Homemade Paper

This hack is actually one of the easiest and, in my opinion, one of the more entertaining. It's a really inventive way to recycle and at the same time, you can get fun results. You can even use material like lint and sheds of cotton to do this. One of the girls in my class tried it using both of those and they turned out really well. They are great for the crafty projects like making cards and scrap books projects




What to Get:
paper
water
food processor
big rectangle Tupperware container or plastic foot bath
piece of metal screen (you can get it at any home improvement store)
dyes or found objects (optional)




How-To:
1. Shred paper into little bits
**newspaper, lint, cotton, old assignments from teachers you didn't like**
2. Feed water and paper into the food processor
3. After everything is all blended into what's called paper pulp, scoop it out and put it into the container with water until it is almost full and a soupy texture
**you can add things like string, other objects, or dye if you want**
4. Take the piece of screen and sift the paper out of the water to make even sheets
5. Gently peel the new paper sheet off the screen so that you don't tear the corners
6. Last step! Let it dry and do whatever you want with it!
