NOTES: Tear newspaper into strips about 1-inch wide. Newspaper has a grain. Tear it in the right direction and it will tear straight and evenly. Coat object with paste and lay strip on pasty area, then spread more paste on top of this. Do the same with another strip, overlapping the first one. Continue until the whole object is covered with 4 layers of paper and paste, using narrower and shorter strips in tight areas.
