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

[@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..

[@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]

🤣

[@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!

[@catherinegauley7240]

You're not an over reactive mother. You love your animals and family. You have a heart and you care. Lol

[@cynthiarollins3949]

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

[@vyrrus]

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

[@bettylongshore9594]

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

[@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.

[@melanieward3692]

Fun! Saving up scraps now to try it

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!💖🤗

[@gracejohnson1926]

@@ThePaperOutpost 😂🤣😂

[@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!

[@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!

[@mariaraptis4532]

Awesome, thanks Pam! Hello from Greece!!🙋

[@lucybanta7311]

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

[@TheGrannycarol]

thank you thank you thank you for showing us this. you make everything seem possible to do by keeping it budget friendly and simple steps. I very much appreciate the time you take to do this. thank you

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Glad it was helpful!

[@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 :)

[@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 🌸💕

[@munavvarasamad935]

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

[@ohmyscrap]

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

[@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!

[@10151957june]

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

[@juditholvera8812]

Love your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and beautiful personality. Blessings

[@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!!

[@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.

[@tonyaswift6417]

You are a fabulous teacher. God bless u.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Thanks, you just made my day :)

[@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! 👍🙏🏻🤗

[@bondee5865]

The entire process was fantastic, it was a great lesson; making a variety of interesting paper is endless with this method. Thanks so much

[@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.

[@vickie_reloved.treasure]

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!!❤️❤️❤️

[@toddlisasmith9512]

This!

[@paulinewhite3273]

Very clever Pam, thank you.

[@nnieves4108]

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

[@nancivessells1909]

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

[@annemcdonald5147]

Your delivery is as much fun as the making!

[@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!

[@TheVal1963]

Awesome stuff. Easy tutorial. Thank you very much

[@sueproffitt3320]

[@denorahmicale5581]

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

[@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!

[@debra7350]

Waiting is soooooo hard. I have my very first two pieces of paper drying following your steps. The entire process so far is extremely satisfying.

[@dianeboynton3069]

I love the pinky red beautiful

[@nancywalker7302]

Can't wait to get what I need to do this!

[@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 😂😂😂

[@tinakarla6976]

[@terryiggulden5182]

I made paper in college and have wanted to make it again. Like you I still have some if that paper. I'm excited for more more more

[@tinaluu9810]

I absolutely love your character and teaching skills. Thanks beautiful for sharing your knowledge and time with us. This technique is very smart. Now i will dry some leaves and flowers.

[@karengipson4281]

You make this process seem so easy. Think I am ready to tackle it for myself now. Love your techniques

[@ceedee410godschild2]

You call your Grey, Funny Bear, I called mine Sammy Bear. Lol I had to rehome him after 17 years due to Fibromyalgia. It was just too physically difficult to give him the attention and clean cage he needed. He has a wonderful new mommy number 2.❤ I miss him so much. Love this paper-making!

[@diegooland1261]

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.

[@suzieq23ify]

So so cool!! thank you for this step-by-step!!

[@workforcemillionaire7210]

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

[@dianelangford7810]

Thank you, thank you, Pam. I've been eagerly awaiting this video since you showed some of your handmade paper in the recent past. I'm ready to go! Diane

[@leerowley70]

This is wonderful! I can see many hours spent doing this during the summer!

[@paperpuddles]

This was so fun to watch. Thank you for showing the cheaper alternative to making the screen box. You made it look so easy. I am excited to try it. I would be interested now in seeing you do a tutorial on how you use the homemade paper in your journaling. 🦋

[@patriciaclements2727]

Wow 🤩 It’s really messy but looks like fun. My kind of playing! Thx Pam.

[@PaperTerrace]

Ok this makes me excited to try this finally! My kids will love it

[@michellejanossy8186]

Thank you for explaining this process. Much less complex than i thought. Now of to gather supplies! Have a great day!

[@chrissy24-7]

Holly sounds like he's pleased by the blender sounds lol 💕

[@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.

