Paper Mache - how many layers of paper?

Hi,

I am new to Paper Mache.  I am layering a baloon with newspaper and flour and water glue - attempting to maker a vase!  How many layers are recommended?

When should I use pulp instead of paper layers?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Manisha

Re: Paper Mache - how many layers of paper?

it depends on how big the vase is and if you plan on it being a usable piece or just an art object
i think i would say no less than 7 layers all dried individually
