the plastics from the paperplastic looks like a cold laminating that usually used for making the printing last longer. that is a very thin plastic and you can write on that. maybe that's the reason the paperplastic worked well... also the paperplastic looks pretty good for a wrapping paper :D

Lisa, thanks for doing the experimenting for us. I liked both the first and second sheets of paper. The ones with plastic looked very artistic, like you planned them that way. They would look good as a background in a frame or maybe the background of handmade cards. Also, I would cut the carton open and leave it intact before you pour boiling water on it. Then you can peel off large pieces of foil or plastic. Beautiful video!

@thactotum Жыл бұрын
the stickyness is likely the glue and it probably working as a kind of sizing in the finished paper. you might be able to get the plastic layers to peel in whole sheets if you cut the edges and soak it for a day, letting the cut edges wick the water in to break the layers apart. I used to do something similar with pringles tubes. you could also use a stiff bristled brush to scrub the printed side and the aluminized liner to remove nearly all the pulp from them.

After watching your experience I’d probably try cutting the carton into four large pieces to soak them, then try to preserve the foil for another project. FYI for people who don’t have a blender: I’ve made some decent paper using an immersion blender. I put the soaked paper pieces into the bin, with plenty of water, and blend it in there. Worked fine.