[@lindasparks7131]

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

[@2ndchancecreationsbychrist12]

This would have to be the easiest tutorial for paper making.....need to try this....tfs awesome ❤

[@bernicechiniborch2600]

I am anxious to see how things turn out. When it is sunny and warm here in Ontario I will try this.🇨🇦

[@lucy7b]

Thank you so very very much. I’ve been dying to know how to do this.

[@hendapieterse1685]

Thank you so much Pam easy way to make paper..thanks for the video

[@EE-hi4re]

Saved it. Going to make it with my kids

[@333NeeCole333]

Love this!!!!!! I REMEMBER DOING THIS IN KINDERGARTEN!!!!!! Omg , yours is more beautiful but it just fills me with so much happiness :) Thanks, Pam♡ Love your excitement about the color🤣

[@gedartcreations2869]

Awesome tutorial! You put a lot into this.. back & forth outside etc. We appreciate you, Pam❤️

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Glad it was helpful!

[@d.watson5412]

Thank you Pam - such fun to watch and I have been waiting for this because I have wanted to make paper since my hippie days in college (1970 and onward) so I think I'm finally going to do it. You make everything fun.

[@lesliethomas6707]

It has been years since I made paper. I do have a deckle etc and I used an old blender and a dish pan for my slurry. I cut up some purple raffia and put in lavender buds. The purple leached into my water it came out the best batch! There is alchemy involved. I like the idea of drying on a sheet for less pattern. Then I wondered what would happen if I flipped it on a vinyl placemat. 🤔🧐 Bwaahaha

[@lydiemonin977]

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

[@Solo3198-]

Fun seeing more of you, Pam! (Ha) I love this and can't wait to try it out!

[@heycoachlj]

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

[@Coffeecup.0110]

I’m so going to be making paper soon!!!!! Thank you!

[@FloydieGirl]

You said the magic words "Ferrero Rocher"! The 16 pack tub is superb for fitting in 15 ink bottles as well to stop them flapping about in a drawer, I also use one of the little stickers on my camera lens on my lap top "just in case"! Oh and the choccie well, nuts are a good source of protein, chocolate is made from beans, therefore it counts as veg, also chocolate contains milk so calcium as well, all in al win, win, win & win! :D Loving your video too!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

LOL..I am with you sister!!:)

[@rhondacalderone862]

I have to try this! Yesterday I was drying flowers in my Micro Fleur. For the heck of it, I pulled some bottle brush flowers off of my tree and squished them. They came out really cool. Now is the time, if you have access to them. Watch out for bees. I'm thinking that the little hairy fibers would look pretty in paper.

[@smply4you]

Pam I have just discovered you and love love love the way you do the tutorials. So natural and easy to follow. I love the paper and love your way!!!Thanks so much for sharing!

[@lizzyanthus1]

Thanks so much, Pam! I join the group always wanting to make paper, but afraid it was too complicated! I feel confident now that I can do it! As always, thanks for being such an awesome youtuber, who really feels like a friend instead of just someone giving directions. Lots of other tutorial peoples channels just seem so..flat..now. You are fun! Never have I felt like I've wasted time watching your tutorials, like I have with so many others.

[@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! 🤣

[@ritamclaughlin9681]

so much fun! I am hunting down a used blender so I can make paper again. I loved the paint in the pulp. It came out so much better than I expected.

[@lovesdolls786]

Hi Pam, I'm a relatively new subscriber and I LOVE ❤ you and your videos! What a personality, seriously...you make me laugh and learn at the same time. I look forward to your videos...I've learned so much from you! I can't wait to make some paper! I especially love your carefree and 'do it/few rules' attitude and approach. Much love and thanks for the time and effort you put into your videos for us! ❤☮🙏🏻

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi pinklilacs! Welcome to the family! I am so excited for you on your new journey into junk journals! It's a very friendly community! Come on down the rabbit hole with the rest of us and have some fun! :)Thanks for watching! :) Pam :) !!

[@kimbain4368]

This is fun! And perfect for mixed media, as you said. Thanks for the lesson!

[@rubyputnam8526]

Thank you Pam for doing this video. It looks like a lot of fun to get in there and play with. I will be making this with my Granddaughter outside this summer..

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Have fun!

[@maryregan4099]

Thank you for showing how to make paper

[@nohjuan3048]

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