Paper Making Recipe




Source of Recipe


Unknown


List of Ingredients




5 pieces of facial tissue papers
2 cups of hot boiling water
5 pieces of cotton fabric, make sure that the color does not run or bleed

An empty picture frame or embroidery hoop

1 quart pitcher

Cookie sheet

Blender

Iron and ironing board

Sponge

Rolling pin

A knife



Recipe



1. Tear up the tissue paper into small pieces and put into the pitcher. Add the boiling water and soak the paper for ten minutes.


2. Place the cookie sheet on a flat and level surface. This important.


3. Place a piece of cotton material on the tray, smoothing it out to make sure it is flat.


4. Next place the frame or hoop in the middle on the cotton material.


5. Pour the contents of the pitcher into a blender and process till smooth.


6. Now pour the contents (pureed pulp) out of the blender into the empty frame or hoop. Spreading the pureed pulp evenly.


7. Water will seep out of the frame, so soak it up with the sponge. Place another piece of cotton material over the pureed pulp to soak up some water. Continue to sponge excess water till no more water seems to be coming out of the pureed pulp.


8. Carefully lift off the top cotton material and then remove the frame or hoop. Place a dry piece of cotton material on top of the pureed pulp and lightly roll over this with a rolling pin.


9. Lift the top cotton piece off carefully and replace it with a dry one. Iron the material until it is dry. Flip it over and peel off the back carefully. Replace it with a dry material and continue to iron until the paper feels dry.


10. Peel the top layer off slowly, then the bottom layer. Use a knife to help this process along.


To make color paper, add food coloring to the hot water in the pitcher and stir before adding the tissue paper.
