Transform junk mail, newspapers, comic books, wrapping paper, food can labels, and old phone books into beautiful handmade paper in just minutes! Trash-to-Treasure Papermaking, the ultimate guide for crafty recyclers, is every family’s answer to the problem of too much paper waste. With just a blender, paper scraps, and water, people of all ages will discover the fun of whipping up sheets of unique handmade paper in a variety of shapes, colors, textures, and sizes. From cards, invitations, and little bound books to paper bowls, wreaths, and ornaments, this book features dozens of creative projects for using the newly made paper. Author and master papermaker Arnold Grummer has devoted his 30-year career to developing the simplest method for making recycled paper. It is accessible even for preschoolers but fun and inventive enough to challenge crafters of any age. Trash-to-Treasure Papermaking features Arnold’s innovative techniques, shown in step-by-step color photographs. A simple mold can be made from tin cans, milk jugs, or juice cartons; built from wood scraps; or purchased inexpensively. Add an old blender and start exploring the infinite possibilities of recycled paper. Before-and-after photos show the magical transformation of each type of waste paper into its own distinctive sheet of new paper. Grummer provides examples of all kinds of special effects created by embedding fabric, ribbon, or other scraps; painting with pulp; layering pulp colors; using cookie cutters as molds; texturing the paper surface; molding the pulp around circular objects; and much more. Trash-to-Treasure Papermaking is brimming over with fun ideas for how to reduce household waste and transform it into beautiful, useful items. Cheap, easy, and full of creative possibilities, this book is sure to be embraced by families, teachers, and young, eco-conscious DIYers.The Author:Arnold E.

papermaking
THE NAME ARNOLD GRUMMER is virtually synonymous with papermak-ing. Formerly on the faculty of the Institute of Paper Chemistry, Grummer has taught the magic of papermaking to such likely students as preschoolers, printers, and artists, but also to fo-rensic scientists, corporate executives, and others. He lectures around the United States and Canada
and has made numerous television appearances.
the ultimate green craftRecycle and Reuse!
Junk mail, food labels, newspapers, catalogs,
magazines . . . Trash-to-Treasure Papermaking
shows crafters just how fun and easy it is to turn
that household pile into intriguing new papers.
They’ll even learn how to incorporate extra bits
of fabric, thread, and ribbon from the sewing
basket. Or leaves and grass clippings that were
bound for the compost pile. The needed equip-
ment, too, can be found in the recycling bin or
around the house. And then there are the 40-
plus projects that showcase handcrafted paper—
Christmas ornaments, coasters, mobiles, animals,
garlands, gift wrap, books, lampshades, and
more. All of which can someday be recycled into
new projects. Recycle, reuse, recycle, reuse . . .
