How to make paper  In the first step you have to use paper that you don’t need any more. Then you need to rip it into little pieces. The pieces must not be too big or too small. You have to get a container that is filled with water. When you are finished you have to put the paper into the container. The next day you have to put your hand in the container to make sure that the paper is soft. III. Writing

The second step  The second step is you have to get a blender, food color, a black net, a picture frame, and a stapler that is for hard wood. When you have all the stuff you have to get the picture frame and the black net. Get the stapler. Cut the black net a little bigger than the picture frame. Then, put the black net onthe picture frame to staple it together. III. Writing

The third step Get some paper from the container, and put it in the blender. Get the food color and put some into the blender. Then turn it on so it could make it very soft. When you are finished doing that, you have to put it in the picture frame. When you are done, put it outside so it could become dry. Leave it there for about for three days. When it dries, you could use it to write or to draw. III. Writing
