I also had the same problems with the temu mold and deckle. I also removed the hinge and actually cut out the screen and restapled a new one to avoid that dip. Oh my goodness whoever made this mold and deckle obviously never made paper before!! It's totally unusable as is. I should have known just but looking at the listing photos, but I failed to realize these crucial design errors. It might be okay for paper with the thickness of cardboard haha I love your paper making videos. I'm excited to see how your new environment might influence your creativity ♡

The only good thing I have to say right now about the temu one is that it works. 😬 I am pretty disappointed with the screen because it’s actually some sort of fabric and I don’t think it will hold up for long. I am actually excited to explore more until my mould and deckle arrives. I will be picking random wildflowers over the weekend and we’ll see how they were in papermaking. I will definitely share that here too. ❤️

I bought paper making stuff like 5 years ago and ended up hyperfixating on other stuff before I had the chance to use it. How unfortunate that I want to do this at 11pm haha, my downstairs neighbors would not appreciate me blending paper right now!

Papermaking is fun especially for kids! It allows them to be messy and creative at the same time. ❤ Have a great time with your grandkids Gabriel!

Any tips on selling handmade paper? I can not find any videos on the subject, loads on how to make but none on how to start a little side hustle in selling it, where, packing , presenting it etc , thanks 🙏

Thanks for this video. Your explanations are so clear! I have a question. Do you think it’s possible to place additives around the edges of the pulp after it’s in the mold, in order to create a sort of frame within the piece of paper, leaving the center area without any additives?
@shacee

Yes you can! But it depends on the additives if it will naturally grab on to the pulp fibers. Otherwise it might just fall off when the paper is dry. 🤔 I suggest doing the embedding technique! Will make a video of this on too!

If I could turn back time, I would’ve brought a pair with me to the UK! This one from temu is flimsy 😅

I love your video's! After I watched the first one I started collecting all my scraps of paper from my Junk Journaling and I am planning to try to make some paper soon. I do have a question do you use dried flowers or fresh?
@shacee

I’ve tried both! But I prefer to used dried flowers because they have a better chance of keeping their color. 🌸

How do you keep the paper from falling off the couch when you hang it? Do you wet the couch first? Some of mine fell off 😢

Thanks so much for the videos. I used to do papermaking a long time ago, and needed some brushing up! Just one question please- does the blender need to be a certain wattage or heavy duty? I need to buy one.

My pleasure! I just got the standard kitchen blender one, nothing industrial. My only advice is to have a good water to paper ratio when blending so it doesn’t overheat. If the blender is resisting to blend, add more water. ❤️

@shacee That's great! Thanks so much! Wasn't sure if hand held blenders were good for this, and then I saw your video. Used to use my mom's old blender back then, but that's gone by now! I'm off to buy a blender-really want to do this once again!☺️

Do you know what I did wrong if my paper won't get off the mold, it really sticks to it? And when I get it off and put it on the cotton bed sheet, it falls right off. Thanks
