This video talks about me using newspaper and copy paper to make a paper mache strong enough to hold a baby in as a photo shoot prop. It took me 3 weeks to complete, went through a steep learning curve. You need to let your balloon dry completely. Leave for at least 3 days. My failed model was only 24 hours before I popped it.
