I reused an old leather jacket to create my own book cover. So, I decided to fill it with paper I made myself too.
I tore up 2 rolls of toilet paper and threw them in a 5 gallon bucket along with a few gallons of water.
I mixed in 2 ml of peppermint essential oil (for protection) and a handful of rose buds (love), then blended this slop in a blender for about 45 seconds on high.
After leaving the bucket in the moonlight for one night, I filled the bathtub with 3" water and poured in the contents.
Next, I took a small screen I bought at the Habitat for Humanity Re-Use Store and dipped it about 1" down on the top of the water and slowly pulled it out.
A laid a towel over the entire screen, carried it outside and inverted it on the deck. I placed several subsequent sheets directly on the 1st in the same way.
The result: a stack of wet sheets of paper (picture below).
After drying, I will cut the paper into pages for my new book. This rose and peppermint- infused paper will also work great for love letters... guess I'll save some just in case. :)
