Paper Making

Today we began making our own paper. Over the last week we have been collecting scrap paper to recycle into our own paper. Each day we have been taking turns to rip the paper into small pieces to be ready to soak. 

After a long day soaking in warm water, we blended the paper in an old blender to make a pulp. 

With Mrs Foley, and some Room 7 parent helpers we go stuck in working with a buddy to make our paper. We added leaves and flowers for colour. 

It will take three to five days for our paper to dry before we can use it. 

We look forward to adapting our method and experimenting with colours and textures, as we making paper throughout the term. 

If you would like to give paper making a go at home, here is a link for instructions:
