If so can they please help my duaghter has to mak a model of the sun but can't use the styrofome balls. perhaps papier-mâché on a balloon as in how to make piñatas? martha stewert...Pinata How-To1. Inflate the balloon, and coax it into a round shape by wrapping it with cloth tape. Set it aside. 2. Make paste: In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup wheat-paste powder with 4 1/2 cups water. Dip newspaper strips one at a time into the paste, and place them on the balloon, overlapping the strips slightly, until the balloon is completely covered. Let dry overnight. Repeat this process twice more for a total of three layers. ... modest 1 Quote
freeztar Posted December 28, 2010 Report Posted December 28, 2010 How complex does the model need to be? In other words, what grade level? Does she need to show solar flares and sunspots, or just a yellow ball? Is it just the sun, or does she need some planets as well? Btw, Welcome to Hypography! :) modest 1 Quote
