I wanna make/recycle my own paper

Jenna_Appleseed

looking for a decent paper making/recycling kit

I'm looking at this one http://www.gondwana.co.nz/kits.php?id=52 but don't know if it's any good (and it costs @ £21-25 on uk sites)

I've got a book called Origami and Papercraft by Paul Jackson & Vivien Frank that tells you how to make your own paper. It has instructions for making your own mold and deckles (the bit that kit describes as a "sandwich") which would obviously be much cheaper. It requires very minimal carpentry skills and the instructions, both for making the mold and deckle and for paper-making generally are extremely simply and clearly presented, step-by-step with photo illustrations. There are also suggestions for producing decorative effects and lots of other ideas for paper arts.

I picked it up in a charity shop but I expect you could get it (or something similar) out of the library.
