Crafty Reuse: Paper Made from Dryer Lint

Pin It

How awesome is this! Not only does Ashley over at Instructables show you how to make dryer lint paper, she includes directions on how to make DIY paper-making supplies! There’s some good discussion going on in the comments, including what to do if you don’t own a blender and how to make colored paper instead of plain ol’ grey, so head on over to Instructables for lots more good info!

I haven’t made paper since I was in summer camp back in elementary school. If you don’t have dryer lint handy, you can still use the deckle and mold from Ashley’s tutorial to make paper from other things: junk mail, newspaper…based on this post on making paper, it sounds like pretty much any paper products that would otherwise find their way into the recycle bin would work!
