How to Make Recycled Paper
Finishing Technique


We are continuing with the How to Make Recycled Paper video series. In this video, crafts expert, Toni King, demonstrates finishing technique.

After the paper has already dried, you can pull up the end product very gently.

Notice how she gets one edge and runs her hand under it until it comes right up. To flatten the paper she lays it under a phone book.

If you tear it, you can just put it right back into your pulp mixture.

That's it! You have a handmade recycled paper that you can use for making invitations, Christmas cards, birthday cards and little journals.

Have fun!
