300 times paper! The wide-ranging collection of recipes conveys ideas for paper made from various materials such as cotton or manila fibers, waste paper or pure plant fibers. Further creative possibilities open up through the choice of colours, the surface structure, the additives and details or the mixture of pulp types. Saffron and basil, tea and coffee or flowers enrich the self-made paper with colors and scents, raffia and metallic glitter set special accents, and individual structures can be created by pouring the paper pulp onto a wide variety of materials and objects such as corrugated cardboard or textiles. There are ideas for every occasion, be it a romantic love letter with embedded rose petals, a colorful, eye-catching flyer or an invitation to a garden party, which can be made with grass, moss or flowers. In addition to the 300 recipe suggestions, the authors also describe the basic techniques of papermaking and the materials required - all of which are readily available or already available in most households. From these basics, the recipes can be easily reworked or your own types of paper developed, there are no limits to experimentation and imagination. «An inspiring selection that you can vary in many ways and supplement with your own ideas. The different techniques and the respective results are described in detail and illustrated. Whether stationery, invitation cards or bound to form a diary -- this is how beautiful unique pieces are created that are guaranteed to be a hit as a gift.» (Lisa. Living & Decorating) «Surprisingly simple and extremely original.» (Berliner Morgenpost) "An attractive and very informative book about paper making at a moderate price."
