Paper Mache box question

Hi, I'm new here and just wondering if I could get some help.  I'm making gift boxes for the holidays and having trouble finding stacking paper mache boxes.  Making them would just be too time consuming.  Does anyone know where they sell them wholesale, or cheap?  Thanks bunches! big_smile

Re: Paper Mache box question

ebay has the cheapest. Do a search on 'paper mache' or 'papier mache', depending on your locale.~tammy

Re: Paper Mache box question

Not necessarily time consuming.   If you have some corrugated paper, a hot glue gun and decorative paper, it's easy.
Cut the card to size, hot glue the parts together; apply a layer of paper (preferable kraft - brown paper) then the decorative.  Bingo.

Re: Paper Mache box question

dopapier: You know it never occured to me to use a hot glue gun to put together cardboard pieces for papier-mache I have always just used masking tape.

I can never get over what a wealth of information you are!
