This delicate papier-mâché box is entirely handmade in India.

Papier-mâché is a versatile material used in crafts and artistic creations. This pliable substance can be molded to create various objects, decorations, masks, sculptures, and even piñatas.

The process of crafting with papier-mâché involves several steps: it starts by tearing paper into small pieces and then mixing it with a natural flour-based glue to form a paste. This paste is then applied in successive layers onto a mold or structure. Once dry, the papier-mâché object becomes rigid, lightweight, and durable.

Often used in artistic projects due to its ease of manipulation and affordability, papier-mâché enables artists and artisans to bring their creativity to life by shaping objects that can be painted, decorated, or varnished to achieve a smooth and appealing finish.

This box is a unique creation embodying traditional Indian craftsmanship. It offers a captivating and refined visual appeal, adding an artistic and practical touch to your storage space. It is perfectly suited for storing and preserving your jewelry or minerals.
