The paper is soaked for a day and mashed.
The straw is boiled and washed.
The mashed paper and the straw are mixed with water and poured into a bath tub.
A screen is dipped into the bath tub and covered with a layer of pulp.
The screen is placed onto a cloth. After wiping up the excess water, the screen is carefully removed to leave the paper on the cloth. It is then covered with another piece of cloth and the cycle starts over.
After about 50 sheets of paper have been made, the stack is pressed to remove the water.
The sheets of paper, still stuck to the cloths, are seperated and hung up to dry.
If desired, textile colours can be added to the paper pulp.
Once dry, the paper is removed from the cloth and ironed.
Afterward, the paper is ready to be used for manufacturing.
