How to Make Paper at Home

Part1

Pulping the Paper

 

Attach a sheet of window screen across a wooden frame. Purchase window screen at a hobby shop, and use a pair of sharp shears to cut the screen into a 12 in × 8 in (30 cm × 20 cm) rectangle. Then, place the cut section of screen over a wooden frame. Staple or nail the screen to the outer edges of the frame.

If you don't have a wooden frame, you can make paper using a loose piece of window screen; it'll just be a little more floppy than if it were attached to a frame! This frame is known as a “mould and deckle.”
