Make versus Makes when combining two items

Make versus Makes when combining two items

If I have an item, combined with another item, is it still a singular
subject in the sentence? For example:
This paper, combined with some glue, makes for an afternoon of art projects.
-or-
This paper, combined with some glue, make for an afternoon of art projects.
All of my experience tells me that it should be the first, but I have
multiple people arguing for the second. Please help.
