Ah... the things I could do! 4 years ago

I’ve already got plenty of scrap paper for me to start making my own paper at home, such as:

Computer Paper (unprinted)
Newspaper (If you want a grayish colored paper)
Magazines
Egg Cartons
Old Cards (For heavier paper)
Paper Bags
Non Waxed Boxes (Pre-soak in warm water)
Office Paper
Typing Paper
Construction Paper

All I need is the equipment, such as:

a screen from a window or door (mold)
an old picture frame or other wooden frame (deckle)
a plastic tub large enough to accommodate the wooden frame
a blender or food processor
a white felt or flannel fabric (for tacking screen on frame)
staples or tacks (for tacking screen on frame)
liquid starch (optional)

I can’t wait to get started! :D
