Make Homemade
Paper (Continued)
Hang it out to dry
Now carefully remove the top layer of felt (and
any other absorbent materials) from the pulp. It
should now hold together as an honest-to-goodness
sheet of paper.
- Carefully take up two corners of the
paper by rolling them back (just a half
inch/one cm or so) with your fingers. Hold a
corner with each hand and gently peel the sheet
off the bottom felt.
- Clip the fresh sheet on to a laundry
line with ordinary clothespins to dry. Any place
that's warm and dry will be fine--wherever you
would hang laundry. Avoid damp areas
(mold might grow on the paper), dusty
areas (wet paper will collect any dust in the
air), or windy places (your paper could
be blown off the line!)
Drying time is about three hours, more if
the air is humid or if there is little sun.
