In the video below from Stafil is to see how to make your own paper step-by-step.

1. Week the pulp sheets in water.
2. Break up the pulp with a hand blender. If the mixture is too solid, add a little warm water.
3. Fill half a tub with water, stir the pulp into this, wait until the pulp floats to the surface. The more pulp there is, the thicker the paper will become.
4. Dip the frame vertically into the paper pulp, lift it horizontally, and let it drain. As desired, sprinkle with glitter or dried flowers.
5. Place the mould on the paper pulp in the frame and drain the water. Turn it over and place it on a towel or felt mat. Remove the paper from the frame.
6. Press the paper flat using a heavy object.
