For paper making handmade fit any trim different types paper. You can use photocopier paper, newspaper, egg cartons, and even toilet paper. A blender is needed to shred paper and prepare paper pulp. Sometimes, to increase the density, starch or PVA glue is added to the paper pulp.

You also need a sponge, cloth and a screen to work. You can make a special screen yourself, for this you need a frame and a piece of plastic or metal mesh with small cells. The size of the frame determines the size of the future sheet of paper. To make a screen, you just need to attach the mesh to the frame using a furniture stapler.

You will need a wide and deep tray slightly larger than the screen. Various decorative elements can be prepared to decorate paper: pieces of thread and foil, dried leaves and flowers, sparkles. For you can use natural or artificial dyes.

Paper making process

The first step is to prepare the paper stock. To do this, tear the prepared paper into small pieces and pour warm water over it. Soak the paper for 45 minutes. Then a mixture of paper and water must be placed in a blender and turned on for 40-60 seconds, the mass should become mushy. The longer you grind the mass in a blender, the thinner the paper will eventually be.

The second step is to pour some water into the tray. The paper mass from the blender must be poured into the tray and mixed thoroughly. If large pieces of paper remain after grinding, they are removed from the tray so that the surface of the sheet is uniform. At this stage, a little glue or starch can be added to the paper pulp, as well as decorative elements.

In the third step, the screen with the mesh is immersed in the tray. The paper mass should be evenly distributed over the surface of the screen. After that, the screen is carefully removed from the tray. It is necessary to wait until excess water drains into the tray, then the surface should be blotted with a sponge.

The screen is placed on a pre-prepared fabric, gently pressed on the grid and a sheet of paper is separated from the surface of the screen. From above, a sheet of paper must be covered with another piece of fabric and attached with a press (a heavy book is perfect for this purpose). After a while, the press is removed and the sheet is dried. To speed up the drying process, you can iron the finished paper or dry it with a hair dryer.

Introduction

Hello! My name is Dima.

I study at school in the 3rd grade and I am surrounded by objects made of paper everywhere: books, textbooks, notebooks, notebooks, albums, colored paper, cardboard and other items. And recently I watched a TV show that talked about paper and how it is made. I wanted to know more about this.

Hypothesis: if you study the history and methods of creating paper, then paper can be made and used at home in domestic conditions.

Problem : is it possible to make paper at home for its further use.

Target: learn how to create and use paper in modern conditions.

Object of study: paper.

Subject of study:ways to create and use paper.

Tasks:

Study the literature on paper, the history of paper making, paper making methods, make paper at home

The history of paper.

Paper has not always existed. Once, a very long time ago, people did not know writing, did not know how to write. Primitive people made their drawings on the walls of caves, carved them on the rocks.

Then people began to write on wet clay tablets with pointed sticks, and then on birch bark, later on papyrus, parchment, only then (almost 2000 years ago) paper appeared.

The raw materials for making paper were mulberry and bamboo. The word "paper" comes from the word "bambigo" - the so-called paper made from bamboo.

For centuries, paper has been made by hand. After the invention of the first paper machine by the Frenchman Robert (1761-1828), the production of paper and cardboard made a sharp leap forward.

Paper began to be used not only for writing and printing books, for packaging goods, but also in construction, industry, agriculture, and electrical engineering.

Modern ways of making paper

Modern methods of making paper differ little from those that were used 2000 years ago.

Making paper at home

Did you know that you can make your own paper?

1. Tear the paper into small pieces and soak in water for 24 hours

2. Squeeze out excess water, transfer to a basin. Add a little water, a teaspoon of PVA glue (for bonding paper) and a tablespoon of starch (so that the sheet is elastic and can bend), beat with a mixer. The result should be a mixture like porridge.

3. Put the resulting mixture on the grid and allow excess water to drain

1. Now it's time for the final drying.Put everything on a towel, put gauze or newspaper on top and leave it under pressure for 24 hours. And ifwe want to get a thin sheet of paper, we need to lay out the mass in a thin and even layer.

1. As a result of this exciting activity, it turns out very beautiful paper handmade.

6. For decoration, dry herbs, spices, multi-colored threads, leaves, flower petals, shells and beads can be added to the paper pulp.

7. Handmade sheets can be used for design work: books, postcards, panels, for painting.

8. You can dry the paper mass not on the screen, but on a cup or on a glass, and then you get a decorative vase or bowl, a pencil holder, a hat for a doll.

