How to Make Handmade Paper! Easy Step by Step Tutorial for Beginners! The Paper Outpost! :)

[@ilselauwers6009]

So 🤗 let me explain what I like so much about this video : -Pam, not given a F*** about making it all look ‘ instagramable’ - Pam just being completely natural - Pam, trusting us enough to start sharing her whole living environment with us - Getting to know Pam .... feet, ear, nose, half of her face, knee ... - the sound of the water in the garden . Thank you Pam 👋😊🤓

[@amyrugala246]

Can wait to explore,, thank you Pam!

[@vidbox44]

I was just thinking about other paper making vids I’ve watched with hair, makeup, nails, photo op shots, and feeling grateful for this vid’s paper making focus! Then I saw your comment, and felt very validated.

[@teresarn1965]

I wondered if she has ever shown her face and I missed it. I bet she is beautiful...just like her personality!

[@robynnedavidson6364]

Loved u had a bird, we loved a cockatoo for 32 years

[@torahobadiah]

Pam is just natural!!! Her focus is teaching us to make paper and that's it. My first video and I already know I like her.

[@wendyfrith6675]

I'm 83yrs always wanted to make paper, thanks to your lesson Pam, I have paper soaking, I am going to do. Loving all your videos many thanks I am in New Zealand, great granny

[@ThatGirlinLoveland]

I still don't craft or journal, but I still love watching your videos. Its like hanging out with your favorite Aunt showing you her favorite fun hobbies.

[@susantolin7000]

Hello Pam.. First I started binge watching your videos then listening to the podcasts . Now I'm hoarding paper and making paper. LOL What a creative ride.. I'm loving in it...

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Wonderful!

[@CrixJoki]

Well, I guess I´ll be spending this summer making paper on my balcony ;D 💜

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Awesome!! :)

[@dailybread7364]

🤣

[@loves2spin2]

This is great! I've wanted to make paper for a LONG time, but it seemed so complicated and expensive. Thank you for breaking it down to the basics and making it something I can do!

[@michellehemsath9294]

Exactly! Except for the immersion blender (which mine is ready to graduate to paper blending) everything is very doable. I've wanted to do this for forever too!

[@krnc1960]

I'll second what Yolanda said..

[@dianeboynton3069]

I love the pinky red beautiful

[@cynthiarollins3949]

Is there anything Pam cannot do…thanks for this tutorial I’m headed for more “reckless abandon “! 😊

[@Morbid_micko]

I love little chunks of colour in the more refined paper. Thankyou for this video, it's made me decide to experiment a bit more this weekend instead of my regular paper.

[@vyrrus]

So glad I stumbled on your channel! I love your editorial as you go along. Humorous and educational. Thanks so much!

[@paulinewhite3273]

Very clever Pam, thank you.

[@denorahmicale5581]

I so love this video...thank you so much for sharing this.....

[@robynnedavidson6364]

Your presentation is wonderful. Have always loved the paper making process ❤we had a cockatoo for over 32 years. So love ur birdie❤

[@gigipereira9921]

This process is much less complicated than I imagined. Will definitely be giving this a try. Hmmm - green paper with foliage bits...yes please! Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@jacquiliddell1811]

Lol it looks like porridge after being blended. Thank you for that Pam, that took a lot of energy and time on your behalf, even more so having to film it and moving the tripod etc,.........

[@ThePaperOutpost]

On second thought I should have done the whole thing on the lanai with the garden hose :) I have a plug out there too for the stick blender...ah, the brilliance of afterthoughts ;)

[@gracejohnson1926]

So cool...learned something new...Pam, thank you!!!💖

[@gracejohnson1926]

Yes...I GOT A KICK OUTTA SEEING THAT!!! Thanks Pam!💖🤗

[@hollydawsonjames1999]

Great job Pam Many moons ago, my best friend and I were experiencmenting with making homemade paper. Our process a little different than yours, we added tiny bits of fabric and drier lint. the lint would it helpe make it more like paper not cardboard and you could bend the paper. Without the fabric and lint, our paper was very brittle and would break easy both helped with color as well . We added our leaves, flower peddles to the pulp. after we sponged as much of the water out, we flopped did on an ironing board and ironed not only to dry it, but to make it as thin as we could. We could write on ours, made cards, gift cards, stationary etc. We even bought power that turned our paper Acid free. we had so much fun with our creations.

