Make Handmade Paper - Step by Step Guide
Posted by Ciara on 6th Mar 2023
This technique illustrates how to make beautiful paper from scratch. Make paper with paper pulp or old scraps of paper and add, for example, lavender seeds to create a lovely effect. This is a fun and inexpensive craft project resulting in a unique, useful handmade product. For many, the process and creativity of papermaking will be enjoyment in itself, without needing to do anything more with the homemade paper afterwards. Of course, you can also use the finished sheets for a wide range of paper crafts and decorations, such as cards, stationery, hole-punched hanging decorations and much more.
100g paper pulp = 20-25 A5 sheets of handmade paper.
