Homemade Paper

Step 3Blend the water and material.

Blend the water and material.
Place the blending pitcher on the base and turn the blender on.

I use 2-3 different settings just to make sure the material breaks down well. Depending on how much material and water you have put together, starting out with a "chop" setting or "puree" might be best. Then use the "liquify" setting for about 30 seconds to finish the job.

The material and water mix should have the consistency of a thick soup.

I use a stick mixer at this stage. This works well when your soaked paper is in a bucket or larger container and you don't want to do the pulping in small batches.
