Nowadays, wall paper paste comes with a slew of toxic ingredients. Not only does it smell terrible while you are applying it, chances are it will emit harmful VOCs (volatile organic compound) for years to come. But back in the day, this stuff was just a mix of flour and water. Looking for a simple green solution? Care2.com has a recipe that makes it easy to whip up your own batch of paste. In addition to flour and water, it includes cloves, a natural preservative, and alum (aluminum potassium sulfate). ::Care2.com via ::Interiordesign.net
