Preparation of the paper pulp

Preparation of the paper pulp

To know how to do the recycled, The steps are the following:

We cut pieces of paper daily and let them soak in a basin of water for a week.

If we want, we can add a little plastic paint to the water so that it takes color.

Then we just mash them well with a blender.

If you like, add a little wallpaper glue to the mixture to give it more consistency.

Dip a square-shaped piece in the basin, and extract it carefully so that we have a paste all over the piece.

We press the folio, although on the sieve, between two pieces of wood, to drain the water. Putting newspaper on both sides helps absorb moisture. Also a sponge can be helpful to soak up the remaining water.

We carefully peel off the sheet and leave it spread with tweezers for one or two days to dry. There are those who adhere it to a piece of cloth to prevent it from tearing.

We cut so that it adopts a perfectly squared shape.

You want it, you can give it a "special" touch if we submerge it briefly in a little water to which it will have to throw a few drops of synthetic paint (not soluble in water) of various colors.
