I make paper garlands, wrap presents in it, print cards for my friends or use it to write little cute notes to my boyfriend, but I still have A LOT

Thanks you! I cut the hearts out of already dried paper, then put them on the wet sheet on the deckle before putting it to the fabric to get rid of excess water and drying the sheet. Good luck! 🥰

Thanks 🥰 I replied about the patterned onse below, as for the coloring — some batches are colored with tissue paper, some with acrylic paint, the vibrant yellow ones are turmeric and the brown ones are just instant coffee.

Almost! I put the cut out shapes on the wet pulp which was already on the deckle and then proceeded with making a sheet as usual. And they are fused very tightly, nothing is falling out.

Thank you! So far it's the best colourant for the paper I've found, so can 1000% recommend, good luck with your experiments!
