Paper Making // Guest Post

Rachel is a super sweet gal that I met at Collage, she's a regular there and takes lots of classes.  Once we discovered we had blogging in common, we became instant friends. Rachel's blog is awesome, it's called 52 Weeks Project. Each week, she features a craft that she has made. I love how simple and attainable that is. Plus, her photography is outstanding. Check out her blog and prepare to be inspired!

The best thing about making your own paper is that you can recycle any type of existing paper that may be considered useless like labels, magazines, news paper, wrapping paper, etc. You can even add natural elements like leaves, grass, and flowers. Not only is it relatively easy to do, but aesthetically it has a unique thickness and texture that is hard to find in store bought paper. 

My boyfriend Gabe actually bought me a paper making kit for Christmas last year. He's been my biggest support during this project! I do know you could snag the complete kit off Amazon or Arnold's website.
