Paper is made from trees. Workers take the trees and cut them downand put them into a machine where the bark is removed and thatallows the wood to be turned into small woodchips where they aremixed with water and turned into a paste. From there more materialsand chempicals are added to make the paper stronger. The paste isthen flattened out and dries out. The factory then proceeds to cutthe long piece of paper into smaller pieces for everyone to use. To make paper, mix up vegetable fibers, and cook them in hot wateruntil the fibers are soft but not dissolved. Add a base chemicalsuch as lye to the hot water, as this softens the fibers as theyare cooking. Then, pass a screen-like material through the mixture,let the water drip off and/or evaporate, and then squeeze or blotout additional water. A layer of paper is left behind. Essential tothe process are the fibers, which are never totally destroyed, and,when mixed and softened, form an interlaced pattern within thepaper itself. If you were to make traditional Asian paper back then, then followthe rules below: 1.Combine water, felt, and old clothes together (two gallons ofwater). 2. Mix thoroughly. 3. (optional) Put bleach in. 4. Let stand for a while ( the longer the better; usually one day). 5. Take some of the mixture, and put it in a blender. 6. Blend for about 5- 10 min. 7. Lay flat down. 8. Let it dry and you're done.
