- I finally made my own handmade paper! I was so intimidated by other tutorials using a deckle that I didn't think I could do it...but hey, I figured it out!
It's been a while since my last video...school started and I took some time to chill, but I am inspired to make more videos now. Sometimes you can get into a bit of a slump, but I have lots of ideas waiting to be filmed and edited 📸
If you're reading this, thank you, and I hope you have a great rest of your day (hopefully including some paper making 😉).
mesh bags similar to the one I used: www.amazon.com...

✨ Answering some FAQ's:
Cleaning the blender is not hard at all! Everything comes off easily on its own, and rinsing it with a bit of soap cleans everything thoroughly. It's just paper, water, and food coloring, so nothing toxic to worry about.
If you don't have a mesh bag, you could use cheese cloth, fine metal mesh, or even a piece of fabric. Just something that you sponge the water off of.
Also, if you don't have a blender or don't want to use one, soaking the paper in water for a few hours will soften it, and then you can use your hands to mush it into pulp. I hope this helps! Thank you for all your lovely comments! 😊
Can I really mush it correctly?
I mean would it get wrong?
@@littlefreakashie I'm sure you will do a great job mushing, but of course you will get even better with practice. You could also cut up your paper before soaking if you want to ensure maximum mushiness!
@@thegreenestlaw thank you for replying, I will try it soon
Heyy! Can I use this for my project? I'll put this video in the reference list. Also, can you mix it finely without a blender?? And in other tutorials, they said to soak it. Should I still do it or is there no need for that??
@@DGXD-te3iq Of course you can use this video! And yes, you can do it without a blender. You'll want to soak it so that the paper gets soft, and then mix it up the best you can with your hands. I hope your project goes well!
u blending your school notes is literally a mood😭😭😭💀
haha!! yes...it felt very good 😂
@@thegreenestlaw I bet u were like "you gave me enough of suffer...now it's ur turn muahahahaha"
@@Lilith841 HAH something like that... 😏
It’s so satisfying to basically ruin paper that made your life heck to make new paper 😭
okay, who else thought the sponge looked like a piece of toast....just me? okay.
haha!! now whenever I was the dishes I will think of toast... 🍞
honestly lol soft bread or hell yeah some toast will do LMAO haha thought the same thing !
Me
Me too! I thought what in the world. This is new. lol
Haha! Same!
I am crying. If my notes looked that pretty I could never just tear them up!!!
hahah thank you! I didn't really have a use for them anymore so they were given a new life 😊
@@thegreenestlaw I mean that makes more sense🤷🏼♀️ I am a hoarder 😂
Hahahah if I would buy I will be not tearing them because I also knew that's expensive
this is an older video, but i wanted to throw out there that in regards to the flowers, you can add them to the actual pulp and it makes it so that it essentially is a part of the paper. i don't know if it was mentioned, but i wanted to throw it out there. lovely video anyway, i'm gonna try it out soon.
thank you, that is a great idea! I did not mention it in the video, so thanks for pointing that out!
I was hoping she would comment on any scent the lavender gave to the paper, or any scent the paper inherently had from the notes/ink.
Me in quarantine looking for things to do: 👁👄👁 “ooh I should make some homemade paper!”
My mom: What the-
hah that's exactly what my parents said too! they were kinda confused but thought it was cool 😂
Love ur pfp
Nice,
I covered it with a towel and used a rolling pin to flatten it while it was still wet
omg - genius! I will try that, thank you!
"From all the stress of last year" is exactly my thought when i try to recycle all these old papers from school. Love your videos so much!!
hah yes!! love doing that...thank you so much!
Love seeing the first attempt and how you resolve the issues. The lavender looks great! Another coolo video.
hehe there are probably still bits of paper on the floor 🤪
I tried your method and it worked!! I've been wanting to make paper for weeks but was having trouble finding stuff to make a mould and deckle. I ended up using mesh from a guy's bathing suit and a circular baking pan to make circle paper. Thank you for this!
omg yay, that's amazing! I'm so glad this was helpful!
I think the first method would work if you put the mesh in a picture frame! That’s basically what a deckle is anyway. Also, flat-dried flower petals work great in the paper!
omg that's such a good idea, thank you! ooh and I will try that with flowers next time 🌸
Wow! I can’t wait to try out this method! Thanks!
yay I hope it works well for you! 🥰
im glad i found this! im going to have to wait for a sunny day to try it but im excited!
I hope it goes well! 😊
I put my dried flowers in a mortar & flattening them up slightly with the pestal. Then add it 2 the pulp & let it dry.
that sounds like a much better idea, thank you! I will try that next time!
Add flowers to blended pulp, mix in and then proceed to awesome improvised method of tray, mesh so on Spectacular!
awesome, thanks for the tips!
Very creative and you taught me a new word (trigonometric). I'm making my Christmas cards this year and was very excited to see this video! Thank you for sharing this!
omg that's such a good idea to use for Christmas cards - I was wondering what I should do and now I know! thank you so much for your comment!
Leafy Vegan did you use them for christmas cards? :)
@@larsani410 yes, I did! and everyone loved them!
Omg!!!!! I have this project for Ancient China, and I have to make paper. I have tried 20 different types of recipes and this one is the one I know it!! It looks amazing. Thank you sooooooooo much!!!
woah that's so cool, I'm so glad this video helped! good luck on your project!
I love how this goes step by step and is so easy to follow
so glad it's helpful!
it feels so special when I get recommended a video from a small channel, i love this video so much
I feel the same way, I'm so glad you like it!
My teacher put this video in our class and it is so satisfatory see this video im so relax
omg this comment made my day!! what class did you watch it in?
tip u can also flatiron the paper it makes it smoother and dry faster
oh thank you! do I need to protect it with something, or just iron straight on the paper?
u can do both but put on low heat so it wont burn
Excellent video, very helpful. Thanks for sharing and I hope you did great in your studies.
thank you so much, glad it was helpful!
What an amazing idea! We love an environmentally friendly queen! ❤️
haha thank you! I try to be 😂
I tried this and omg its the best video i have seen so far keep up the good work! :)
I'm so glad it was helpful!
thank you so much for making this video!!! you've saved me twenty bucks
I'm so glad this was helpful!
Thank you for this! If I don't find a spare picture frame to use or screen material to make a homemade deckle I'll try this instead, and the food colouring part was so fun lol
haha yes, food coloring is always the best part! I hope it goes well :)
@@thegreenestlaw
It did! Your method is so much fun
Lovely video, I'm so giving this a try. I have some seeds that I'd love to throw in.
that sounds wonderful, I'm so glad this was helpful!
@@thegreenestlaw yeah definitely :)
omg i saw this on tik tok and im soooo invested
haha, I'm glad! 🥰
Same
Same
Thank u so much. I'll use this for Earth Day project👍
I'm so glad this helped! good luck with your project!
When I saw this I had to click onto the video to see how the heck you made this! Really cool!
haha thank you so much for clicking! 🥰🥰
Loved this! It’s was also very calming to watch.
thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it!
ah! Your videos are literally so so creative!💗🥺 omg! I love this idea! Definitely going to try this