Conclusion:

1. Paper can be made at home.

2. It is beneficial to use homemade paper, because. it is made from waste paper and does not require cash costs.

3. It is best to use such paper for registration.

4. In addition, homemade paper is more environmentally friendly.

You can dry the paper mass not on the screen, but on a cup or on a glass, and then you get a decorative vase or bowl, a pencil holder, a hat for a doll.

1. Paper can be made at home. Making handmade paper is a very interesting and creative process. And quite uncomplicated. And what an amazing result: an exclusive paper of your own design! 2. It is beneficial to use homemade paper, because. it is made from waste paper and does not require cash costs. 3. It is best to use such paper for registration. 4. In addition, homemade paper is more environmentally friendly. Conclusion:

It is rare when creative people limit themselves to one type of needlework: as a rule, we want to try more and more new types of handicraft. And every beader should know how to make paper: imagine what a sensation you will make if you use handmade paper as a substrate for your jewelry! Such paper can also be used as a postcard: its texture is unique, and there is no way in the world that will allow you to make 2 identical sheets.

So, for work you will need:

• Blender
• Water container: bowl, pot or tray. I bought myself a tray in a pet store, usually used as cat toilet
• Frame and mesh (details below) - should be smaller than the water tank by about 10 cm on each side: you should be able to easily submerge them into the water tank by holding the side edges with your hands.
• Several foam sponges for washing dishes
• A few pieces of fabric that absorbs water very well. I used sheets of felt, and then I found in the kitchen the household napkins that are usually used for wiping surfaces (sold in the household departments under the Cinderella and Cleaner brands). They are perfect for making paper!
• Paper: cardboard boxes from once gifted perfumes, carton packaging for eggs, paper for printers, napkins, wrapping paper .. Almost any will do! It is not recommended to use glossy magazines and newspapers as there is too much printing ink.
• All kinds of inclusions: leaves, grass, threads, wool, glitter, confetti - to decorate paper and give it a unique color.

Pour some water into the blender and put the paper in it, after tearing it into small pieces. I put in a few pieces of white card stock and a few pieces of thick orange paper for color. Paper can be dyed in several ways: mixing white sheets with colored ones, as well as by steeping it in onion skins, tea and other natural dyes.

Now cover your ears and turn on the blender... We need to bring the source material to the state of slurry: as a rule, this takes about a minute. Here you can go two ways: grind the paper until smooth or stop halfway, as I did. Look at the mass in the blender and the photo finished paper: there are visible bright orange blotches. It's unshredded orange paper.

Pour the resulting mass into a container with warm water. At the same stage, add to the inclusion bowl: confetti, threads... whatever you see fit!

The turn of the main tools has come, without which the process of making paper is practically impossible: the grid and the frame. I had two frames, one of which was stretched with a fine mesh. The mesh is needed in order to trap paper particles and let water through. A frame without a grid is needed to give sheets of paper a rectangular shape. You need to use them as shown in the photo: the frame with the grid is located below, the grid is up. A frame without a grid is placed on top.

Align the sides of the two frames, take them with both hands (the mesh is facing you, the frame is on top), and dip into the basin as shown in the photo below. First vertically.

Then carefully move the frame and grid to a horizontal position, lowering it under water. In photography, I hold the frame and grid with one hand only because I take the photo with the other. I usually hold them with both hands.

Remove the frame and mesh from the basin strictly vertically. Wet paper pulp will remain on top of the grid. Let the water drain (about a minute), then take a sponge and start blotting from the underside: where the wet paper pulp is separated from the sponge by a grid. Wring out the sponge (or change it) 2-3 times.

Now carefully remove the frame from the grid. We have a rectangle of wet paper pulp on the grid. Set it aside and prepare a place for your paper to dry.

I did it on the windowsill - it's good that its width allows. So, on a flat surface that is not afraid of moisture, put plastic bag, on top of it - several newspaper sheets. Wet and lightly wring out a piece of absorbent cloth and place on top of the newspapers. It is very important that the fabric is damp and has a non-woven structure. Now take the grid on which the wet paper rests, lean with a wide edge against the wet non-woven material (household napkin) so that the grid is on the bottom and the paper is on top. Flip the mesh over in one quick and gentle motion.

