how do you make recylced paper?

Answer 1

Step one: Make sure it's not used Charmin.

Answer 2

Basically any used paper whose fibers aren't too short (newspaper's way too short as is cereal box cardboard, besides that surface's printing detracts from binding of fibers) is acceptable. You can also add cotton pulp (cotton ball fibers) to help firm up your paper and give it more weight. Also you can use dryer lint. this is great for adding color and a little texture to your paper. And if it is decorative paper, you can add bits of DRIED plants (if you add fresh, your paper will be more apt to mold as it dries).
Once you have shredded your paper and then mulched it in a blender (you want a relatively thick paste, thin it out if you want smoother paper, but not too much or it will fall apart), then you add it to a bath of water, preferribly cold. get a screen mesh as well as some sort of frame to hold it. Get it to the bottom and agitate the water to get the pulp moving. Let it settle and bring slowly up.
Good handmade paper has a nice deckled edge (torn or rough look). At this point you can meddle with the paper to get the deckle how you want it, but I wouldn't mess too much with the body of the pulp unless you are experimenting with adding things into the paper.
Have blotting paper handy (basically two really thick absorbent layers, cardboard can work but you probably want to put a sheet of cloth above and below first. Then you want to press your paper for awile, not too long that it will fester and mold.
Once you can lift your paper without it falling apart, you can either let it air dry for a rougher cold-press feel or you can heat press it for a smoother feel.
