You read it right, you can make your own paper at home from newspapers, old books, bills, prints and scrap paper. In this interactive and do-it-along session, our Knowledge Contributors — the Hands and Heart team will help you recycle unwanted paper you have at home into fresh, beautifully crafted handmade paper. At the end of the session, you will have learned to make paper which you can use to write on, to wrap gifts, to sketch on, for origami and the like. You can even gift your own Handmade paper with a personalized note to your Valentine!
