how to make handmade paper • DIY tutorial [papercraft]

☆ after leaving my improvised mould and deckle untouched for almost three weeks, I finally got around to giving DIY handmade paper a go! I am so happy with how my sheets turned out, I rarely fall in love with the things I create. I'm happy to report this is one of those rare moments

just to let you know, this tutorial is sort of like a vlog - this is my ever first time making handmade paper, so I've included the tiny hiccups along the process so you can learn from my mistakes too!

hope you enjoy watching the tutorial!

Thanks for being here!
Much love, Sharmane

You need to add sizing to home made paper or you’ll get A LOT of bleeding in your paper when using ink and such it’ll function more like a paper tissue than true stationary

Edit:no I don't have a lover

Would this work okay for written letters?

I've been thinking about sending some letters and wanted to make some paper but I don't know how well it will fold or how it will take ink/paints/pens/pencils.

I don't want to make paper and then have it crack or something. Please someone tell me if it works okay when you fold it or write in it, thanks.

If you want to use your handmade paper for writing letters or painting, it would be a good idea to apply sizing. Otherwise, the inks will have a strong tendency to bleed; you fine ink handwriting will look more like you've been writing with crayons. There are YouTube vids showing various methods; I prefer wheat paste. It REALLY makes a big difference!

Your paper turned out really nice.I have been wanting to make my own paper for awhile lol but Im a bit lazy to make paper . 😋😆
I wonder what the paper would look like if you used tracing paper with flower petals and with a small amount of white paper. Maybe it would become more translucent? That would be awesome if it did lol
...Maybe one day I will try to make my own paper 😊 thank you for sharing! 😁🙏🙋

[deniseramirez]

Those came out really pretty. Looks like a really long and tiring process but the end result was most likely worth it ♥
