Yesterday My Father made me a surprise by buyin me a wonderful magazine called Ideal Home: Decor
He have the impression of my love to handmade things and especially paper as a light material which can decorate almost everything. He saw that it was this tutorial there and now I can't wait to show you how to make your own paper!
Materials are:
- Used paper, torn into chunks [roughly palm-sized]
- An old picture frame
- Screen, large enough to cover frame [nylon, charcoal, fiberglass, or mixed]
- Scissors
- Stapler
- Small tub or sink, with a few inches of water in it
- Blender
- [optional] Liquid starch for clothing
- [optional] Spices, like cinnamon, for scent
- [optional] Grass, leaves, flowers, glitter, etc. for embellishment

It can be used for cards, notebooks- as a cover, journals, sketchbooks and more and more other papergoods.
You can use also different kinds of leafs or twigs and also the paper can be pressed with something so you can get effect of some texture.
