Curiosity
How to make recycled paper


Material:
• paper and water
• basins: flat and deep
• bucket
• wooden frame with cloth or nylon straight sieve
• hollow wooden frame (without screen)
• blender
Newspaper or felt
cloth
sponges or rags
line clothes and preachers
Press or two planks of wood
concave sieve (with "belly")
table

Procedure:
A - Preparing the pulp: Prick the paper and let it sauce for a day or a night in the flat basin, to soften. Put water in blender and paper, the proportion of three parts of water for a paper. Beat for ten seconds and disconnect. Wait a minute and beat again for another ten seconds. The pulp is ready.

B - Making the paper:
1. Pour the pulp into a large bowl, larger than the frame.
2. Place the frame on the hollow frame with canvas. Soak the frame vertically and throw it in the bottom of the basin.
3. Hold them still in a horizontal position, and slowly, so that the flesh is deposited on the screen. Hold the excess water drain into the basin and carefully remove the hollow frame.
4. Turn the frame with the flesh down on a paper or cloth.
5. Remove the excess water with a sponge.
6. Lift the frame, leaving the sheet of paper craft still wet on the paper.

C - Pressed the leaves For your paper craft sheets to dry faster and the interlacing of fibre stays stronger, make piles with the newspaper as follows:
• Stack three sheets of newspaper with paper craft. Merge with six sheets of paper or a piece of felt and put three more sheets of newspaper with paper. Continue on to form a stack of 12 sheets of paper craft.

• Place a pile of leaves in the press for 15 minutes. If it does not press, put the pile of leaves on the ground and push with a piece of wood.
• Hang the sheets of paper with the paper craft until the clothes line dry completely. Remove each sheet of paper of the newspaper and make a pile with them. Put this in the press stack for 8 hours or inside a heavy book for a week.
