Objective:

Make a sheet of recycled handmade paper.

Details:

1) Gather your supplies. What you'll need will vary based on the technique you choose. Watch the video above for a simple primer on paper making. Additionally, this video is a bit more involved, but is also helpful. As always, feel free to look into outside resources as well. 

Note: Make an effort to use paper you would normally discard to make your handmade paper. If you're simply using virgin paper, you're missing the "recycled" aspect of this project.

2) Make your paper!

3) Photograph your dry, finished paper and share it in our Facebook group. Alternatively, you can post it on Instagram or Twitter with the tag #QuestScouts.
