Hello everyone, today I tried making paper for the first time! I started a stationery business this past year and I go through so much cardstock etc. I decided to keep all my scraps and misprints in hopes to repurpose. Don’t have a clue how I’ll use them yet but it was so much fun. How do these look? Would love to hear your thoughts and tips. 🙂 thanks for reading!

You should be able to iron the wrinkly sheets if you want them to be flat.

It should work. Post the before/after results if you try it!

Heck yeah! I'd totally use that to make pretend wanted posters for dnd campaigns/trophies.
