How to Roll and Dry Recycled Paper Art

On behalf of tvlesson.com my name is Sherie Tengbergen. I’m a professional artist with
the watercolorgourmet.com. In this clip on recycle paper art I’m going to show you how
to spread your paper and roll it out so that it’s nice and thin and ready to dry.

Now I’ve already pretty match patted down and gotten rid of quite a bit of the water for
my paper and I’m going to just kind like form it into a little bit of a shape here and then
I’m going to take Saran wrap or clear plastic wrap and I’m going to lay it on top of my
hand made paper and underneath I have a sheet of parchment paper.

Now I take my rolling pin now and I'm going to start really easily rolling this paper and I
like to go in both directions so I kind a bit nice even piece of paper and I'm kind move the
Saran wrap a little bit or the clear plastic wrap as I am rolling out my paper. Now in order
to help with the drying process once I have my paper rolled out, I take a paper towel and I
lay it on top like this and I use that to help me roll it even thinner.

I don’t use any glue to make my paper, I find it I really don’t need it. So that’s really a
nice way to get a nice thin piece of paper. If you particular size of paper you can put
wooden sticks on either side so that you get the same size, height. Now if you see that
your paper is come apart on the edges, you can just push it in with your fingers and roll it
again.

And what I do with this paper towel is I open up my blender and I throw it in and I use it
for my next batch of paper. And that’s how we make the paper nice and thin and now I
will leave it dry. On behalf of tvlesson.com this is Sherie Tengbergen and thank you for
