: Tear your paper scraps into small pieces (about 2 inches) and soak them in water. Use a blender—often found at thrift stores like those recommended by Catherine Rains —to blend the scraps with water until they reach a pulpy texture.
: Pour the pulp into a large plastic tub filled with water. Use a "mould and deckle" (a frame with a screen) to scoop up the pulp. As you lift it, the water drains away, leaving a layer of interlocking fibers on the screen.
: You can add decorative elements like flower petals, seeds, or kitchen spices during the forming stage.
