How to Make Paper

Have you ever wanted to know how paper is made? Paper is often made with machines in big mills. But you can make your own paper at home or school. You just need a few supplies and some help from an adult.

Here are the supplies you will need: 1 Newspaper 2 Sponge 3 Wire hanger 4 Old paper (cards, magazines, newspaper, paper bags, etc. ) 5 Old pair of pantyhose 6 Flat pan (9” x 13" ) 7 2 pieces of felt 8 Scissors 9 Blender 10 Water

The first step to making paper is to find old paper. Rip the paper into small pieces. Rip enough paper to fill one cup.

Second, put all the paper pieces in a blender. Pour three cups of warm water into the blender. Blend the paper and water on high for ten seconds.

The paper and water will turn into pulp. The pulp should look like thick soup.
