Make Your own Paper



You can make your own paper at home. There's always plently of extra newspaper, junk mail and scrap paper around.

Follow these steps.

It's easy, it's fun. The paper can be used for greeting cards, posters, wrapping paper, fine art and much more.

Be creative, not only can you add a personalized water-mark to your paper, you can add dried flowers or even seeds. When you include seeds in your paper your card will sprout seeds once it is buried.

Have fun!