[@lucybanta7311]

Guess I’ll be digging paper out of the trash this weekend! Fascinating!

[@frenchartantiquesparis424]

That pink one looks good enough to eat.

[@tonyaswift6417]

You are a fabulous teacher. God bless u.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Thanks, you just made my day :)

[@pgtrish]

Love your sink!

[@munavvarasamad935]

Hai pam.I loved it. Thanks l like you so much 🥰🥰

[@cty5498]

Excellent timing! I have remnants of screen hanging around from when we had our sliding screen door redone. The contractor thought it was odd--but happily gave me the scraps.

[@bettylongshore9594]

You are so energetic!!!! THANK YOU for doing this for us!!! I can hardly wait for the reveal!!!!!!!

[@melanieward3692]

Fun! Saving up scraps now to try it

[@sandmcgill]

acrylic paint cleans up SO EAAASSSYY!. Not from paper, or soft surfaces (clothes, towels, etc...) but from sinks, countertops, pallets, it scratches right off when dry, or run hot water over it, as it is water soluble.

[@misamisa2677]

Thank you for sharing!!! 🙏❤️☮️

[@lydiemonin977]

Merci beaucoup c'était passionnant et très sympathique. Bonne journée 😍👍❤️

[@Zandain]

A thin slurry or a 'depression gruel' consistency! 🤔👍 Thank you for making this process look simple for all of us and inviting us into your extended workspace - love from Denmark 🌸💕

[@EE-hi4re]

Saved it. Going to make it with my kids

[@lindasparks7131]

I definitely want to try this. It looks easy enough to be able to handle myself!! Thanks!

[@mariaraptis4532]

Awesome, thanks Pam! Hello from Greece!!🙋

[@TheVal1963]

Awesome stuff. Easy tutorial. Thank you very much

[@luanncarnahan5030]

Thanks sooo much for sharing! Can't wait to try!

[@emilyfox1777]

Aaaaah my heart! Pupper watching you work looks like a snow white ewok 😍😍 thanks for sharing as a straight fwd process (no fancy terms to look up lol)

[@snarkycard]

I hope those palm trees on that second towel, (pink acrylic, flowers, paper), become imprinted into the paper. That would make them triply awesome!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

That would be cool!

[@theresasuttle711]

Oh yeah!!!! Yay! Can’t wait for the reveal. Those are lovely and I think the process looks easy enough. Now, if life would just cooperate and give me enough free time...

[@ThePaperOutpost]

I hear you :)

[@mendyhand3895]

FUN! Thank God! A way to recycle all of the paper I haven’t used. Pam, you are so funny, and so real, and always SO full of information! Pink oatmeal... here I come! 👍🙏🏻🤗

[@dragonfly5220]

Thank you for this and all your videos. Have been binge watching them. Last night I saw you organize your threads, brought back memories of doing this with my aunt 55 years ago! She was a seamstress for a designer that would sew the samples that then would go into production. She did put tape on the threads, now 55 years later, I can tell you not a long lasting good idea, tape is yellow, brittle, threads are still good, believe that! The spools of thread have a little slot on top to put the thread thru it and keep it from making all those birds nests. You brought me back in time and always teach me something! Your little Sunny is adorable and I love all the sound effects of the rest of the zoo.

[@10151957june]

I like making the faux handmade paper, but now that I've seen this method, it's well worth a try! Thanks Pam!!!

[@heycoachlj]

This was very informative as well as entertaining. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@christinehowell]

Thanks Pam... I've been hankering after making paper for ages and this makes me feel it's not going to be as difficult as I have been anticipating.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Wonderful!

[@sandirath2400]

I have been wanting to do this for years...so glad you showed us the diy method with things you have at home! I’m fixin to go rip a screen out of my window 😂😂😂

[@alexiadewald4535]

You're so much fun! Love your videos!!

