Paper Making!

For art we had to make Paper from scratch, We ripped up used paper and put it in a blender and we were allowed to add anything else we might want to make it look cooler, I put different colored papers and parsley spices and some sparkles to make it have a cool kind of look to it, I did that for a couple pieces of paper, I made 7 sheets of home made paper and I was very satisfied with how they turned out! :)


At first I was having some troubles with how I should Bind them together and make them look good, i wanted to make them into a book basically. I ended up using a hole punch and tying ribbon through them to keep them all together and it looked pretty good! 
I did also help two of the Special Needs students Howard and Roy make some paper of their own, I wasn't sure if I'd have permission to post any of the pictures I was in with them during the process so none of the picture will be added but their papers also turned out so good and I am glad to have been a part of helping them make some cool pieces of paper! :)
Yesterday for Art we saw an empty Hornets nest outside that looked pretty cool so me and Mrs.Rose thought it would be cool to make that into paper as well and it turned out like this:


The second attempt ended up failing because we added too many sticks but the end results looked good! Tell me what you think! :) Thanks

  1. Hi Sara. I saw the finished product. It was pretty neat. I thought it was an awesome idea to use the nest in the paper. I also think it's pretty great that you helped Howard and Roy make paper. I hope your generosity of spirit and time is contagious!
