Collecting Paper: Gather used paper products like newspapers, office paper, and cardboard.

Shredding: Cut the paper into small pieces to make it easier to break down.

Soaking: Soak the shredded paper in water to soften it. This can take a few hours or overnight.

Pulping: Blend the soaked paper into a slurry (pulp) using a blender or a hand mixer. This breaks down the fibers.

Screening: Pour the pulp onto a flat screen or mold. You can use a fine mesh or a homemade frame with a screen.

Pressing: Use a sponge or a roller to press out excess water. This helps the paper fibers bond together.

Drying: Let the paper dry completely, either by air drying or using a heat source. Once dry, you can peel it off the screen.

Finishing: Trim the edges if needed, and your recycled paper is ready to use!
