- Hi all! Have you ever wondered what you can do with all that cardboard instead of throwing it away? Well in this video I show you how to recycle it into paper pulp. The pulp can be used in many craft projects. You can use this pulp in paper mache, papercrete , and more! Learn more about papercrete below.

Soak it first, THEN tear it. Much easier.
Very cool, I had never even considered some of these, I was mostly looking for a way to break down cardboard to make composting seedling pots. Thanks!
Use a paper shredder (Sams or Costco). Pick up cardboard from Sams, Costco, Aldi, etc. I use it in my flower beds.
Love this ..have been making papercrete pots myself for almost 2-3 years now …and I must say it’s one of the best thing ever happened..best way to recycle ♻ and reuse ☺ good luck good video 🤩
Great thumbnail choice. Gets me everytime
My pulp
2:46 hewwwww, that saved me from stressing the hell out! Saw that piece and was like... uuuh... hewwww
Tear cardboard into small bits. Soak in water. Stick into a mixer. Mix well. Strain in colander. Voila u have pulp.
Hello. I will being putting in a patio in the front yard. I can't afford the 40 bags of cement. Then poof...your video appeared on my feed within two days!! The universe saved the day! I hear so much about how these are used for walls, but never has anybody said anything about stepping stones. I want to do the stepping stones and I believe if they are sealed properly from water shouldn't this work? This is the form I want to use and I believe if the bricks are small like this shouldn't they be more more sturdy?
Cobblestone concrete mold
I have not used them as stepping stones, but I think it would work. You might want to add fibers to reinforce them and make them stronger. I will have to make a stepping stone video and test it out. :)
This will not last stepping stones. No amount of sealing will prevent this material from rotting once its wet
@@charsnest147 , how have the faux rocks you made held up? Obviously, the negative comment doesn't understand that it's paper concrete and not paper mache. The only horror story I heard was exploding bricks that were drying when it snowed. Those people with the house and business that flooded in Crestone said that the walls dried out and needed more stucco. They didn't fall apart or rot though as far as I know. If you know different let us know!
Newsprint is even better for detail because the fibers are less coarse and it's lint free to keep the massive printers from clogging. This makes them great for windows and mirror cleaning. Use a paper shredder, it's faster.
I may try a shredded junk mail & cardboard mix and maybe throw in a Sunday paper which we don't get often.
Thanks for sharing your method😊
How long can you store it if you made too much? This is a wonderful DIY and I am now a subscriber!
Hi, Has anyone tried using a joint compound stirrer or paint stirrer attachment on a drill to shred the cardboard in the 5 gallon bucket?
There should be something like a paint stirrer where sharpen the blades with a bastard file, it should shred with a fast drill.
Yes that’s how I do it. I soak bigger pcs of cardboard and soak over night. Then if the paint stirrer doesn’t go through the thicker ones, I reach in and tear them up. Works great.
So beautiful dear friend your ideas
Hi. Friend,
Pl tell me how i can preserve pulp before using it to make planter pots.
How long can i preserve?
very nice nice my friend
Good luck and more success
Can you take the pulp and use something to form it and let it dry I'd probably make it about 3/16 in. thick? Will it then hold that form without adding the concrete etc. Just the pulp . I'm trying to make a cardboard headliner for an antique truck I have.
beautiful.
Thank you so much!
I have seen a lot of "cement mushrooms" on diy videos and I am wondering if this is what they are using as they don't give a list of materials. Or, will cement alone work? Thanks for sharing and giving the recipe!
Will this work with all forms of cardboard or just corrugated?
it will work with all forms of cardboard, probably water will take longer to get absorbed if the cardboard has barnish/glossy inks on it.
Hi
I used empty tissue paper rolls.
Pl tell me how to preserve pulp.
In fridge?
God bless u.
I can make pots with this.
I have been using styrofoam and cement.
To preserve it, just spread it out flat and thin and let it dry completely. Should last virtually forever. Then just soak in water when you want to use it. Without any binders such as glue, it should fall right back apart and be a usable pulp again.
TurtleDudeProd- Hey, thanks so much for taking your time to answer this question. I really appreciate it. Have a good day! 😊
The pulp should keep well if packed into plastic bags an kept frozen.
How firm does this pulp become once it dries? I'm in the middle of making a cardboard photobox and I've been looking for a way to fill in numerous gaps that are at the base of the box. I was told paper mache may be the best solution, but then I found this, and I feel like this pulp made from cardboard would be better to use since the rest of the box is also cardboard.
(my concern is whether or not I'll be able to sand the dried pulp, and I'm also slightly worried about how it may hold up long term)
Can you add a layer of the papercrete to a finished object?
What model blender did you use?
That’s a Ninja

Can hardend without cement and just the card board and perlite??
No, the cement makes is durable for outdoors.
You can use glue instead of cement, to make it stick together, but then it is not papercrete, it is a different thing. Still very useful though.
Can you mix in paper also?
Yes
I have boiled the water and used cold water.. Why cant I get this right..
Hello
Anybody has any idea on how to make handmade sheets thicker?
I've got a little blender, me K-Lee and Molly Brown need a larger one, don't we Molly?
She says, you can bleedat 😅🗝️✌️🤠n
How much does that bucket make of sheets of paper?
....
This one is very similar to mine, but I made a small automatic one. If you are interested, you can check out the video I posted.
Mi licuadora se revienta si hago eso ☹️
SI. QUE SAVE PROMOBERCE ????.....
My wife will not let me use the blender for this.😂
Hahha I was just thinking that. Ill have to watch Buy Nothing for one. I need one for crafts and one for the garden
In China they use this in meat pies 🤢
😂😂😂😂😂
dead center of screen = crotch lol

This video could have been shortened by half. I know how to pour water into a bowl, use a mixer, tear cardboard into pieces. I wanted the recipe for biodegradable mache.
3 parts pulp, 2 parts cement, 1 part perlite or sand, 100% quit your bitching
You could always watch it sped up, some of us like the long video...if you just wanted a recipe you could just google it and save yourself the trouble of watching the video. 🤔
Rude ungrateful b1111111111ch😮
@@charlottesmomright! They found exactly what they were looking for and still had the nerve to complain
It’s her video. She can do what she wants. She’s sharing something good, and you’re criticizing her.
I hope you make a video and get the same treatment you gave her.
But you won’t, because you’d rather be harmful than helpful.
Is that water? How much?
There is no special amount. Just put enough to make it soupy and easier to blend. You're just going to squeeze the water out anyways.
Yes, for the blending, add as much is needed to make a pulp. You will strain it later.
