I made some recycled paper today and it was a great experience. At the art club we sat down and our art teacher told us how to do it. First we were given a big box full of ripped newspapers and water. Then we got a frame covered in netting which we used to sieve the paper pulp.
For a great example of how to make the net for recycled paper yourself visit: https://www.auntannie.com/Papermaking/MoldDeckle/#plastic
Then dip the frame into the pulp and slowly lift it out. I had to put it down on some newspaper and then dab it with a towel. Flip it on a drying rack or any netting from a cooking rack. Wait for it to dry and while you wait maybe make another.
For an alternative way to make recycled paper please take a look at the video below