Now the paper pulp lies on a damp cloth, a mesh closes it on top. Take a sponge and start blotting the mesh, removing excess moisture from the paper pulp:

Wring out (or change) the sponge properly several times. At this stage, we must remove as much moisture as possible from the side of the mesh. When there is little water left on the sponge after blotting, slightly lift the narrow edge of the mesh and look under it: if the paper does not stick to the fabric and rises with the mesh, continue to remove excess water with a sponge. If the paper separates from the mesh and stays stuck to the fabric, great, that's what we need. Carefully remove the mesh, leaving the paper on the fabric. At this stage, not everything can go smoothly - practice and experience are needed here. A couple of times my sheet of paper was torn, until I realized that it is very important that the "receiving" fabric is wet: then the paper pulp will more easily stick to it and come off the mesh.

If you want to make one sheet of paper, you can leave it to dry directly on the grid or on the fabric. If you want to make several sheets in one session, cover the still wet sheet of paper with the next layer of wet non-woven fabric, and repeat the procedure from the beginning. Lay the next sheet on top of the previous one, lay wet household wipes between them.

When you run out of felt sheets and household napkins (or when you run out of strength and desire to continue), put the last piece of felt material on top of the resulting layered construction (this time you can take dry), you can put a towel on top, then a few newspapers, a plastic bag , and press it down with a plank or a thick art book - if anything, the package will save her! Put the heaviest dumbbells on top, and leave your sheets for a day or three under this press. Once a day, it is advisable to disassemble and ventilate the structure - so that nothing in the moisture is rotten and moldy. AT summer days paper will dry faster than in rainy autumn. Proximity to heating devices is also important: my drying structure lay on the windowsill directly above the central heating battery, which accelerated its drying. When the paper dries, dry it a little in the open air, and put it under the press again for a few days.

As an option: if the mesh and frame used above seemed too complicated or hard to reach for you, you can use the materials at hand that every housewife has: an embroidery hoop and a mosquito net, or in general, just a mosquito net.

In this case, the sheets are round and more textured, due to big size cells in a mosquito net. If you use mesh alone, the pulp will float away and the sheets will be shapeless and thinner at the edges. I used this design before I got the grid and frame, and, most likely, I will never use it again - compared to a rectangular grid and frame, this is very inconvenient!

Discussion

One note - a way to make two identical sheets has already been invented;) Eh, technology!

a very laborious process is written here - but everything is very simple and easy and you get a lot of fun !!! I took an iron sieve and grabbed paper from a basin of water with it - then squeezed out the water - turned it over as it was written on a wet cloth and put it all on a towel - wring everything out again and then iron everything with an iron !!! try it and you will succeed!!!

interesting. But really, it’s a bit complicated :) Paper is made from napkins using a slightly similar technology, only there, like PVA, is still used in the process. whole there is a community in Learn on this topic. I haven't done it yet, but I want to try :)

this is a very tricky way. It might be interesting... When you know why you are making such a thing. When you may have felt the resulting paper somewhere.
But there is usually little time for packaging or creativity, and something faster is suitable for business.

Once on the site, on the owl's blog:

there was infa about making paper from waste paper. But after rummaging there thoroughly, I saw that the owners deleted the reports about this, unfortunately ... I had to climb in the tyrnet.
I won’t copy-paste. Here, IMHO, is a very good overview of making paper at home from waste paper:
livescience.ru/article_60/
There are plenty of such ways in tyrnet! But what to do when the waste paper runs out??? And it will definitely end! Grandfather said that during the Second World War, the announcements of the Fritz on the poles were torn off to “smoke.” Not to mention the newspapers ...
In general, I share information that is not available on the Internet. Or almost none ...
1. For the manufacture of paper, we take pine or spruce sawdust. Fill them with water and set to boil for a day. .And I wanted to sleep at night. Therefore, I cooked them for about 10 hours).

2.In the solution, it is recommended to add caustic soda. But at that time I didn’t get one. Therefore, I added food. I think potash would also come up. But, judging by the observations, this is not the main thing in the process. output (the smaller the detail, the better!)


3. As I wrote above, during the cooking process, it is very important to ensure that the sawdust does not stick out and fall out of the pan - they must be stirred systematically.




4. While sawdust is being cooked, we prepare a deep bath (I took a baking sheet) and make a frame with gauze stretched over it (I must make a reservation that the farther, the more I am convinced that in the PM it will not be superfluous a piece of gauze and a pestle with a mortar - IMHO of course).




5. When the cooking process is completed, we take a drushlak, all the same gauze, wash the sawdust from soda and wring it out.




