I remember watching an episode of Blue's Clues when I was a lil kid that had a segment abt papermaking with denim. Your tutorial brought back some great memories!

Awe, nostalgia! Glad it brought back good memories!

What about dryer lint??

[@amandacowin3040]

Oooh we collected lint and used that to make paper when I was a kid! It turned out really cool!

[@TextileIndie]

Great idea! I imagine that would work well.

[@TextileIndie]

Nice! Did you dip from a tub or make sheets some other way?