This video is so well done. You just earned a subscriber! I hope you make more videos like this!!
thank you so much, I definitely will!
that's brilliant.very creative video as well..
keep uploading more videos..new fan here..
thank you so much!
Thumb up for the lofi music and your beautiful handwriting! I'd love to know if the papers had any describable scent, and what you did with them after creating?
so glad you enjoyed! they smelled a little like lavender, but only up close; i'm sure adding more flowers would increase the scent. and i used them to make christmas cards!
oh, thanks so much. It's good to know that I can also use a mesh. And I think I can start now.
awesome!
Literally thank you for this
literally you're so welcome
Omg i didn't have a deckle and was searching for a tutorial without it..... thank you so much!!!!❤️
shooky shooky yoongi omg yay!! i’m so glad this was helpful!
@@thegreenestlaw Yess!!!! Worked like a pro!!! 👍🏻
Also a little tip if you want to make your paper tinted you can add coffee or black tea instead of water! :)
ooo that sounds so cool, I will try that!
Whenever my school year ends I would make paper out of those notes and books I made.
the best feeling!!
Could you use any fabric instead of the mesh? Like for the method you found the best
It's worth a shot! something that you can soak water out of would be ideal, so thin fabric would be great.
I hot glued scrap window screening to a picture frame, I’m hoping to try it out today and see if it works
that's a great idea! I hope it works well!
Omg your voice is so soothing🥺😌keep the work going, your new subscriber❤️
omg haha thank you so much!

place dish ware in the mesh bag and give space for the water to drain
thank you, I will try that next time!
This is such a fun idea omg!

Woah!!!! That's the best way!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad you think so!
@@thegreenestlaw ❤️❤️

Thank you...

