Making Paper

Today I went to Rittenhouse Town and I will never forget making paper because we got to keep the paper. (Missy)

Making paper was fun, easy and wet. Paper can be made from plants. The basics are the fibers. Paper can be also made from rags. (Ian)

When making this project we stirred pulp, then we dipped our mold in the pulp, then took it to our seat. We flipped it over onto a sheet. (Lizzie)

I made paper and it was fun. I took an object like a screen and dipped it in water and pulp after I had swirled the water. (Chris)

Take a sponge and turn the screen over and push the sponge on the screen and get all the water out. (Mike)

I flipped my mold onto a cloth, then got a sponge and squeezed out the water. (Tim)

Today I went to Rittenhousetown and I will never forget how we worked.

 

We made paper there by pulp and die and we made designs on them. It was fun! I hope we can go back. (Joeylyn)
