First get a shoe box and get the box top. That will be your base.

Then, cut out newspaper strips and apply several layers on the shoe box top using a mixture of Gesso primer and tacky glue.

Let dry and repeat with gesso primer to get a completely white surface. If you want to keep that newspaper, paper mache background, do not apply that extra layer of gesso.
