For cheap and quick -- straight liquid starch and Newspaper works....its very inexpensive.
(you can also use brown craft paper to avoid having to do so many layers).

You can thin out some white school glue, brush it on after the starch dries to make things a bit more rigid ...if you want.

Thats very basic. If you want something mo-betta, longer lasting, there are lots of various concoctions you can find with glue, flower, paper pulps, all that.

Have fun!
