Thank you for showing all the steps! I like having the choice of watching all the steps or skipping ahead or slowing down or speeding up the video as needed. Great video, as always! 😘

Good demo! Instead of tossing the used paper towels, you could always either let them dry/reuse them, and/or tear them up to make more paper!

Great job for a first time. I love that the one has a couple of words in the middle, makes me think of deliberately dropping words in like "love" all over it.

I appreciate you sharing all the steps and not editing them out. Thanks! 😊

What a great idea. Lol hubby said oh no you going to need another kitchen.

This was awesome. my mom use to have a kit to make homemade paper but I love this idea. This will be such a fun craft to do with my 11 year old daughter who loves to craft with me!!! I just need a old blender since the one I have I use almost everyday for smoothies so that won't work, thrift store here I come!!

Thank you so much for showing all the steps. This is an awesome project💕💕💕💕💕💕

Oh wow, I love how the paper turned out. I especially like the edges

The paper looks great - nice and organic. Thanks for sharing

Your paper looks great! When I worked a paper mill, they used to dry some of the paper on glass like a window pane. Then I would go home and use a Japanese vegetable steamer with a fine mesh on the bottom to form the paper pages. Then we put handiwipes between each page and leave them to dry under a stack of heavy books. That was in the '90's before they had microfiber towels.😂

Love the papers. You go for it. I don’t know if I’m that committed to making my own paper. Lol 😂

I got on a paper making kick a couple of yrs ago. my husband made me a whole lot of screens so I could make a lot of paper faster. For the past couple of yrs, every flower I get...a gift bouquet or just flowers from the garden....I let them dry naturally and I have been keeping all of them in paper bags for the next time I make paper. I will crumble them up and let them be part of the paper. I love what you did and I think it is great that you did this tutorial. Nice!! :o)

Awesome instructions and results! Thank you!

Loved the process dear , thank you so much for sharing !!🤗❤ I gotta say when you dropped the pink in my jaw dropped it came out soooo purdy 🥰

You are making me want to make paper again, haven’t done it in years. I think when I did it I used a cookie sheet over a basin, put the deckle on top of that and poured the pulp over it. Then put another screen over it to push some of the water down into the basin. Dipping it the way you did might result in more even coverage, but I don’t remember my paper being clumpy. Using the picture frames is a brilliant idea. You could use different shaped frames or anything that would made an outline to make different shaped papers, too. I remember learning all this from a craft show on HGTV when it first started in the early 90s, and I used junk mail to make the paper. I like how you used the book block left over from the cover you used for the journal. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the paper!

I am just loving your channel and tutorials!!!

I taught paper making and used couching made from quilt liners made of flannel which worked out advantageous for sucking up the water. The couch is folded to about 2 inches thickness and slightly bigger than the paper itself. Also try to use wrapping paper and colored paper the pink and blue papers give lovely results.

Omgosh Jessica .. this was an Awesome Video!!🥰🥰 I had No idea you could make your own Paper. 🤯 Once my New Crafting Area is all setup.. I'm definitely gonna give this a try. TY for taking the Time to show us the Whole Process!! I really Appreciate that. Have a Great Day & Take Care!! 🤗😊 TFS!!🥰🥰🥰

This was awesome💕! Thank you for sharing in real time🤗💗!

for a first try, this is impressive and a real success! i've watched a few videos on how to handmake paper and yours are by far the best result i've seen!

Well you did a great job for your first time I believe you can tear up the paper towels and put them in your blender after they soak

Oh my goodness!!! You are just awesome! I love that you're taking the time to do each step in such detail and really teach us! I cannot wait to make a journal! Thank you so much for all of your hard work and your willingness to share!

Beautiful work of art

great demo😄 thank you for showing/sharing this!

I loved what you did iv seen a few videos on paper making and I must say your tutorial is the best I have come across!!! But I must add I am so glad I came across you and your tutorials, im am feed up with digital prints Its good to see you using simple inexpensive bits and pieces in your journals it makes them look real and your own creativity then digital prints.... don't get me wrong I like digital prints but too many tutorials use them and im bored with their methods of usage....so it's refreshing to see you and your tutorials thank you so much for sharing all your ideas and the way you present them 🤔👍🙂❤️

I love this idea. maybe I'll try it someday.

