To make handmade paper with textiles and cordage wastes, start by gathering old fabrics and ropes.

Cut or tear them into small pieces and soak them in water until they become soft.

Blend or mechanically shred the soaked materials to create pulp.

Next, pour the pulp into a vat of water and mix thoroughly.

Dip a framed mesh sieve into the pulp mixture, lift it out carefully, and let excess water drain.

Transfer the wet paper sheet onto a drying surface and press gently to remove more water.

Once dry, the handmade paper is ready for use!
