Solution

The paper pulp obtained from paper is mixed with glue and saw-dust. Glue and saw-dust make the paper hard. For making hard boxes, toys, etc., few coats of this hard pulp is applied over the framework. The framework can be made of cardboard. It is then allowed to dry up. Once the pulp is dried up, hard boxes and toys can further be painted and decorated.
