This craft is used widely for ornamentation on a huge range of contemporary products such as writing table sets, dressing table ware, bangles, lamp stands, cups bowls, vases, boxes, wall plaques, panels, screens and cabinets. In the old days, the technique of Papier-Mache was artistically applied to woodwork, especially window panels and ceilings and furniture. Exquisite furniture pieces are made of wood even today. These are liberally coated with pulp and surface dressing material preparatory to being painted.
