Supplies: I) Paper you want to recycle (any kind of paper, even colored) II) Mixer III) 2 Plastic bowls IV) Sponge V) 2 Sieves VI) Iron (optional: if you want to finish faster) VII) 2 Towels (optional: if you want to finish faster) Methodology: • • • • • • •
Rip into small pieces the paper you want to recycle and put them in the mixer with a good amount of water (don’t worry about the exact amount). Blend the mixture for 10-20 seconds. Put one sieve in the bowl with some water in it and carefully spill the mixture on. Put the second sieve on top and then carefully take it all out into the second plastic bowl. With the sponge you want to dry out as much water as you can and carefully remove the two sieves. Practically, the paper making is now over (it’s that easy). You can either, let the paper dry out or put it between the towels and use the iron for faster results. Now, you can also put the paper between some books and press it in order to get thinner.
