Use my new diamond-cut shredder to rid myself of paper clutter, then reuse the shredded bits to make brand new, handmade paper!

It’s in huge red letters on a box next that sits next to the recycle bin. I spend FIVE MINUTES at a time, every few days, shredding the contents of the box. It’s making the first part of this goal really easy to accomplish.

Full Paper Shredder + Empty Blue Barrel + Helpful Husband = (Shredder – Paper) + (Barrel + Paper) > Annoying.

I have used the new diamond-cut shredder to rid myself of quite a bit of paper clutter. I’ll soon have enough raw materials to make a great batch of paper!

I have made a lot of it in the past. I obtained a good deal of shredded dot-matrix paper from the City, of all places. That made some really good handmade paper because it was already thin and the print washed off really easy.

But that was a while ago and the paper I made then is almost gone now. Time to make some more!
