GenieBird Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hello. I haven't posted here in quite some time, unfortunately life sometimes gets in the way ... I have been working on my witch house and wanted to make a very weathered gray coloured flagstone exterior. I have collected a number of old egg cartons which are the ideal colour to begin with, but wondered if anyone knows how I can actually make the 'mulch' for the bricks. I have seen a papier mache type substance made from the egg cartons that would be terrific, but unfortunately, I can't seem to find the right ingredients ... no doubt some preservative would have to be added, or a mould inhibitor? Can anyone tell me or point me in the direction of some information regarding this? I would be most grateful. Jeanie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Welcome home, Jeanie. What about using some of the premixed wallpaper paste that has mold inhibitor as one of its ingredients? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenieBird Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Welcome home, Jeanie. What about using some of the premixed wallpaper paste that has mold inhibitor as one of its ingredients? That's a good idea, thank you for that. It's the mould I'm particularly worried about further down the track ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
