How to make paper

First you want to collect recycled envelopes, newspapers, scrap papers,

cardboard etc. and if you want, add to boiled plants like nettles, blackberries,

raspberry's etc. If not then tear the papers up and cover them in water to boil.
Once the papers begin to tear away from one another blender the mixture.

 You can also add fibres like from the hoover or even the tumble

 dryer to create paper full of textures and fibres.

 Then pour the mixture into a large sink or tub and fill it up with at least

 over halfway of water.

Using a metal mesh run it through the water so the mesh is coated in the

mixture.

Place the mesh onto a board with the mixture side up, and lay a jay

 cloth over the top to help draw the liquid out. You want to apply

a lot of pressure so I would put a board over the top and stand on

it. Then peel the mesh off and the mixture should stay on the jay cloth,

leave out until completely dry and peel the paper away from the cloth.

On the left is the nettle paper and on the right is blackberries with pressed

flowers. As you can see there are lots of tickets in the paper as

this was part of my summer project.
