Isn't that the same as, back then (gosh, I feel so old...lol), where you blow up a balloon, cut pieces of newspaper, dip 'em into a bowl of cornstarch (diluted coz it acts as glue) and slap it unto the balloon (talking about 5 layers of the paper pieces)? To get a ball effect? And then, you just pop the balloon when it's totally dried?
Just thinking out loud...ignore me if it's off subject...
