2. Form the frame of the composition. For a beer mug, a cylindrical box is suitable, for a weight - a ball. Anchor is easy to cut out of cardboard or plastic. For complex volumetric objects, for example, a car you can make a papier-mache frame. The finished object (a children's toy) is taken and pasted with layers cut into small pieces of paper with the preliminary drying of the previous laid layer. By the way, the source should be wrapped with a film or a package to easily remove the paper shell.
