When wet, paper maché has very little form and will not hold its shape. So the first step in making a paper maché project is to make a base onto which the paper maché is applied. Bases can be made from many different items, including:
#'''Balloons:''' Inflate a balloon and tape other items onto it, such as paper cups, toilet paper rolls, or other items.
#'''Plastic bottles:''' Attach golf tees for legs to turn a plastic bottle into an animal (such as a pig).
#'''Aluminum Foil:''' Press the foil around a person's face to get an image of it. If the subject wears glasses, leave them on. Carefully remove the foil and place crumpled newspaper into it to help hold the shape.
#'''Paper Plates:''' These make an excellent base for constructing a mask.
#'''Cardboard Boxes:''' Use small cardboard boxes such as those in which many food items are packaged.
#'''Wire and Wire Mesh:''' Form wire into the desired shape. Especially useful for this is fencing wire (such as chicken wire) and gutter guard mesh. Hardware cloth is a little too stiff to work with.