[@juditholvera8812]

Saving scraps and making paper for scrap journals...thank you Pam God Bless..👍

[@nohjuan3048]

I've used food color like for Easter eggs and it colors the paper up nicely!

[@pamelak.4794]

This looks like a fun way to use up all those scraps! Running out today to get some screen, so I can make my own paper! Thank you so much for showing an easy way to make pretty and textured paper! This looks like a good way to add seeds to, to plant in the garden or send in cards to friends! Thank you!!!

[@Kayenne54]

Ohh...great idea!!

[@lourdeselena4771]

That was very cool.

[@nicolettemcclure2584]

Thank you so much. Love the video. Learned a lot.

[@marcellakramer7118]

This is soooo cool, I must try to do this! I will need to get little bunches of flowers from the grocery store to dry petals n leaves... nothing but grass all around my apartment. But that’s okay n the screen was so simple to do... thrift store here I come and asking a favor of the handyman for a little screening!!! Thanks so much for sharing... you are so awesome!!!

[@ruthsonger2178]

I'm from the era when paper was recycled to make spitballs. My how times have changed. :-)

[@brendak1145]

Lol

[@burienzoo]

I literally got paddled in 5th grade for that. #bathroomceilingcrimescene

[@ruthsonger2178]

@@burienzoo And yet we all survived those paddlings. Saw a funny meme on the internet yesterday. "Kids are too soft these days. I died when I was 5 years old and my mom told me to walk it off." I'll be laughing about the truth to that for a long time to come. And a second meme. "We didn't have play dates when we were young. Our parents just threw us out of the house first thing in the morning and told us not to come back until the streetlights came on."

[@debragentosiroberts7491]

What a cute comment 😉

[@philschopshop4591]

High school in the early 2000’s was great!

[@1orielle2]

Great demo! I have an old Oster blender that I use. I always start with a piece of paper towel. I can’t remember why....something about the long/short fibers in the paper...maybe. My husband made me forms... so I have no excuses to not be making paper more often! Lovely colors you achieved. Thanks!

[@gsdls]

Thank you for the great video

[@vickie_buquoi]

I love your tutorials...you make things simple and straightforward. I've watched other paper making videos and felt very intimidated, but I feel like I could actually do this!! Thanks so much!!❤️❤️❤️

[@shekhar3655]

👍👍nice vdo

[@ritagodfrey8113]

Here in England it is still cold so I will wait until the summer but by then I'll have LOADS of scraps and flowers to add. Love it!

[@donellemiller6680]

So glad you shared this process Pam! I've seen other paper making videos, but they are much more complicated and not full of texture like you have. I want the texture - can't wait to see more video on your home made paper and projects! Thank you.

[@ohmyscrap]

You are darling! I love your personality, you're funny and real. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

I will save all my scraps from now on.This looks like a lot of fun,little messy but very rewarding.Glad you did this video for us.

[@jkelley431]

Thank you so much Pam! You worked so hard for this video. I appreciate you so much! I love that you show the process. I also enjoy hearing you think! 🤣

[@elisabethatkin9297]

I use a picture frame & a pair of tights (panty hose) but never thought of adding colour. Too wet in UK to dry outside at the moment, but will start making paper again in the summer. Great video, thanks Pam

[@susanmcmains8593]

The frame/wire mesh is called a "deckle." I've done this b4, loved the experience, didn't know then what to use the papers for, still have them. Will have to do this again!

[@workforcemillionaire7210]

How funny, my Grey liked the noise of the stick blender, too. He started whistling along with it!

[@nancivessells1909]

So true. Pam is all natural. Love it. Fun video.

[@starlightreading6711]

This is the best homemade paper tutorial I've watched. All the equipment is very accessible. Lots of great ideas on how to add colour and interest. Thank you so much!

The frame and screen tip just saved me money and lets me decide the size I need. Thank you!! I'm going for a larger paper size and pre-made screens aren't big enough for my needs. Great tip.

I understand why you don’t want threads when you are mixing because of problems with the blades, but after the mixing is done some of the threads look cool in the paper sheets I make.
