Today after tidying up craft corner I decided to make homemade paper. Good weather for a fun activity. Earlier I had posted the technique of making paper from home. This time I would like to share with you how I make coloured paper. Try it & have fun! Enjoy the pictures!
 |
| Last week I got this orange roses for free from my favourite florist. I always receive extra flowers every time I go to the shop. Lucky me!!! I should consider working part-time & take the opportunity to learn flower arrangement ;p I use these petals for this project. |
 |
| I need used white paper. Tear into pieces. |
 |
| I need small amount of coloured paper. I chose orange & red. |
 |
| Dried rose petals. |
 |
| Put the pieces of paper into the blender. |
 |
| Pour water. Blend it! |
 |
| Add coloured paper. |
 | ||
The amount of coloured paper I used. Blend it!
|
 |
| Looked like strawberry smoothies! Thought of doing something different! Added orange peeled. Blend. |
 |
| Add dried rose petals. Blend for a while. I want the effect on the paper. |
 |
| In the other hand, prepare water in a basin. Add liquid starch. |
 |
| Stir well. Pour blended paper. |
 |
| Stir the mixture. |
 |
| Use strainer to scoop out the mixture. Drain! Leave until no more dripping water. |
 |
| Turn strainer backward to detach paper. |
 |
| I can't wait; I used iron to half dry it. You can use sponge to absorb excess water. Personally I don't like using sponge. Dry it under the sun. |
 |
| Manage to produce 8 sheets of coloured homemade paper. Ready to be used. |
 |
| Look closely! Can you see the orange peeled? |
