how to make paper • no blender + indoor papermaking [craftvlog tutorial]

☆ in my other handmade paper videos, i got asked if there was a way to make paper without the blender. i took on the challenge and experimented with the process - tldr; yes, you can make paper without the blender, plus you can do it all indoors!

☆ notes:
1/ SIZING. Paper internal sizing, and most hand papermakers use a chemical called 'alkyl ketene dimer', which protects and coats each fiber. This essentially makes your paper writable. I'm not sure if this will affect the seeds in any way, but as you will see in the video, I did not use such chemical and I was able to write on and stamp on ink on the sheet with zero bleeding. This can be also attributed to the fact that the paper I used to make the pulp already has has sizing.
2/ MOULD & DECKLE. I had the mould and deckle custom made this time to the size that I want. It is a wooden frame. Unlike my first video where I used an improvised one, a silk screen, this custom made one I use in the video uses a metal mesh. And the metal mesh lifts much easier compared to the silk screen one.
3/ THICKNESS OF SHEET. As I mentioned, my intention behind making this paper is turn them into tags. In order to adjust thickness of the sheet I've found that adding more water in the basin helps. Just to let you know, thinner paper sheets are more prone to tears.
hope you enjoy watching this video!

TAG A FRIEND, who might want to make one of these too!

MADE one already? Tag me, so I can share it on my stories so others can see you work.

Thanks for being here!
Much love, Sharmane

The paper thickness is good to use in making scrapbook for those students who love DIY things

[@shacee]

Indeed, the good thing about making your own is you can change the thickness depending on what you plan to use it for. 🤗

[@v1nnxfic]

I wanna make recycle paper.. but I'm afraid that my mom will be angry:") because I use blender for paper:") and I found your video with "no blender" so I can make it:)

[@user-yb9lj1rs4d]

I secretly used the blender 😝.

Yeah babe, same

[@abella9399]

I have so much paper laying around because of school, i think cutting the squares in a flat sheet of paper and funnel it in the jar is easier

[@shacee]

You do what works for you 👍

[@CathysGardenllc]

Love your method of hanging the paper to dry. This summer my granddaughter and I will try this method together. Thank you for your video and sharing your talents. Cathy💐

[@shacee]

Oh yes, it makes the whole process of paper making less intimidating i think!🧡 I'm sure your granddaughter will enjoy the craft!

[@Serenitees]

I think the best part is your timer method, that the pulp process took a single episode of friends to complete LOL! Great video and beautiful results.

Oh yasss friends is sort of like a white noise on loop sometimes haha

The stars, flowers, petals and gold are so nice! I am glad you show that it works with just water. Lovely papers, all of them.

[@acchasafar851]

It worked!!! At first I was a lil' bit hesitant to ask my mum but when I did.. She was completely ok Cz she always believed that we will always remember these things we do in our childhood

[@jessicadeodat2057]

Also a bit of a hack (for people like me who doesn't have a deckle lol) you can make your own from a photo frame

[@cragglesharvey2774]

I make my own paper for watercolour painting and sketching, I put my torn paper and water in a large saucepan bring it to a boil and then simmer it until it disintegrates into fine pulp, so much easier and quieter. You could probably leave it overnight in a slow cooker as well.

[@christiemantle-jones9435]

How much water would you put in?

[@thepickypainter9854]

@@christiemantle-jones9435 if boiling it on the stovetop just use a big pot and cover with water an inch or 2 above the paper. Paper will absorb the water so keep an eye on it and add as needed. In the slow cooker, do the same thing.

[@sadblob4577]

I also reccomend taking a jar and put some rocks in there. Put the soaked paper in there, close the jar, and just shake it. The rocks will grind the paper into palp. If needed, you could manually pound the palp after for finer pieces.

[@kaashvitripathi6395]

Oh yeah, it could work as well, I'm gonna try making handmade papers for the first time in my life! I'll try this as well as I'll have to grind the paper, and make the pulp myself, not using the grinder, cuz my mom won't let me do that!

[@n1nj4l1nk]

That's totally not going to end up with a broken jar and needs everywhere. Smh

[@sadblob4577]

@@n1nj4l1nk I used a plastic jar when i did this, it was one of those small containers that had like jelly candy in em. Also typical glass mason jars are not that fragile, a couple jumbling rocks and paper gunk isn’t going to shatter it

My pleasure!

[@townesquarestudio651]

Very beautiful, thanks for sharing

[@varshajohn]

Thnx a lot i just made them and it turned out well. But the only problem i had was i couldn't transfer them into the cloth (maybe it's because i used a frame made out of cross stitch cloth instead of an actual frame and i used a tissue to remove the excess water.) I let it dry on the frame and it came out pretty easily. 😁 oh also i used a hammer to grind them. So if you're going to try that use whatever you have you don't need special tools for that. 🙂

[@shacee]

Exactly, resourcefulness is key!

[@scootermom1791]

Regarding what you mentioned about sizing in the description, I watched a video on how to make paper from cotton, and they used a cup of leaf gelatin, which they had purchased from a store. They also said they could have used a cup of starch in lieu of the gelatin. I'm guessing they meant corn starch. They had an about half a blender full of pulp, so you'd use less starch or gelatin depending on the amount of pulp you were making, of course. Anyway, using gelatin or starch would be easier and safer (IMO) than having to get some weird chemical with a long name. Lol

[@shacee]

Thanks for this info!🧡 Others might fi d this useful if they don't have access to sizing. I've been experimenting with CMC, it's actually food grade - similar to gelatin and is added to most food so it's also safe for consumption. 🤗

[@scootermom1791]

Actually it’s nice in putting something on that paper like pasting photos or just makin it like the border bcoz of its texture 🥺

[@veronicahodges4540]

Try dampening your cotton sheet (felts) before you lay your paper so it doesn’t soak up the fibres so much. Good job and it looks great considering your technique and brief. You could also press the papers heavily using clamps to get a finer texture. Cheers.

[@shacee]

Thanks veronica! 🧡🤗 I'll give this a try!

[@thepickypainter9854]

Once you make the paper, how do u use it in a journal ? Do u glue it to a page ? Or is it strong enough to be sewn into a journal as a page ? I have made some paper before with a few leaves or flower pedals. But I LOVE the gold foil !! Thank you for sharing

Would adding the extras directly on the pulp that is already on the screen work? I think one will have better control on where and how much on each sheet of paper.
