One of the Summer activities for Susannah and I, was making paper. We bought a kit that teaches you how to make new sheets of hand made paper from pulp which you can either buy in bags OR you can create by tearing up old letters/ newspapers etc and recycling your old paper!!! I LOVE this idea, especially as a scrapbooker with soooooo many scraps of coloured paper!!!! So now we have something to do with all those scraps!!!! We can turn them in to pulp and make new sheets of paper :)
We had to use Christophers blender to blend up the paper in to pulp....not sure he was too thrilled about this, but we didn't let that spoil our creative flow lol..he was at work while we were busy anyway ;)
The paper making process is really easy and fun and fairly quick - you can even use an iron to speed up the drying time of the paper and making the paper thinner!!! It was fun!!! :)
