Half of the left hand page has been left blank for the text and any other images.
The grey areas are where the pop-up element will go. No extra stuff there except for printing on the actual pop-ups.

The first page that has content will contain the materials list:

- Scrap paper
- Photo-frame and net, for making the sieve
- Blender
- Cloth/towel
- Large bowl/tray

There are 5 steps to the 'making your own paper' guide.
Each step will be covered in one double page spread (A5 pages).
There is a pop-up symbol and a short piece of text explaining what needs to be done on each page.
The text will take up half of the left page on each spread.

The text is:

1.   TEAR UP SOME SCRAP PAPER INTO SMALL PIECES.

2.   PLACE TORN PAPER INTO A BLENDER, ADD WATER AND MIX.

3.   POUR THE DISSOLVED PAPER ONTO A SIEVE* AND USE YOUR HANDS/SPONGE TO PRESS THE PULP FLAT.

(There will be a footnote at the bottom of this page in smaller point type explaining how to make the sieve)
* TO MAKE YOUR SIEVE, PLACE A NET OVER A PHOTO FRAME, AND FIX DOWN, MAKING SURE ALL EDGES ARE SEALED SO THE PULP DOES NOT BLEED OUT.

4.   COVER THE FRAME WITH A CLOTH, PRESS DOWN INTO ALL EDGES AND CORNERS, THEN TURN THE FRAME OVER.

5.   LEAVE TO DRY, AND PEEL OFF YOUR NEW PAPER.

Photos of the pages we have made today will be posted later!

Wednesday: Making Our Own Paper

Materials and tools we are using:
- Tissue paper, for making the pulp
- Photo-frame and net, for making the sieve
- Large bowl/bucket/tray
- Sponge/paint roller
- Blender
- Cloth/towel

Steps:
1. Cut up strips of paper (tissue/newspaper), which will be used to make the pulp.
2. Place paper in a blender and add water. Blend the paper until it is dissolved in the water.
3. Empty the dissolved paper/pulp into a bucket or tray, and immerse your handmade sieve* into the water. Use your fingers to press the pulp down on the net, within the water.
4. Lift the screen out of the water. Use a sponge or paint roller to press the pulp and expel any excess water. Make sure the pulp is evenly spread.
5. Press a cloth down onto the frame, press down into all the corners. Turn the frame over and use your fingernails to scratch the net. This will expel the pulp onto the cloth.
6. Let it dry fully, then carefully peel your new paper off the cloth.

____
* To make the handmade sieve, you need a wooden or other solid photo frame, and a net that lets water through. Place the net over the frame and fix down, making sure that the edges are sealed, so the pulp does not bleed out.
