I have always wanted to try making paper and that is the reason I chose "flat" this month. Thanks for the information. We have not done ours yet, but I'll be sure to post how it turns out. Thank you! Hi Clara,
You read my mind! I have always wanted to try making paper and that is the reason I chose “flat” this month. Thanks for the information. We have not done ours yet, but I’ll be sure to post how it turns out. Thank you!

Papermaking! Great recycling project, and artistic and usable! You soak newspaper for a day or so, add a few drops of bleach (or not) and put into an old blender. You strain the pulp and spread a layer on a very FLAT board, place cloth or other paper on top, and weigh down, allow to dry, and while still damp, you can add flower petals, small blossoms and thin leaves to make it pretty. This was in the early 80s, so if you have any corrections, PLEASE add them! You can add thinly shredded cotton cloth before SOAKing, and this colors and strengthens the paper. You get a cream colored very artsy looking stock. Enjoy! Did I send this already? Papermaking! Great recycling project, and artistic and usable!

You're so sweet. But actually, I have nothing mathy for today's project. I have nothing at all, actually. Not even anything artsy I can try! But I'll be following the links to the other participants. For sure. Thank you, Mom! You’re so sweet. But actually, I have nothing mathy for today’s project. I have nothing at all, actually. Not even anything artsy I can try!
