Materials Needed: Mesh,Deckle,1 Bucket's,Old shirt, large container ( that can fit the deckle and mesh ) Water (Warm - Hot), Egg Beater, Used paper and some towels.
Warning: Remember to put your old shirt on before anything.
Step 1 : Grab your used Paper and rip it up into pieces sized 5 - 7 cm.You then put the ripped paper into your bucket. (Remember: The smaller the paper the more easy it is to turn it into pulp)
Step 2: Then you get the ripped paper which should be inside the bucket and pour warm water into the bucket.
Step 3: Get your egg beater and mix the paper water, until you create a mixture the is all pulpy. ( Make sure your water is the colour of the paper.
Step 4: You then pour your pulpy mixture into the large container.
Step 5: Dip both hands in and swirl around letting your pulp swim around in the water. (Your water should turn into the colour of the paper)
Step 6: Put together the mesh and deckle. Grip the mesh and deckle tightly and dip the mesh and deckle landscape or portrait.
Step 7: When you think you are ready, bring the mesh and deckle out along with the pulp.
Step 8: Take the top of the deckle off,
Step 9: Gently take the mesh off and carefully place it onto a towel.
Step 10: Place another towel on top of the paper and flip the towels carefully
Step 11: Take the towel and mesh off and leave the paper to dry.
Then... Congratulations you have made homemade paper!
My Reflections:
What was good: I thought that making paper was totally cool because you can save the earth and trees.
What was bad: The bad thing was taking the mesh and towel off, The reason for this was because sometimes the paper sticks onto the mesh and wrecks the whole thing.
How has thinking changed: Making paper was so cool because there are things I have never learnt about for example, the mesh and deckle.
Connections to sustainability: I think reusing paper to make recycled paper is a big help for the Environment. People cut down trees for paper and trees provide oxygen for us to breathe. So making recycled paper is really good fro the earth and the environment.
