Made from cardboard paper, wheat glue and filled with coffee ground

The coffee ground shrinks a lot when drying. I'd use cardboard layers instead if I had to do it again

I've never thought of using papier-mâché this way! So cool.

You could probably paint or lacquer it too to add some extra water resistance if needed.

That's a good idea, but I'll wait for a few months of use to see if I want to modify it before painting.
