How I Make Handmade Paper 🌷 gradient paper, upcycling my bookbinding scraps, cute paper craft ideas

[@MartyYokawonis]

You can iron the papers too to give the sheets a more hotpressed looking finish. You just need to use another thin sheet of paper over the handmade sheet. I use a sheet of newsprint.

So gorgeous!! I especially loved the pressed flowers on the handmade paper, so elegant!

[@bittermelonbindery]

Thank you Tina!! 🌼💙

[@coyoteannabis1192]

Little tip from somebody who was court-ordered to make paper and talk about my feelings every day for four months... Use a chamois cloth instead of the shop towels. no need to sponge and gives a more uniform finish.

The gradient paper is so pretty!

[@anaschulz8084]

I absolutely love watching this process. You do it so elegantly as well 😀

[@randomocitycats]

Wonderful :) one of the nicest tutorials I’ve seen. You have a lovely eye for color and texture and this has given me a lot of insight into the process for myself, I am wanting to do hand made paper for a mini comic with pressed flowers in the paper 🥰

[@marlenejones6266]

This is stunning. I'm quite impressed. You are a very creative young woman. I made paper about 30 years ago just for fun with all homemade items for my deckle and everything. I want to start again to use it in my junk journals. Thank your for you always creative mind.

[@catyeah8592]

I love this video! I'm just now starting back to making paper, and needed a refresher. Your video was perfect!

[@juliennebrendadevos6004]

I love the colour cobinations

[@beadmomma4]

So much amazing content on this video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@c.kainoabugado7935]

Awesomeness🎉

[@suewegert2323]

Have you considered adding drier lint to the pulp? Would love to try making equipment and creating some of these papers. Your explanation is well done.

[@lisa-scarlettcruji4250]

I loved watching this! Such lovely work.

[@znycelondon5313]

Awesome project🤗🤗🤗

[@susankuhfuss6648]

Love the paper you created! Thanks for the ideas to use it. My favorites are how you used in collage and wall art! Fantastic video tutorial!

[@glr_creations]

Beautiful relaxing video, thank you for sharing your process!

[@harrymoyes5069]

Fascinating. Much less equipment than I expected, but still significant mess. I wonder if it would be usable for water colouring.

[@amberwol9330]

the pressed flowers are so pretty!!!

[@bittermelonbindery]

Thank you! 🌼

[@suzannerheaume8040]

Lovely work. Video editing on point . ❤️ Very inspiring

[@ciaomamabella]

You are an amazing person. Thank you so much for this.

[@theresedignard4267]

Beautiful paper. Thanks for sharing.

[@mehtarelingolien]

When transferring freshly ground pulp into jars, you might want to consider using a canning funnel.

[@whiteflower8805]

wow so beautiful ly made i loved all the ideas i will try them

[@renovatiomom]

Your paper is awesome!!! Thank you for tellinus your trouble shooting issues. Beautiful job!! (:

[@theresedignard4267]

I was watching a tv science special once on paper making. It seems that elephant dung makes great paper. Would be a fun experiment if you have a zoo nearby. Because the fiber fully digested, you only need to wash it out to get the natural pulp. I wonder if other plant eater’s dung would also work. Does not work with cows, but yes with horses. I tried it. The elephant sanctuary moved away before I got dung to try it. lol. They used a huge water barrel and a paint mixer to get the pulp in suspension. Done outside in the yard. In case you want to expand your paper products. ;) Love your woodblock-like prints. They would make great book covers.

[@mindylawrence7357]

It makes great paper. I have some.

[@AC-cg3bv]

Gorgeous!

[@melanieanderson1886]

Beautiful results! Can you tell me what you used to colour the water?

[@hilaryalfaro3338]

So well explained! Thank you :) For the gradient paper, do you use already colored paper or do you add some kind of ink to give it the color?

[@dheafarel5135]

I want to know that too

[@ningkaii148]

Hi I’m not sure if you’re still interested but I’m pretty sure you can do both. But if you’re going ti use ink make sure to make it a bit darker than you want because of the water added in the pulp I think the colour fades a bit when you dry the paper.

[@tracybowling1156]

You need to make sure the screen with the newly made paper is dryer. Keep sponging the water off the screen until it separates from the paper all by itself. I hope this helps! 😊

[@lifetoinspirefromNammy]

i really loved this so much

[@memotto123]

Great job. Thank you very much.

[@Eyelash40]

Love your video! Great, detailed, and calm explanation. Thank you 😊

[@alejita533]

Congratulations! Greetings from Colombia :)

[@ryantzmusic9139]

nice... thank you for sharing

[@dedeayulia1230]

It is very cool

[@MossieLeZurche]

I wonder if using a shamwow would make it easier to absorb the water from the paper

[@lorenafins1663]

Que lindo trabajo!😊

[@punkw4449]

Thank you for sharing this video! I really enjoyed the craft ideas part of the video. What material did you use to place the paper on to dry?

[@ben_west]

Great video!

[@bittermelonbindery]

Thanks Ben!

[@czmh2462]

Where can one purchase those beautiful glass frames to hang finished art?

[@melissabritton1078]

where did you find the frames you used

[@Ancient_Pollyanna]

Where does one find those awesome frames that look like purses?

[@jessicadorlac]

Where do the colors come from? This is great! Thanks.

[@Gamarishi]

I love the ideai of making recycled paper, but i never tried

[@caroljeanscholl7370]

What are the specks in your paper? Is it something that you added or is it simply a coarser blending

[@zoufishaashaikh2889]

is there any way to make cardboards too?

[@adlerkriener5024]

Where did you get those bear stickers 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@CTisMe]

Would this work with any scrap paper?

[@thelionandthebee1933]

Yaaaay! 🎉❤

[@theredrover3217]

✅ Well done. 🙂

[@caroljeanscholl7370]

Also what did you use to color your paper 😊

[@Ambardinst]

share my experience, paper dyes can use natural dyes or you can also use textile dyes, if there are various types of natural dyes, there are strong colors, some are weak, they fade easily, textile dyes will still have strong colors, apart from using dyes, you can also separate paper raw materials which will be recycled in a blender are grouped with similar paper colors so no need to use dyes anymore

[@deborahbarlow4309]

Did you know that regular mouth jars will fit most blenders

[@lisettegarcia]

😮

[@maryfromthemountains]

Your background music overshadows your voice.

[@karenholst8306]

👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰

[@Ambardinst]

hello, I produce handmade recycled paper, I can make thin, thick and flat paper. I'm happy if I can discuss it so that handmade recycled paper is of higher quality and useful

[@asmaamahadeen3040]

Hello, I also produce recycled paper, and I would like to know how I can make the paper more strong and not tear easily, I will be grateful if you tell me

[@3milene2]

🙏💜💮

[@ladybird169]

This would be so lovely video if there was no background music or some lighter sounds without drumming. That would be suitable for relaxing video. This way with drumming it is, alas, tiresome. And you have such a lovely voice and very nice presentation. Not to mention all the hard work you put into it.

[@jayestrickler4668]

Thank you for your honesty. We need more People in the medical profession thinking like this teaching like this. 🤯🤔🤗🫡