omg that's so great! I'm glad it worked!
@@thegreenestlaw 🥰
I like how your sponge looks like toast :) this is gonna be my project for the year! Thank you very much for sharing!
haha, it is a great sponge. I'm so glad to hear that, good luck!
Thank you!! My OC is self sufficient and I was wondering how they’d make paper :)
yay, thank you!
Not sure about this I never tried it, but I am thinking you could put the wet paper pulp in a juicer and the water would collect in one side of the juicer while the damp paper pulp would collect in the other part of the catch the pulp. Never tried it though may work may not. It's just a thought
that's a great idea!
@@thegreenestlaw Not sure if it would work though might strain out the paper pulp alone with the water if the paper is too saturated and broken down. I would think .
Thanks so much dear..now I know what to do with used notebooks
so happy to help!
@@thegreenestlaw I will try and tell you the results
@@manjiabanti yes, please do!
You have to leave the torn paper soak in water for 3 days before blending it! So that the cellulose fibers can loose up from each other! And your mesh is way to thick with large holes, thats not appropriate.
It can be used for acrylic paintings I'm sure it will look quite aesthetic
that sounds great, let me know if you try it!
This is so underrated ♥️
haha thank you so much! 😊
this is literally so cool!!! loved it 🤍
thank you so much! 🥰
I’m just about to make some. This video helps ALOT!! thanks im doing for a quarantine project 🦋💕
I'm so glad it helped, have fun and good luck with your project!
Oh my god such good editing where do you edit?
thank you so much! I use final cut pro, and procreate for the handwritten titles :)
Thanks for this tutorial!! it works so well
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
This was so good to watch, great video ❤️
I'm so glad!
Thank you I have had a stack of paper I've been wanting to make paper with for quite some time but I didn't have a deckel thing either. So I must be off because I'm going to make paper
I hope it goes well for you!
Blend the dried flowers with the mixture
thank you, I will try that!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I don't have a deckle either
so glad this was helpful!
Hi ! What if I don't have a mold,mesh bag, or cheese cloth, what should I use? Is a handkerchief effective?
yeah, I think that'd work! anything that can hold the paper without falling apart, you don't need a mesh bag specifically
this is so creative! Wow🤩
vandana vs thank you so much! 🥰
woah this is so cool!! def trying this! also your vids are always so aesthetic & your editing is amazing 💕
aah thank you so much! 🥰
Good presentation
thank you! 😊
Great video!! 👍👍
thank you!
@@thegreenestlaw you're very welcome 🙂
this is so cool!! i should try this with my scrap papers
yes, you should! thank you for watching 🥰
Tysm. I don’t have a deckle but really wanna try this
of course, good luck!
Wow, looks like my teacher chose the right video for my project!
omg yay! I'm glad it was helpful!
This was so helpful! Thank you very much
I'm so glad! thank you for your comment!
AAAAA THIS LOOKS SO COOL
AAA THANK YOU!
Very cool, thank you for sharing
glad you enjoyed!
Now I kinda wish I save that school work for paper I could have made
haha ikr! you can start saving it now though :)
Nice 👌 Wonderful 👍🏻😊
thank you!
Im just wondering if you can fan bake it in the oven or would it mess up the paper? This is so nice tho i might try it out (instead of studying lolol)
ooh I have no idea what fan baking is...but putting paper in the oven sounds a bit flammable..? I would so some more research hehe (ah yes I love crafting instead of studying too :)
thank you so much for this! I have a literal bag full of used notebooks and old worksheets that I feel so bad about throwing away. I was looking online, and deckles are about 20-30 dollars! i thought they'd be like, 5-10 dollars, I mean it's only some mesh and wood, but i guess not 🤷♀️
I'm so glad this is helpful! I hope it goes well! 📝
also how come this video is one of the most aesthetically pleasing things like i could never make paper pulp look pretty🤪❣️
hah! I was worried it looked kinda gross so I'm glad you think it looks nice 😂🥰
Leafy Vegan aw it definitely does!!
Now i know what to do with the hella many handouts that i have from school😂😂
ahah!! ikr I always have so much school paper and don't like just throwing it out
Loved the video and how you tried to use materials everyone can find. Also, what pen did you use at the end of the video, im on the hunt for a nice pen to write out my notes and so far i didn't find one i love 😂
thank you so much! It's either the 0.38mm or 0.5mm ballpoint pen from Muji (I use both of them regularly). I recommend them, and there are lots of colors too. I hope you find a great pen, I love shopping for stationery!
I dont have mesh- but i have the rest soo im replacing the mesh with a board that has the same holes as mesh except their bigger
great idea! you could also try some thin fabric if you are still looking for a work around.
Beautiful 💖
thank you so much!
Use fabric dye (rit) instead of food coloring ... but don't put it in a blender that you are going to use for food. Perhaps do the coloring part in a mason jar after it come out of the blender.
ooh thank you! I will try that!
Do you have to use a mesh bag? Can you just use like a towel or something?
you don't need to use a mesh bag, anything that can hold the pulp as well as drain water will work. cheesecloth, a towel, a thin shirt...I hope this helps!
THANK YOU
you're welcome!
Hey btw, YOUR AWESOME! *this* is how we can save our planet 🌎
you're AWESOME too! exactly!
New subbie! Great tutorial very helpful and inspirational! 🥰🐞🤗✂️
thank you so much, i'm glad it was helpful!
This is so cute! Such an underrated channel! 🌱 also what editor do you use?
thank you so much! I use final cut pro 😊
hey! i have a small question..
instead of mesh, can I use a long handkerchief?
yes, that would work wonderfully!
Loved this video!!✨✨
thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
Loved this! 😍💗✨
I'm so glad you liked it!
We can use any kind of color or there is any specific color for coloring paper?
whatever color you want!
