This is how you can make paper at home.

Soak some old news paper in water for half hour. You can cut them into strips and then soak them. 

Grind them or mash them into soft pulp. you may add some colour and small amount of any gum to this paste.

fill water in a broad plastic tub and add the pulp to it. Stir it well

Take a round or square sieve dip it in the tub with the mixture. Take it out carefully making sure that the sieve is fully

coated. It should be a thin coating.                                                                  

Tilt the sieve so that water is completely drained. 

Place it on a on another news paper upside down and wait for two minutes.

Try to separate the paper from the sieve with a sharp knife or with your fingers.

It should peal away from the sieve.

Leave it to dry for about an hour.

The paper is ready.

If you feel adventurous you can add perfume or flower petals or grass to the pulp before you add water.

Happy paper making.

 It might be a good idea to let the adults know what you are doing if you are a young person.
