(not to mention the six hours it took to bleach. yuck.) It just wasn't sturdy! What is the sturdiness with this kind of paper? I have been trying to figure out how to make my handmade paper more durable, but don't really feel like adding two cups of elmers to my mix. Does it just come down to what kind of paper one is putting in? I made some lint paper recently, and found it was very floppy and not very suitable to book binding, much less even printing on.

I wish I had stumbled upon your blog sooner in the semester so that I could make my own paper for Silk Screening instead of having to cut up fresh paper. But that's what next semester is for! I think you're rather splendiforours, as I have always dreamed of making my own paper. I'm a nerd, I know. And real quick - what kind of plastic?

I’m a nerd, I know.

And real quick – what kind of plastic?

I think you're fabulous 2. I have a very similar sewing machine, but mine's and even OLDER model to the one on the top of the page. It's so brutal trying to figure out why it messes up all the time. Stupid old machine haha. Hey, I just wanted to tell you:

That's awesome that you did this for your wedding invitations.. I never even thought about mixing stuff in to make them scented, that's genius! I threw some seeds into a few of mine too, I was gunna water them and see if they bloomed hehe :) I've seen places that sell paper with seeds embedded in them so you can plant them later.. so I'd imagine they'd still grow :) Thanks!

I actually used this method to make invitations for my wedding. I mixed hand-fulls of dried chamomile in the blender which scented the paper and also showed some spores and stems and stuff. Then I stirred in some strips of green tissue paper. They turned out quite lovely. I even sprinkled some wildflower seeds on some of the paper while still wet, and pressed it down. It came out really neat, but I don't know if it could really be planted. I've yet to experiment... You're blog is lots of fun!- Keep up the good work! That’s awesome!!

I think it might make it a little bit harder to pull it back up after you're done squeezing the water out.. with plastic, obviously, it's flexible enough to pull back up. Glass should work though I'd imagine, it's worth a shot if that's all you have :) Thanks for visiting! I would imagine so.

I am thinking of giving it a try and was just wondering if it would be ok to just use the frame glass instead of the piece of plastic. :D Hi, I just came across your blog by chance ^^

Great tutorial!

I am thinking of giving it a try and was just wondering if it would be ok to just use the frame glass instead of the piece of plastic.
