Papier-Mâché Glue: Make a simple, thin glue from flour and water. Mix 1/2 cup of flour into 1/2 cup of water until the mixture is thin and runny. Stir into 2 cups of boiling water (the heating gives the glue a nice consistency, but is not necessary). Simmer for about 3 minutes, then cool.

Keep it in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Any screw-on lid would be OK, or one of those food storage containers like the ones made by RubberMaid, Glad, or Hefty. It's exposure to air that makes a glue dry out, so the main idea is to avoid that. If you have too much to put in a jar, and you won't need to keep it very long, then probably you could just put it in a bowl and cover the top with a plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator. But I don't know how long you can keep it, because (as Ibredd says, above) people usually only make as much as they think they'll need, and throw away any left over.

It's the type of thing to use and then though away.
