Several months ago I was watching the video series from The Cottage Fairy.......I just love
her shows! In one of the videos she was making paper and I remembered I had the entire
kit to make paper and so I gave it a try!
Well, I did make the paper and added wildflower seeds for "seed paper". But while I was going
through the process of making paper (and what a mess!), I kept thinking
why am I using paper to make paper!
I made several batches of paper adding herbs for color. Even though I
had screens from my kit, they were too large. I happened to catch another
paper making video and they taught you how to make your own screens, which was
really helpful.
Tip: You can buy these large flat strainers at Dollar Tree, remove the
screen material and staple it to a small wood picture frame - and there
you go, you have your own custom size.
I'm not too sure what to do with all the seed paper I made! I did scatter
the extra seeded pulp around my yard hoping I would have some
wildflowers popping up..........not happening! So does that mean the
seeded paper doesn't actually produce flowers?
Well, this craft project is just not for me!
