SonshineLearner Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hi There, For SOTW II, I've picked for our class to make paper. I'm SOOO excited; I did this (before) with a "Woman's Club" and it was a blast. I'm wondering what the easiest way to "make screens" for the paper to dry on is. Hints?? Also, I only have a Vitamix, I think... I'm thinking about stopping by at a Goodwill to purchase a cheap blender... Ideas?? Any hints about this would be great! I'll have kids and hopefully 2 helpers :) PS, I LOVE doing the History with SOTW in a co-op situation. Lots of fun, and usually not too much prep! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily_Grace Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I bought two ugly 8x10 pictures from the thrift store and used their frames to staple the screen to. I don't have the best stapler (especially for wood!) so as a reinforcement I covered the whole frame with duct tape. It worked pretty well. We didn't use the screens to dry on, only to make the paper. Instead we turned the sheets onto felt and stacked them up so I could take them home to dry on the counter.

Pretty in Pink Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 We made screens with an old roll of window screen, some spare wooden picture frames, and a staple gun. Super easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
