- Good Morning class! Today, we are learning about how paper is made!
- Trees!
- First, we are going to go over what paper is. Now, does anyone know where paper comes from?
- Next, today's activity! we will use this scrape paper to make our own paper!
- I am going to go step by step, and then you can start the activity for yourselves. Any Questions?Watch closely okay?
- Fill the blender halfway with water, then add a handfulof the soaked paper. Blend at medium speed until you no longer see pieces of paper, and the pulp has a soupy consistency.Pour the mixture into the large basin and then fill the basin with water, mixing thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly dispersed.Slide the deckle into the basin. Put some pulp onto the screen and, still holding the deckle underwater, gently move it back and forth to get an even layer of fibers on the screen.
- 4. Lift the deckle out of the mixture, keeping it flat. Allow it to drip until most of the water has drained off. You should have a uniform layer of pulp mixture on the deckle. Press the pulp gently with your hand to squeeze out excess moisture (rubber gloves will help). Soak up any excess water from the bottom of the screen with a sponge5. Place newspaper on a flat surface and turn the screen paper-side-down on the cloth. Lift the screen gently, leaving the paper. Gently tap the screen to help release the paper.6.Let it dry naturally for several hours or overnight. Gently peel off the paper when it is dry.
- No Ma'am!
- There we go! At the end we have to let it dry and we'll have finished paper tomorrow morning. Any questions?
- Good! Now take some supplies and go start your paper at your work stations!
