papier-mache
Wet newspaper art
Papier-mâché is a craft material made from paper pulp or strips mixed with paste or glue, which hardens as it dries.
The technique produces lightweight but sturdy objects—masks, piñatas, sculptures, theatrical props: The children made papier-mâché volcanoes for the science fair.
From French, literally "chewed paper."
