resalikescolors: Dryer lint does work if mixed into the paper pulp, not by itself. It is more of an additive for interest. If you have dogs or cats there will be hair in the lint which is not very pleasant if you use an iron to dry the sheets.

One other note from experience, do not use the adhesive portion of paper, like envelopes and box seams, only the clean paper. The adhesives DO gum up the iron and cause the paper to pull apart when ironing.

Great article!! I love making paper! You can add seeds to the pulp, so people can plant the paper. Paper napkins that are coloured also are great to colour the pulp, and you can get a big pack from doller stores!

I used to do this as a kid with my sister all the time, I’ve been wanting to get back into it. I’ve heard you can use dryer lint. Has anyone tried this???

Hi, interesting post, I was browsing around the net for some posts about shredders. I enjoyed reading your post. I am a junior manager in a business corporation and looking around for some great shredders

the only thing is that the end result cracks real quick, it doesn’t have the “elasticity” of a normal paper. i tried this thing couple of years ago, an it looked very ok, but when i tried to bend it, it braked:(…

I know this is an old post but I just found it on StumbleUpon. I just was wondering if the water that you use to soak your scraps of paper should be left in the bin when you pour the pulp in? Does it matter how watery the pulp is?
Also, the seeds in the paper idea is so cool!
