Here are directions to make paper out of lint:
You will need:
Container, Lint, Water, Blender, Screen, Basin, Sponge, Sturdy, Cardboard, 2 Towels, Something heavy (I used books)
1. Put the lint in a container with enough warm water to completely cover the lint. Soak the lint for at least 30 minutes.
You can soak it overnight.
We used hot water instead of warm water.
2. Pour the lint and water mixture into a blender. Puree.
3. While the mixture is blending, set up your screen and basin by putting the screen on top of the basin.
4. Pour the blended mixture onto the screen.
5. Spread the lint around. Try to make it as thin as you can.
6. Use your hand to press out some of the excess water.
7. Lay the towel and then cardboard over the lint, and carefully flip the screen over.
8. Remove the screen and press the lint firmly with a dry sponge to remove more excess water.
9. Put the other towel over the lint and set heavy item on top.
10. Leave until dried.
Have fun writing on your lint paper!!!
