the plastics from the paperplastic looks like a cold laminating that usually used for making the printing last longer. that is a very thin plastic and you can write on that. maybe that's the reason the paperplastic worked well... also the paperplastic looks pretty good for a wrapping paper :D

"is this what the ocean feels like cause it kinda seems like it is" haha rip

Hi! Loved the video, here in Brazil we also get milk boxes/cartons to build dog/cat houses!!! We just use the box as a brick, and it works pretty well with rain, since its coveres in a thin layer of plastic

I wonder if you could cut the carton into larger pieces before separating them. Might cut down on work. Also those plastic pieces would make a really cool paper lamp shade! Loved the video and impressed with all the hard work you put into it!

I was inspired by your challenge! And discovered that You can strip foil first then LET boil or soak foil and plastic paper in big pcs. Then rub the paper away with fingers or an old toothbrush from plastic and from foil!

I can't believe it worked! I kinda love the look of the plastic paper!

I think the paper with the plastic in it would be wonderful for scrapbooking.

No but the amount of work that went into this video haha. I absolutely loved everything about this!! Could this become a new series 👀

Lisa, thanks for doing the experimenting for us. I liked both the first and second sheets of paper. The ones with plastic looked very artistic, like you planned them that way. They would look good as a background in a frame or maybe the background of handmade cards. Also, I would cut the carton open and leave it intact before you pour boiling water on it. Then you can peel off large pieces of foil or plastic. Beautiful video!

LOVE THIS VIDEO! The paper plastic is super cool, I love recycling and journal making/book making and I feel this could be great for end papers. What a good way to stop a waste product going to landfill x

The good thing about foil in your blender is more chance of sharpening yr blades just like cutting foil with basic scissors can sharpen too !✂️🤩

the stickyness is likely the glue and it probably working as a kind of sizing in the finished paper. you might be able to get the plastic layers to peel in whole sheets if you cut the edges and soak it for a day, letting the cut edges wick the water in to break the layers apart. I used to do something similar with pringles tubes. you could also use a stiff bristled brush to scrub the printed side and the aluminized liner to remove nearly all the pulp from them.

I love this video... the color of the paper made from the cardboard parts is just beautiful and the one with plastic looks surprisingly artsy, it would be nice as a cover of a notebook or a box or something. Your determination of trying even feeling "unsafe" feels very inspiring to me! I've watched a few videos about making paper and this one really made me want to try it out, since I'm a big recycling enthusiast. p.s.: the sponge was doing it's job so it's more than okay haha Cheers from Brazil💖

The new will it bread: will it pulp?

It's nice to see the pro's oooops now and gain. LOL...makes me feel not so bad when I ooooops!!! HeHeHe

That sponge is not ugly. It's just 'experienced' ....and maybe a little worn out

This is perfect! Im usually always learning and practicing something new so I need a lot of paper, doing this will help my wallet and the planet. I recommend people that do similar things to try this out, it’s amazing!

I think that the plastic paper would make a good paper to make art on. I think it would probably take to paint pretty well lol. Maybe that would be a good idea for a use for that paper. Maybe you could turn it into the cover of the journal with a really nice picture on it.😊

It's called a "spout". This was a cool experiment. the plastic/aluminum paper would make a nice matting for a picture in frame.

I really adore making less than functional paper with all that aluminum you can make some really gorgeous sheets by embedding it into more traditional pulp I wouldda mixed pulp 1 and 2 together and press the foil into various sheets

Watching this was really satisfying for some reason... The plastic paper looks really cool... I'm getting inspired to try this... Thank you so much all the hard work u put into making the vid

Awesome!! Love the brown paper more than the plastic one, but extra kudos for the effort!!! I never thought of ironing the paper sheets before peeling them off... I'll definitely try it! Thanks so much for sharing! Watching you peel off the paper was soooooooo satisfying eventhough I wasn't the one doing it! 😂

Lol, next time you know to soak the boxes before you cut them! I would also suggest taking some steel wool to the plastic and foil layers to separate the pulp after soaking. The stickiness is probably and adhesive or binder.

This is so awesome, I can recycle and make paper! Thank you for this idea 👏

your process is so clean! I just made my second attempt at papermaking yesterday and i came to your channel for tips moving forward and im so blown away by how pleasant your process looks ahaha

Totally love & inspired by your tutorial and production of beautiful recycled papers!! Thank you & keep it Up!! :D

Thank you so much Lisa, I really really enjoyed watching you create this beautiful and gorgeous paper from milk carton’s. It’s amazing the plastic paper, was really really awesome too. I really really love ❤️ both, but the bits in the plastic paper is really really cool too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤

This is so inspiring whaaa??! I want to do this with junk mail, thanks for all the tips!!

Such a great channel! Thank you for all the clear common sense demos. 💗

I really enjoyed this experiment of yours thanks so much for doing it and for sharing it with us

Thank you got me all inspired to recycle ♻️😁😄

I like the plastic pieces look! Love watching your videos 🤗

I really appreciate your experiments. Thank you.

I think the fact that you recycled plastic and made it something beautiful is awesome.

11:36 'there's plastic floating around. This is what the ocean feels like' Suddenly I feel sad 😥

I just found your channel and am inspired! I'd like to see a video on using different screens. What material works best as a screen and what texture they produce... I might just buy a few pieces of material and try it myself but I'm fascinated!

You could glue 2 of the caps together by the insides so the caps open on the end, maybe put a divider of some kind in between. Then you have a little 2 sided container and you could even modle clay to all the parts so they still separate and make anything.

