    Most craft store sell a powder mix for papermasche, or you can just use flower and water to make the sticky paste.Cut strips of newspaper and get creative! Then seal it with a clear coat spray paint after it is completely dry.

    Papercrete is newspapers, cardboard or generally any kind of paper material soaked in water long enough to turn into mush, drained and mixed with a concrete and sand mixture. It can then be molded and painted. There is only one person on the web in the United States that actually does it and you can find him at "thepapercrete.com" blog. He gives a wonderful blog on it and actually teaches you how to make the bowls, flowerpots or whatever you are trying to make.
