Smile Paper Hamster House

I've just had a go at making a hamster house using a glass bowl and paper mache, it's drying right now but fingers crossed it will turn out good, if it does, I will post pictures later

What are the ingredients for paper mâché? I guess the paper can't have ink in the paper?

There's an old thread here about paper mâché houses:

That looks great, leedsgurl!

Unfortunately mine didn't go too well as the mache messed up but I would love to try again
