When I met him, he had a kit, and I had always wanted to make paper. Now we've gotten a few extra supplies, but it really doesn't take much. Plus you can recycle any kind of paper that youcome across to make new paper, if it has printing on it or not. One of our favorite things to make is handmade thank-you cards and envelopes. The last time we made them, we embedded seeds into the cards and envelopes. We used stuff we had on hand- yellow-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium bellum), and something else I forget. Probably Calif. poppies. It was tricky getting the seeds to embed into the paper fibers and not float to the top, but we got it to work. We also printed up a few sheets of paper with "Thank You" in a bunch of different fonts and sizes, and tore the sheets into small fragments (large enough to read) and scattered them into the paper as well. I never got any reports back on how well the seed paper worked, but the final product looked good. We just hand wrote the notes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
