- A stapler
- Paper (towels, newspapers, office paper, envelopes, paper …) (Do you prefer unprinted paper I do not want the ink to paper in gray., If you do not mind, go with scraps of paper that you have on hand. Paper the raw material which is necessary for the production of fibers, is its leaves.)
- A food processor
- Food coloring (optional)
- One large compartment
- Water

- Iron
Technology:
- Stretch the screen to the frame and secure it with the stapler. Requires that the fabric is taut. The second frame used to hold the pulp and not be painted.
- With respect to the pulp to produce a sheet of the paper it will take approximately 6 true leaf. Tear the leaves into small pieces of about 2 cm and throw them in a bowl of hot water. Allow the paper to soak up water for 30 minutes.
- Take a handful of paper type in the food processor bowl. Turn to medium speed to make a thick paste. More dough is thicker, the paper is thicker. Colored Paper add food coloring to the robot.
- Fill your container halfway with warm water. Pour mix the pulp and. Take some fly-by ensuring that the substance against. Questions on the empty frame. You now have a form for your future paper.
- Dip the mold in the shell, the two frames. Collect the pulp. Get the form slowly spread gently stirring dough. Keep let the flat shape and drain. Ideally, you perform this step outside, but you can also use your kitchen sink, which can be easily cleaned using traces of dye.
- Place the mold on the work surface. Carefully remove the empty frame and put a clean cloth flat on the form. Turn the mold to remove the piece of paper on the table quickly. With a clean cloth, gently pat the back of the fabric to absorb excess water and carefully remove the bezel on the sheet that should remain on the cloth to release.
- Dry your plate, place a cloth over the wet paper and iron it (not too hot) to dry them out. Let stand a few hours.
- You can then use your paper.
