Make Paper That Grows - Recycle, Renew, and Plant It In The Ground

Step 6 Pressing The Paper

When the dripping stops lay the frame on a large towel folded several layers thick. Apply a new piece of waxed paper over it and use an implement to press and smooth the paper mixture out evenly. Flip the towel over or refold to a dryer side and continue pressing as much water as possible out.

I used a tool from my kitchen for smoothing fondant and an ironing motion to complete this step.

The more you work the paper mixture the smoother it will become.
