3. Now it is time to paper mache the outside of the planters. To make the paste, combine the included glue with ½ as much water and mix. Coat each newspaper strip in the glue/water mixture, then place on the exterior of the planter. Continue with each newspaper strip until the planter is covered in 2 layers of paper mache, folding the top of the strip over the edge of the top slightly to form a lip (see picture). Allow to dry before proceeding to step 4.
