Pulp & Deckle: Making Recycled Handmade Paper

Thanks for all the views and comments! This is not a tutorial for learning how to make paper, but a fun promo video we made when Pulp + Deckle was first starting out. Enjoy!

When you’re a college student who learned how to do this to get rid of old high school tests that she thought was going to be relevant to college but it wasn’t 😭 Gotta recycle these bad boys now

I make paper pulp by placing junk mail and sensitive documents that need disposing in a 5 gallon bucket 3/4 filled with water. I also add a little bleach to prevent bacteria and mold growth. When the bucket has enough paper in it, I let it soak for one more day. Then I use a paint mixer (metal bar) in my drill to pulverize the paper. I don't have a shredder so this works very well for me. I end up with a large quantity of pulp. This might be a good method if a person is not in a hurry.

What we do, we soak the paper overnight. It blend without damaging the blender

I can make thin, thick and flat paper. I'm happy if I can discuss it so that handmade recycled paper is of higher quality and useful

[hopsaqo]

Greedo would approve this papers quality.

[nicole]

They weren't kidding when they said closer and faster. XD

Just wondering.... as an end process, can a roller be used to smooth out the paper fibers? If so, should it be done after they have *completely* dried, or while the pages are still slightly damp?

I like how fast this video is running.

[frankmelero]

What material is the yellow towel that you use initially and then what is the White Towel Material to dry?

[Morgilwen]
