Getting Started - Making Newspaper Flowerpots
An easy way to shred a whole lot of paper is to get sharp, sturdy scissors (or even a fabric cutter) and form a small pile of paper. Cut this paper into thin, manageable strips and set aside.
In a large bowl; mix together water, glue, and the paper strips. The mixture should be a little bit soupy; but not thin. (Think paper mache.)
