Scratch Building Magic Scrolls

What started as a basic project to make some recycled paper to use as parchment for my tabletop games and props quickly became an in depth discovery of how to make my own inks and writing utensils.
In this episode i make recycled paper as well as making some paper from bamboo leaves, Before trying my hand at the creation on some natural inks made from the flowers in my garden. Then finally I made a quill to fill in the set.
Now that I had everything made, It was time to make myself a prop. So using all of these home made ingredients I decided to make an authentic D&D Magic Scroll.

holy shit this is so cool!

[@SebMakesStuff]

Why thankyou 😁

I don’t know if you live near any oak trees, but acorns make fantastic dark brown ink.

[@SebMakesStuff]

Unfortunately they don't grow in the subtropics where I live. But I do see them in Tasmania where I offten visit, might need to pick up a few next time

[@JSnyder3333]

@@SebMakesStuff you might be able to find some for sale online, also. You can use coffee or tea to make natural ink, yellow onion skin makes a dark brown ink as well. I bet charcoal would make a great ink.

this is wicked as fuck holy goddamn that so fuckin cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SebMakesStuff]

Haha cheers mate! It was a lot of fun to explore something different to my normal kind of build

[@photogfrank2146]

Really cool Seb! I've toyed with the idea of making paper using old grocery sacks. (paper, not plastic! lol) Of course, throwing in a bit of cloth to add rag I've heard is another good thing that I've heard about! Great video!

[@SebMakesStuff]

Cheers mate, yer I'm keen to experiment with this again but adding in a lot more bits of prices. I'll have to add cloth to the mix!

[@torjones1701]

You had a few pieces of paper, not parchment. Parchment is untanned animal skins. Good video tutorial otherwise!

[@SebMakesStuff]

Interesting. I didn't know that was the difference but that's cool to know. Thanks 👍