The handmade paper turned out beautiful. Great tutorial as always. Thanks for sharing with us!

Your papers turned out awesome! I've always wanted to try this, so I will need to soon! I look forward to seeing the tags that you make with them! Thanks for sharing! Hugs, Kim

OMG This is suuuuuuch a great idea! What a fun project you are making! This series is so so so cool!

I love the papers, so now I have to go and try this. Yes hang those wet paper towel out or just grind them up to re-use. That way you are not feeling like you are wasting them. I was wondering how magazines would work, since they are kinda glossy, I am not sure if they would work, but they have a lot of color in them. I will have to try it and see.. Thats what is so fun, just trying new things.

I tried making paper but I always fail but this time I hope your tips help me...... Anyways one thing to talk about is definitely your voice ,I don't know but I find it so soothing to me.....🤤

Vary nice I did some paper as well usibg egg cartons turned out not so bad was fun

Oh how cool! I was just asking how would I use my garden rose petals for handmade paper. Perfect timing! Thank you Jessica

Jessica these turned out amazing!

Thank you for sharing 👍✌️🙏❤️

Pretty awesome video! Thanks for sharing 🌴😍

The handmade paper looks great! I am tempting to try but I really don't like mess. It is a great tutorial though.

They came out great 👍

That looked like fun!

This is my second time around. I wanted to tell anyone who might come after me. I got a brand new blender on Facebook marketplace for 10.00 to use only for this incredible hand made paper making process 🍃💕

I was always so intimidated by the paper making process but watching your video makes me want to try!! Loving this challenge. Thank you for all you do!!

I tried this over the weekend and LOVED the results. Cant wait to make another batch! Thanks for the tutorial

I mix the pulp in the blender, making sure it's very thin. Then simply pour mixture over the screen in an old door. Continue mixing/blending batches and putting over the screen. Leave in a sunny location to dry. Tons of homemade paper, quick and easy!!

Wow, impressed. Great job! You make great vids!

Great diy! I thought paper making would be a lot harder!! My g/s and I will give this a try!

you can use the wet paper towels in your next batch of pulp, we done, I have always left them on the screen to dry. I like that you can turn it out on the fabric

That is very cool.. I want to make some now TFS 👍🏻

This is awesome! I cant wait to give this a try. Thank you and have a blessed day 🙂.

Wow, this is wonderful!! I almost a frame already created on Amazon but now I know how to make one myself!! Thanx so much!

This looks like so much fun! Thanks for sharing, I hope to attempt this in the future.

Excellent tutorial. Creative without fussiness. Affordable and great results.

What a great video. Thanks so much. You made it seem easy enough that I think I will finally give paper making a try. I never wanted to mess with the tray and mesh, etc. but the DT frames worked great.

Love how your paper turned out. I never thought of using an iron on it. I made paper like 30 years ago and used the same blender I used for food, I just washed it out really good with a brush and hot soapy water. How many people here never ate paper as a kid, or at least balled it up and put it in their mouth (remember spit balls?). I have used things like dried flowers, coffee grounds, tea leaves, but never tried paint as I used colored pages. I always dried it outside and only used one frame. I'm actually in the process of saving paper from my shredder and going through and shredding old papers/bills not needed anymore. Looking forward to doing this again. I have an old broken frame now just need some screen. ☺♥

That was so awesome. I really appreciate you leaving all the details in. I’ve wanted to try making paper but was a little apprehensive. Not now. Thank you!!

Hey Liz my thought to about the paper towel.

Love handmade paper. I have been trying to make my own paper with my kids and this video is perfect for us to watch before making it. Thank you very much for sharing this video. It's fun. 🤩

LOVE THIS!!!!!!

Very cool! I've been thinking of making paper. Found a piece of screen a while back and still have not done a thing with it. Your tutorial was very clear!! Thank you! xx

Hello Jessica! Awesome video, your had made paper is fabulous! This has been on my bucket list of things to do and my husband even made me a deckle to use so hopefully soon I will make some paper. Thanks for the video, take care!