I think it was a success, 2 out of 3 isn't bad. I'm not going to try it but I liked it. Yes I would like to see more of this.

inspired by your experimentation, thank you for this

I think the "plastic paper" was kinda cool though. Like recycled polluted paper XD

Very Nice experiment!❤Thank you for sharing.

You worked so hard!

This is brilliant! Thank you 🌻

Wow! That’s so cool! Thank you for thinking of and experimenting for us!! Makes a me excited to give it a try!! Ps…you are beautiful!

I love your content!

i love your videos they are soo helpful

Love it! ❤

I think you can soak the uncut boxes first so you can peel it all of easily

Maybe you could try a softer pencil next time. What you used looked like a 2H or HB in the best case. A 2B or 4B pencil could work maybe

This is great. Very informative. Thank you! I appreciate that you show the failures as well as the successes of doing this. After watching your experience I’d probably try cutting the carton into four large pieces to soak them, then try to preserve the foil for another project. FYI for people who don’t have a blender: I’ve made some decent paper using an immersion blender. I put the soaked paper pieces into the bin, with plenty of water, and blend it in there. Worked fine.

Learnt so much thank you 🙏🏻

Love all your videos

U could have strained the pulp+water mix that had plastic bc the plastic wouldve stick inside the strainer

It would be more effective soak in in one piece, separate and cut it after... it's just an idea, as I see your video... But a very good idea to use milk "carton" too, I've a lot of them too, and before lunchtime I saw your re-paper video, now I got this video tip from KZfaq, searching after subscribed. Thanks for this idea!

Thank you for sharing this! I’ve been really into watching paper making videos and would love to try paper making. You gave me an idea what to do with my milk cartons next time. By the way, do you think it would be easier to soften and peel the milk cartons and separate the layers if they were not cut into small pieces? Since u struggled in 3:27 of ur video I just want to confirm if it would be easier if they’re not pieces by piece 😅 Lastly, I’m so thankful for this vid! ❤️

Hey you could have tried letting the diluted plastic mixture sit. Plastic coating would have floated but pulp would have settled down. Removing plastic from top and then agitate the mixture again and let it sit. Repeating this process would remove most of the plastic from pulp.

Wow thanks for the video. Learned a lot

Wow, great job

Lisa your smile is so beautiful!

The pencil test may have been that way because of the pencil hardness

Hardwork 🦾😌😍

I LOVE YOU, Lisa 😻❤️

That plastic could probably be fused together to make a book cover

WOW!

i’ve seen some people make earrings out of plastic maybe u can try to make some with the plastic openings of the milk carton 🤠

Ok ok hear me out, what if you use the middle and outside pulp togueter? Maybe it will be as writable as the brown paper and resistant as the plastic paper... or it could be really bad 😅

You're amazing! Will it be quicker if they were cut into bigger pieces? Again thanks for sharing your ideas!! :)

i used to use paper plastic, as it was recycled from plastic. it was pretty nice and smooth

Would it be feasible to cut them into four big pieces and then soak it? So you don't have to pull about all the tiny pieces.

Dang I want that handwriting style

if you'd le.ft the boxes in strips, they'd still soak up water & separate but would be much easier to pull apart. you might even be able to scrape cardboard off the inner lining.

Will a hand mixer(electric) work to pulp?

what a beautiful Pen nice designs

I wonder if you could seive out the big bits of plastic, if you had a seive with large enough holes for the pulp to fall through

You should try plastic grocery bags. I think that could possibly work but idk😂

Amazing.

Amazing experiment; thanks so much for creating this. So I guess this means these cartons aren't recyclable? Can't imagine how an industrial paper recycling mill would contend with all the aluminium and plastic you encountered.

What do you do with the left over water when you are done using the pulp?

Can we use it as watercolor paper?

Did you try acrylic paint? As for the plastic paper I wonder if there was adhesives blended in to hold it all together so nicely. I really liked that plastic paper.

So what if mix the two pulp together, maybe the paper comes out can hold the link? Btw really love ur contenttttttt❤️

Nice presentation. What was the white backing you used to dry the papers? Was it cloth?

💙💙💙

Wow awesome Maybe it’s stick because of the glue they use , it would be interesting to see if it would stick to something Loved the experiment 😁

Can you do a video on how to store flowers in diary

What kind of drying rack is that?

I love how you make papers! can you please tell the tools you use, especially the thing you use to gather the pulp from the water to make paper?

Would any cardboard work like boxes or cereal boxes ect like that?

How do you dispose of the other bits that did not work?

Maybe you could just make a collage with the foil...

What if you pass the pulp throught a sieve, to get the plastic peaces out? And the aluminum foil pulp could make wrap paper for gifts or collage paper or kind off.

Thankj you , perhaps the plastic paper would make beautiful cover paper for a journal made of the other cardoard sheets.

I have a Q- can we add some pulping chemical for better making?

Will lawn clippings paper?

Packs like this are made of layers of plastic, thin metal, and paper. Just cut the packs into larger parts and soak them for a while. then you can separate the layers. I think the company is called tetra pack.

what blender do you have? :D

Would that go through the shredder?

This seem like a lot of additional work when there is a lot of discarded paper that is much easier to pulp and recycle.

Loved this idea, can I ask what the white fabric you’re putting the pulp onto to dry is please?

When I recycled some junk mail along with toilet paper tubes, the resulting paper had plastic pieces in it, but they seemed to float to the surface of the paper, and I was able to pick them out once the paper dried. Don't know if that helps.
