Here’s a step-by-step guide that I put together. It shows exactly how to recycle old paper and make it your own! This is one of the cards that I recently made for the holidays. Once you can make your own paper, it can really be turned into anything- sketchbooks, journals, cards, stationery, gift tags, etc. Perhaps you’d like to make a homemade Valentine!
Take a look.