6. Next, put them back into the pan, add half a glass of starch (I used just the potato starch I got :)
, bays with water (1: 1) and put it on fire again.




7. After boiling, sawdust is crushed. Without the benefits of civilization, this is done with a pestle in a mortar (large). But until the BP came, I used a mixer and a blender attachment.
Ideally, at the exit we should get a homogeneous, mushy mass. But for the first time, the sawdust turned out to be a little coarse for me.



8. Next, everything is like with waste paper. Pour the mass into a frame shape.




9. We soak something (any moisture-absorbing material, even take sphagnum). I took old newspapers with printing ink.


10. Turn over and carefully separate the sheet from the frame.


11. We close it with a newspaper on both sides. We lay it between two boards. And for 3-5 minutes under the press. As a press, I had myself ...




12.Next, we carefully lay out the sheet on the foil (another material) and dry it in the way that is available to us (sun, battery, oven, iron). I dried it in the oven.






13. The first result was not very successful. The paper turned out to be thick and tight. And although I added starch, it bent very weakly. But taking into account the mistakes, I am moving towards better results.


14. Of course, she won’t pull on the toilet, but you can try to write a chronicle on it.)

This article is quite unusual in it, we will try to tell you in detail, how to make your own paper with their own hands from the most diverse raw materials. Of course, such paper is hardly suitable for letters and business documents, but for decorative purposes, for example, in technology, it can be used.

How to make your own paper

Interesting master classes

Master class number 1. Homemade grass paper.

Turns out original paper can be made from many types of the most common grass. It should be noted that the process of making such paper includes working with a dangerous chemical preparation - alkali, which evaporates very intensively, so the entire manufacturing process should be carried out in the open air so that toxic fumes do not accumulate. Also, it will not be superfluous to wear a respirator, goggles and, of course, rubber gloves - medical or household, hands must be fully protected. How exactly grass paper is created, our first master class will tell you in detail.

To create paper from grass, we need:

Dry reed that grows along the banks of water bodies;

Alkali - fifty-one hundred grams;

Starch;

Ice cubes;

Two wooden frames;

Fine plastic mesh;

Natural cotton fabric;

Elastic;

Foam sponge.

How to make your own paper: a step-by-step master class

First step. As we noted above, we will make our paper from grass growing on the banks of water bodies, outwardly it resembles a small reed. We cut it with ordinary scissors into small pieces, about seven to ten centimeters long.

Third step. Then we take fifty to one hundred grams of alkali and combine it in a plastic bowl with one glass of cold water, which we previously turned into pieces of ice.

Fourth step. Let the chemical dissolve and carefully pour the mixture into a saucepan with herbal decoction in a thin stream.

Sixth step. So alkaline-herbal decoction can remotely stand until it cools completely. After that, it should be drained through a sieve, and we wash the remaining grass for a long time in running cold water until all the alkali is washed out of it and it ceases to be slippery to the touch. spend all this procedure should only be worn with rubber gloves.

Seventh step. After the grass is thoroughly washed, we sort it out and remove all large stems and twigs, leaving only a small mass.

Ninth step. Separately, we brew a little starch and combine it with herbal puree. Mix and let it brew a little.

Tenth step. While our herbal mass is infused with starch, we will make special frames for handmade paper molding. Of course, such frames can be bought ready-made in special art stores, but we prefer not to spend money and decided to make them ourselves. To do this, we take two identical ordinary wooden frames for photographs or paintings, tightly pull a fine plastic mesh onto one frame and fasten it around the edges with pushpins. Here you can use a regular household mosquito net. Please note that the size of the frames you have chosen will fully correspond to the size of the sheet of paper that you are going to make by hand.

Eleventh step. Now we take a large bowl, it can be either round or square shape, the main thing is that our manufactured frame fits freely into it. We fill the basin with cold water, put several handfuls of pulp made from herbal puree and starch into the water and mix everything well with our hands.

Twelfth step. Next, we take two frames, on one of which we previously stretched a plastic mesh. We put the empty one on top of the mesh and tightly fasten them together along the edges with an ordinary elastic band so that they do not move apart during work.

Thirteenth step. We carefully immerse the construction of two frames into a basin with diluted pulp, so that the frame with the mesh is at the bottom, and scoop up the liquid with them. Next, we hold our frames over the basin, waiting for all the excess water to drain.

