How to make handmade paper at home using basic materials and household equipment. Filmed and edited by Catherine Finsness at Dieu Donné with Studio Collaborator & Education Manager Amy Jacobs.
This is the best method ive seen. Im starting to make my own recycled paper for my college notes so i dont waste trees by buying new paper every semester. I can just recycle my own and its much less wasteful and cost efficient
I am curious about the paper weight, and how paper thickness is controlled. What if someone wants thin paper? How one regulates how much pulp (which floats freely in the water) is caught on top of the paper mould? Does pressing of the paper, (before it is dry), makes it thinner?
I would guess that you could get them from a craft store or other shop that sells fabric. It looks like something that my dad, whom is an upholsterer, uses in making skirts for furniture. You might also be able to try using a filter, also. It seems to be about the same thickness and such as an oil filter that you would use in a kitchen for filtering fryers. Haven't tried it myself, but I'm just guessing lol.
how long it will take to dry a single paper? I notice that in the video, the wet recycled paper was pink but when it dries it turn out to be something white.
Ubaidillah Alimpang the dry time is approximately 1 to 2 days (sometimes it depends on the size of the paper) using colored paper for recycling really does fade its color so it's better to use ink colored paper like paper crepes. Hope this information helps.
You can use shop towels that you can find at a Walmart or an automobile shop. She's using an expensive Tyvek, cotton blend paper to hold and dry the paper.
is this the most efficient way to recycle paper at home? I can't shake off the feeling that you are wasting lots of resources (water, all the towels, time, etc) to make a single sheet of recycled paper. its probably easier to buy a pack of paper and send all the scrap paper to your local recycler.
water everporated out. using sun. so if really wanted you take dirt rainbow water from sweeper use utub water evaporating and catching method drink dirt water as clean water. it more about do something other cain't. i took log of fire wood. chained saw boardedes out. planed borders really thin. took shaves and mad paper from wood shaves. took wood mad cover and mad a book on how do wood working out peace of fire wood.

What are the materials you are using?
Also how do you make it?
Would you say that this drying method helps prevent wrinkles in the dry paper? The sheets in your video looked quite flat.
What is the white cloth used?
where do u get your big couch sheets from.. the white sheets.. thanks

GDT - Y96 it doesnt take much time or water and the paper is what youve already used at home (mail, newspaper, schoolwork)
