Homemade paper

I have been searching used blender high and low; been asking around but unfortunately none. Friends were wondering my obsession on the second hand blender. I can just purchase a new one; but why should I waste. I need it for my craft project. Last week I happened to be in a shop selling second hand items & to my excitement I found one at a very reasonable price. Without hesitation nor thinking twice, I grabbed it. Finally, after a long wait I got it *=*.... Rushed home, unpacked my "baby", prepared all the necessary then there you go.... Let the project begin.....hahhaaaaha. I would like to share some photos how I make my own homemade paper using used paper. In fact you can use any type of paper, envelope, boxes or tissue. So far I only use 80gsm paper. The process was easy and only took me an hour to produce 9 round sheets of paper. You can make you own too. Try it & enjoy!!!!

RM39.50 only!!!!!!
Working great!!!!

Used 7 sheets of A4 paper; tore into small pieces.

Added 3/4 water.

This is how the ground paper look like.
The texture was smoother compare my 1st experiment without using blender.
I added some dry leaves too (optional).

Prepare clean water.

Corn starch.
If you intend to write on  the paper mix some liquid starch into water.

Liquid starch.

Pour liquid starch onto the filled basin. Stir. Pour ground paper.
Dip the strainer into the water.
I don't own a square frame; alternatively I use round strainer.

Scoop the residue. Drain it.

You can use sponge to absorb the remaining water.
In my case I let the water drain completely; turn the strainer & gently tap the screen to detach the paper.
Let it dry in room temperature or under the hot sun. You can use iron too but ensure to cover with cloth before ironing.

It was not completely dry so I left it dry overnight.

Produced sheets of paper.

I use net to get this texture.
Press with hot iron & leave overnight.
Remove the net when it dries.
