A month or two ago, I scored at Goodwill. I found a paper making kit, cheap. It had a very small frame with a screen and felt and the directions to make your own recycled paper. You take all your materials, recycled paper, napkins, newspaper.... cut/rip them up into tiny pieces. Then there is H20 and a blender involved.... once you get mulch or mush.... poor it out on to this screen, squeeze out the water and let it dry... and voila`.... hand made recycled paper.
Here are 4 different designs...with stitching....
inking simple images, and ripping the paper to give it that non perfect edge....
punching out and using and embossing folder....
and then just giving a simple look, to a beautiful note card!!
For the company that wants 'green' products, here is my small contribution!!

I took a class in handmade paper WAY back when! I loved it! You can add glitter or flowers or whatever to it. You probably already knew that. the boys have a kit too but the little blender thing they put in it- no way that thing is going to blend up paper! :)
