Papermaking 101

Though we’re constantly moving toward more electronic and less paper-based communication, we’ve all got paper we don’t need laying around, be it junk mail, newspaper, receipts, magazines, paper bags, books, or whatever else. If we’re lucky, it ends up in the recycling bin. What about giving old paper new life by making it into new paper? Francois Vigneault shared his fun and simple how-to in CRAFT Volume 05, and you can check out the tutorial in Make: Projects. Learn how to build a pour mold, make pulp from the old pages in your blender, and pour yourself some handmade paper.

Papermaking Mold

BY Goli Mohammadi

I'm senior editor of MAKE magazine and have worked at MAKE since the first issue. I'm a word nerd who particularly loves to geek out on how emerging technology affects the lexicon as a whole. When not fawning over perfect word choices, I can be found on the nearest mountain, looking for the ideal alpine lake or hunting for snow to feed my inner snowboard addict.
