Okay, ladies, I am gonna give this a try next weekend, I will let you know how it works out
Making your own paper is a lot of fun. We did it a few years back. I need to dig out my supplies and make some more, though. I don't have time to look up these websites, but can share a tip: tear up the paper you want to recycle into new handmade paper into small pieces, put all of them in an empty plastic ice cream bucket, cover with water, and let sit for a couple of days. The paper fibers will soften and you'll get pulp really easy. If your hubby or SO has a paint blender gadget that goes on a power drill, you can use that to mix up your paper pulp. Otherwise, put it through a blender; it does help to use an old blender that isn't used for food anymore, just in case. Have fun!
