12. Let me better explain

This works best with less ornamental curved pieces.

Practice on any old piece of board.

5 - 10 parts water to Elmers glue (depending on the dimension you want), mixed in a flat pan.

Let's say you have brown paper bags on hand. Tear them into large or small or random sized pieces. Whatever floats your boat.

Dip the pieces of paper into the glue mixer, lay them on the surface, slightly over lapping, until the surface is covered. Let it dry.

That's the basic step.
