What is Paper Mache?
Paper Mache or papier-mâché as it is correctly spelled is pieces of paper bound together by glue. Ancient Chinese and Egyptians used paper mache to make masks and boxes. Craftsmen in Kashmir used paper mache to make small and elegant boxes which are in heavy demand even today. Somewhere are 1850, this technique took over Europe with a storm. It was used to manufacture everything from furniture to house hold items and wall panels. Using lacquer the products were finished with a pearl like shine.
Eventually plastic and metal replaced paper mache and it was relegated to use in arts and crafts where it is still popular even today. To think about paper mache being made from waste paper and textile waste is actually helping the environment. As an alternative to wood, paper mache is cheaper, lighter and can be moulded into any shape.
Customisation options
You can design this and customise it to your heart’s content. Colours, design, material and patterns. We can decorate it with paper or cloth flowers. Crystal flowers are expensive but they look elegant and last longer. The letters can be decorated with laces and cutouts.
Adding a photography can enhance their beauty and purpose. They can be decorated with a personalised handwritten message in calligraphy fonts. You can use any kind of paper to cover it up. You can also use transfer sheets, stamps and dies to decorate them.
Occasions
This is the perfect gift for any occasion. You can use it as wall hanging, paper weight, table-top decor and so on. It can be hung on the wall or just left on as a showpiece. There is little or no maintenance required for these letters, though they have to strictly used indoors only. Because it is coated with acrylic, wiping with a damp cloth will clean it as good as new.
