A dream has been realized. My first batch of paper!I originally got the idea from Craft: magazine. They had a whole spread on how to make recycled paper from your junk mail. The materials were a little labor intensive for me to put together, so I just used a wooden frame with the screen stapled to it as my deckle.
CraftDaisies.com has an amazing Papermaking Tutorial that was very helpful. The paper I used was just a bunch scrap paper so it turned out a little gray, but I like it.
Tada!
Heya, that's adorable paper - I like the different colored flecks.
