You've just reminded me of something else I never got around to do for christmas !!!!
I recently tried this method and added seeds to it (cress just to try it out). I did plan on making my own christmas tags with it, using some pansy seeds ...... hmmm, never got around to doing it
!!

I used an old photoframe, stapled some mesh fabric to it, and used a (new, unused !!!) cat litter tray.
Made it with my 5yr old, she thought it was great fun (especially when she turned on the blender ...... before I had chance to put the lid on :rotfl:
Have a look on utube, loads of different video instructions to follow

Ive done it with old photo frame and wire mesh... but it can be anything thats flat and allos you to strain out the water- you could look in kitchen department for a type of splatter/sieve and use that. You just need somehting that small bits of paper arnt going to fall through.
Go for it , its fun to try.0 -
i got a paper making kit from MIL for Christmas, the box contained a round ring clamp thing, the type that you would use for cross stich, and some white paper to cut up and pulp!!!
I bet she paid at least £20 for it!!!!!!
That means im gonna be pulping perfectly good paper to make new lumpy paper lolIt only takes a second to say 'Thanks, you just saved me a few quid!'
