Good tutorial. I started making paper with shredded paper. It’s a lot of fun. I like where you explained about the dried flowers and also varnishing the wood on the deckle. Varnishing will definitely make the deckle last longer.

This is what I’ve been looking for! I have been wanting to use the petals on flowers my s/o gives me and this is great! Going to get all the supplies and give it a go!

Lovely video! Only side note: the music was insanely loud at the beginning even with my volumes set to medium-low. x

Hi I really like your video! I was wondering how long this usually takes though?

I want to use these as scrolls for my dnd campaign, would the paper be able to roll up? When I had a failed attempt at making paper it just crumbled :(

Thank you for the tutorial!!! Btw would this be foldable? (As in, will it not tear and hold pretty well?) I'm simply trying to create a nice bifold letter that i can write on

Hi. Will it be fine adding fresh rose petals instead? Thanks

Such a helpful video, thank you!!! Is there a special way you let the paper dry to keep it flat??

@michelleyuenn 3 жыл бұрын

Nope, it usually dries flat by itself. If you’re having issues with it curling, I’ve heard that letting it dry on a more porous surface might help (like a wood board)

@Michelle Yuen 💜ok great thank you!!

@ashes2ashes746 3 ай бұрын

You may be able to place some parchment/wax paper over the top and add some type of weight to it to keep it flat but make sure it can still dry

Should you add lotion to pulp so it stays flexible??

Something went wrong, if we use fresh flowers 🌼

@alyxiajohnson6604 2 жыл бұрын

is there other ways to make the paper into a pulp? i dont have enough money for all the tools like the blender

@mijeongs404 Жыл бұрын

you can use a mortar and pestle to pound the paper into pulp, but i mash mine with my hands and then soak the pulp for another day

Hello! Can someone explain to me why the paper blender can’t be used for food despite washing? I only have one blender at home and would like to try this method. Thank you!

You can but it blunts the blades a bit and are a little hard to clean afterwards. I use an old immersion blender which I think works a lot better. A normal blender if the paper isn't broken down enough can overheat and burnout the blender so don't use fancy expensive ones. You can get immersion blenders really cheap or you don't even have to use a blender at all. Just grab 2 handfuls of paper, squeeze out the water and rub them together.