O M G😍😍This looks so fun!! You are a great teacher and I’m loving these videos. Thank you for sharing, I’m gonna try this.💗✨

Super cool... Gonna try...

This is so cool! Thanks so much for sharing this 😍🌻

Awesome!

Good demo! The used paper towels could be dried and saved for more paper making😉😍

Came out awesome. I'm in the middle of getting ready to do some tomorrow. Hope mine come out as thin as yours

Wauw that is so nice 😍

Wow I did not know you changed you name on here aka a rebrand lol awesome! I'm thinking about doing the same thing so that's inspiring

Interesting work

I think it's better to use a large sponge, like those automobile detailing sponges to absorb the water and maybe old sheets cut down to a good size instead of paper napkins only because i think it's abig waste of paper towels and you would need a good amount of cloth to keep absorbing the water. Just my humble opinion 😁

Greetings from Calgary, New subscriber here, great videos and tutorials really enjoying your channel, Enjoy your day 💕

You can also use dryer lint.

Thank for video they look great . Can you tell me if they crack when you fold them ?

I wonder if you could use the shreddy results of shredding paper which you could then chop up.

oh man I am going to be saving all my scraps now. How does magazine pages work?

Try dried herbs, like thyme or rosemary

Awesome papers! Thanks for sharing! Can you possibly let us know names of people you watched doing hear papers.? Thanks

Oh, you answered my quetion

Maybe this has been said already, but you could shred your paper in a paper shredder also.

omg! these r fabulous! will u b scanning and putting in ur shop by chance? 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Will cheesecloth work or is it the same as muslin? During the summers here one can fry an egg on the hood of your car. Now I have a good use for the hood of my car instead of eggs. Thanks for the full video. You made it look easy!

Dollar tree also has these mesh pan covers would those work?

This is so cool! I can’t wait to try this, I’ve always wanted to make my own papers 💗

This is such a cool tutorial! I always wondered how to make paper. Quick question: I have a crisscross cut paper shedder, can I use the paper I shredded instead of tearing paper into small pieces myself? Please let me know. Thank you!🌸

We have a paper shredder at our office, cross cut into small pieces. Could you use that?

I wonder how it would work if you put the paper through your paper shredder vs. hand ripping?

Can you use the paper towel that soaked up the water ,reuse it by adding it to the next batch of paper you make? Or would paper towel not work?

I know you started out with the white then pink then blue but how did you get the coffee colored ones at the end? 💕💕💕💕💕

Just curious... would spraying sizing on before ironing work? 🤗💕🦋

Do you put your flower petals after the blender part so they don’t get to tore up?

I tried with the picture frame and my paper come out really thin. I like it but I’m looking for a thicker consistency. Thanks for this great video! 💞😊

How do you spell the name of the stuff you mentioned to add to make it last longer, thanks

I remembered my Mom make some elaborate paper molds and she used corn starch, which you can get at dollar tree. The sizing essentials keeps the moisture from clinging to the paper. I found this suggestion online... Cornstarch or arrowroot size: Mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch or arrowroot with a small amount of cold water to evenly wet it, then add 1 cup boiling water. Spray starch may also be used to size paper. In each case brush the size evenly on paper.www.lloydgodman.net/tech/tech/Alternative/alt3A.html#:~:text=Cornstarch%20or%20arrowroot%20size%3A,the%20size%20evenly%20on%20paper.

gorilla tape is waterproof and will stop the staples from rusting.

Could you do this with toilet paper?

I bet it would be uber cheap to get a used blender from a thrift store if you don't have one yourself. Just make sure to try it before you buy it since it's not usually refundable from a place like that.

I love that you showed us all the steps....that being said, Do you have some for sell on Esty? 😉 Love the one with flowers added

I’ve been wanting to make my own paper. I have what I need except the screen. Here’s my journal completed: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9V7a5amp76wo4k.html. Thanks for the fun challenge!

Try dried herbs, like thyme or rosemary
