Can I make homemade paper without a blender?

How to make paper....?

• I'm 14 and I have a ton of old paper and I thought it would be cool to make paper with it.. rather than just throwing it away. I know you have to rip up the paper and put it in the blender with water and blend it up. But is it okay to use my blender that I use everyday? Thanks!

• Answer:

  I done this before in my art class, you get a load of newspapers or what ever paper you want to use, crush it all down with water or just put it in a blender, then lay it all out flat on a flat surface and place a flat lid over it, make sure it is really flat, press down, then wait for about 45 minutes, get a hair dryer, and dry it firmly and close till there are no wet marks. Hope this helps!
