We made homemade paper at a class with Mrs. Autumn's Girl Scout group. We used one business size envelope and part of a napkin and various other things. We put it in a blender and then we poured two cups of water over the mixture and blended it. After we pressed the water out of the paper, most of the girls pressed other things like flowers or beans into their paper. Mrs. Autumn worked on drying the paper with an iron. One of the things we learned is that anything we can tear, we can use to make paper. There was some trial and error with a few of the ingredients, but everything turned out pretty well. Everyone got to make one sheet of paper, and then the teacher showed us how to use a paper mold. I want to get an old blender and the stuff to make paper. I had a lot of fun.
