Milk Mache Molding Compound
Milk
Viniger
Bowl
Paper (can be kitchen tissue)
Mix ½ cup of milk with four tablespoons of vinegar in a bowl that can be placed in the microwave.
Place the bowl in the microwave on a high temperature for a minute.
After heating the mixture will be liquid and solid. Pour the mixture over a paper and let it drink the liquid that is in the mixture.
Wait about fifteen minutes to let the mixture hold together.
Here you go, you got a mixture that you can shape it as you like and when it dries it becomes solid stone. In fact, this combination can be considered out of plastic.

I tried this today and was left with a soggy mass which would not hold together.
I used Malt vinegar and longlife semi-skimmed milk.
Any pointers on where you think I am going wrong would be much appreciated.
I have tried this with not much success. It may be because I used 2 percent milk and not whole milk. The results looked like cottage cheese when I tried to work with it, it crumbled. But I will try it again with whole milk and see what happens. I did use paper towels and I'm convinced that kitchen tissue is what is meant in the directions as paper towels. I used 5 sheets folded and that seemed to be a good amount for absorbing the liquid. I'm sticking with 5 stars because this is actually a fun learning experience. I'm also going to try and use food coloring to see what happens.
Is kitchen tissue the same as paper towels? Can you use any kind of non-glossy paper? How do you know how much paper to put in? Sorry for all the questions, but I would really like to try this. It looks interesting! Thank you!
