We once did this using a food processor and I had to bleach the thing about a million times before I dared used it for food, but I didn't put enough thought into what paper we put in it. Has anyone tried doing this with a hand blender? They are a bit cheaper! Your paper looks beautiful up on the window!

I know I have been to your blog before...someone recommended I come read a post here once before...glad to see you again through the unplugged project. I remember making paper when I was in high school - it was fun. I like your drying technique...that would look great on our currently curtain-less windows. I bet LittleA would love a stack of these sheets to make a book with. Thanks for the idea. I look forward to stopping back again soon. welcome to the unplugged challenge.

Maybe I should pick up an old blender one day if I make it more often... lol… thanks for the tip… :)

I totally don't want to sound like a wet blanket here, but I just wanted to let you know that whenever I made paper I had a specific blender for blending the paper (as opposed to the one I use for food). The ink in the paper can be toxic, (though some are soy-based, I just don't know if the ink in the paper you're using, is) Not that you also wouldn't clean your blender, ...I digress :) Hey there!

Your way looks easier and is much cheaper. We had a kit for paper making when my daughters were little. Your way looks easier and is much cheaper.

I haven't had the heat to cut into the pieces here. That's a good idea you have there - hanging the finished art up in the window. When I tried this we used an iron but since all the towels were wet it was rather useless. Nice towel by the way - I've got the same one in my swim bag!
