For other uses, see Papier.

Papier-mâché around a form such as a balloon to create a pig. The balloon is popped when the glue hardens.Papier-mâché (French for 'chewed-up paper' due to its appearance), sometimes called paper-mâché, is a construction material that consists of pieces of paper, sometimes reinforced with textiles, stuck together using a wet paste (e.g., glue, starch, or wallpaper adhesive). The crafted object becomes solid when the paste dries.[1]
