Make a form from wire, wadded newspaper, stuffed paper bags, or balloons. For a flat piece, such as a dollhouse or box, you can use a piece of cardboard. Tear newspaper into strips. Narrower strips work best for a rounded mold and larger strips are good for flat or rectangular shapes. Choose one of the following recipes to make the paste. Dip strips into paste, coating completely, squeezing out excess paste with your fingers. Use the strips to cover your pre-made form. If you overlap the strips, your finished product will look smoother. Allow each layer to dry before adding another layer. Cover your form with at least 2 layers.

Paper Mache Paste
Flour
Salt
Water
Newspapers
Non-rusting container
Wooden-spoon

Soak papers in water in container. Reduce to pulp by tearing and stirring with spoon. Drain. Mix in thick paste of flour, water, and a little salt. Stir until paper mache begins to feel like clay. Use as clay. It will squish through wire forms. There will be some shrinking as mache dries.

Paper Mache Paste
1/2 cup flour
2 cups cold water
2 cups boiling water
3 tbsp. sugar
Newspapers

Mix together the flour and cold water in a bowl. Add boiling water to this mixture, and return to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar. The mixture will thicken as it cools. In humid climates, try powdered non-porous wall paper adhesive mixed with water.

I have a recipe that I kinda tweaked for the project I was working on and have used it for several others. Here we go *first ddepending on the piece i'm working on and the stubility I want to achieve I use either news paper and or junk mail (note the "slick" or the "shinny junk mail is not a good clay becaused of the film that creates the shinny effect), after getting my paper I tear it and place it in a blender (saved for crafting not for food) with hot water and Elmers glue all (not school glue, there is a big difference) *Pulse blender.

*remove from blender and add more Elmer's glue until you get a workable consistance. It's messy but what paper mache isn't. It's a messy fun. you can also use this as THe paste for stripes of paper. hope that might help someone. I diddn't give measurement's because they are as required. To be honest when I'm experamenting with something I don't always take the time for measurement's because I'm having to much fun Playing.....

Walla is the rough pronunciation for the french work "oila" which roughly means, "and there you go"