Fourteenth step. Then we carefully remove the rubber bands, and with them the upper wooden frame, and carefully turn the lower frame with the mesh, on which the herbal raw materials for making paper remain as a solid ball, onto the cotton fabric previously spread on a flat hard surface.

Fifteenth step. Using a regular foam sponge, carefully collect the remaining moisture from the surface of the mesh. We blot several times, and only after making sure that the mesh is almost dry, carefully remove the frame, while leaving the first layer of grass on the fabric.

Sixteenth step. We cover this grass layer from above with a second piece of natural cotton fabric.

Eighteenth step. On top of all layers of grass paper covered with cotton cloth, we install a load, it is important that its weight is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the sheets, for this you can first put an ordinary cutting board or a flat tray on the top sheet, and then put something heavy on them, such as a jar or bottle of water.

Nineteenth step. After a few hours, carefully change the heavily soaked pieces of cotton fabric and set the load again.

Twenty step. When all sheets of grass paper are almost dry, lay them out separately and leave to dry completely in the open air.

Twenty-first step. At the end, each piece of paper is carefully smoothed with a warm iron, after which it is fashionable to assume that the detailed master class on how to make paper yourself grass finished.

This grass paper turns out to have a very unusual texture, it can be used for a variety of purposes, for example, to make various papers from it, draw small pictures on it, etc.

Master class number 2. Fragrant paper with their own hands.

This master class will tell you how to make paper fast with a pleasant mild fragrance. To make it, we need:

Special mesh screen designed for casting handmade paper;

Plastic basin of the appropriate size;

Old waste paper;

Terry towel;

Natural waffle kitchen towel;

Hydroperite tablets;

Dye;

Essential oil (any);

dried flower;

sequins;

PVA glue;

Blender.

How to make paper yourself step by step with fragrance.

First step. Let's start by taking the most unnecessary paper - it can be napkins, newspapers, sheets of office paper, school notebooks, etc. and cut it all into small pieces or cut with scissors.

Second step. Shredded paper is placed in an enamel pan, filled with water and put on fire. Cook the paper until it acquires a thick porridge-like consistency.

Third step. When the paper broth is ready, remove it and cool.

Fifth step. To whiten paper, we need to use hydroperite tablets, which are used to lighten hair. To do this, grind several packs of tablets into powder and combine them with water.

Sixth step. Pour the wrung out boiled paper with the resulting mixture, mix for several minutes, then remove the paper and wring it out well. We do all this with rubber gloves to protect our hands from the chemical preparation.

Seventh step. Now our future paper needs to be slightly tinted. To do this, dilute a little dye in hot water, carefully mix everything and lower the boiled, wrung out and already bleached paper into it. Beat the resulting mixture well with a mixer or blender until a homogeneous thick consistency.

Eighth step. In order for our paper to turn out, it needs a binding element, which in our case is PVA glue. Of course, starch can also be used for these purposes, but it needs to be brewed and this process takes additional time, so we decided to work with glue, it will adequately cope with its duty. It should also be noted that you can do without any binder, in this case the paper will still turn out, only it will be more fragile and delicate.

Ninth step. Pour the finished mixture into a basin, into which our special frame for handmade paper molding can freely enter. You can make it yourself, as described in detail in the first master class, or buy it ready-made in art stores.

Tenth step. Next, we take the above-mentioned frame and scoop up a mixture of water and paper from the basin and carefully distribute the wet paper over the entire surface of the grid so that it lies in an even single layer. Let excess water drain into a bowl.

Eleventh step. According to our idea, we will have fancy paper, with a natural pattern, for this we take a dried flower and lay it randomly over the entire surface of the frame.

Twelfth step. Then add some sparkles to the dried flower and drip a few drops of any essential oil.

Thirteenth step. To ensure that all selected decorations are inside the paper and do not fall off when using it. On top we impose another thin layer of wet paper mixture.

Fourteenth step. We put the finished frame with the future sheet of unusual fragrant paper on a hard flat surface, previously covered with a terry towel. The towel should quickly absorb any excess moisture from the paper.

Sixteenth step. Carefully turn the frame with paper on the table, remove it and continue to evaporate excess moisture from the paper from the back.

Seventeenth step. After that, we take the made fragrant sheet of homemade paper and place it under the press, it is important that the weight is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the paper, for this we should place a cutting board of a suitable size, a book or something similar on top of the piece of paper and put something on top heavy.

Eighteenth step. At the end, we remove a sheet of paper from under the press and dry it in the open air.

Our unusual homemade scented paper is ready!
