper' in Fun Things section, you can pack the pulp into clear candy molds of all shapes and sizes. Press the pulp deep into all areas of the mold. (The clear mold will enable you to see it easily.) Use a sponge to soak up extra moisture, then use a towel or paper towel and press firmly to remove as much water as possible. Let the pulp dry in the mold overnight. When the paper pulp is dry, press on the edges of the mold and push the paper sculpture out. You can leave the rough edges around the image for a handcrafted look or trim the edges with scissors. Your new sculpture may then be painted, decorated with ribbons, mounted and framed, or become part of a collage.
