Studio Vlog 09 : How I make my Handmade Paper
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 08. 2020
- I know you have been waiting for this video for quite some time. It is honestly so hard to film it as well as concentrate on what I was doing while being extra careful not to damage my filming equipment because of the messy process. So, I didn’t do a perfect batch of papers but that’s the truth about handmade paper, they will never always be perfect but you learn from each experience and get better at it. The key to making it or anything is really just practice and learning. I will have some resources and links below for you all. I hope you enjoy and just want to thank those who are offering to answer questions in the comments, it really is helpful and useful to others and we can all learn from each other. I think this is the last of the highly requested videos, if you have any other videos you want me to film, do let me know. Take care my friends and see you guys soon 🤎

* C-Clamps from the hardware store (ACE)
* Blender: Get a blender that can handle blending more solid material/ ice crushing option sold me 😂 but the first one I was using was terrible and would constantly stop mid way.

I love writing on handmade papers...it has a character of his own.
Isn't it? I love the texture and feel of them and they look so decorative even if they are just plain white 😍
@@SoftlyStudio Does the ink soak in these kinds of paper? Since they are so textured?
@@btsarmyforever3816 No because I applied sizing to avoid ink bleeding. But I don't make them textured anymore. The papers I now make are quite smooth.
@@SoftlyStudio Ohh I see! ^^
@@SoftlyStudio can you tell me what kind od sizing it is?😊
Now I know why these "recycled" papers are so expensive. They use a lot of resources to turn fancy paper into fancier paper. As always, reuse is always better and come first before recycle.
true!! the order is always refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle. recycling is always the last resort and is used when u cannot find other ways conserve
Reused paper are expensive? ...it is much less expensive then the non reused one in our place
It's recycled cotton rag so technically recycled but it's not the "recycling" you had in mind. Like reused paper. These are processed fibers from renewable fibers which are quite sustainable. I do not use trees to make paper or materials that are nonrenewable. And the papers are not why they are expensive. Yes, raw materials and supplies affect the cost but most handmade papermakers charge for the actual process to make them as it takes so much time and you make way less than machine-made papers. 😊
this isn't the normal way of doing it, you could finish it all in one day in less than an hour
@Mc Kyle Dodongo grl chill
so u tear paper down to make paper???? I am genuinely confused
Mariana Flores exactlyy same.. even I’m confused! nd I feel dumb too
Yes, its kind of like reusing old paper. Or thats how I do it. I take paper from my recycling bin and use it to make new paper
@@rachiehahaha wow, thats great
I do that for recycled paper. But this is pulp/fiber compressed into sheets and not finished paper. A lot of pulps you buy commercially come in this form for easier processing. Or you can find them in dry plant/bark form but you will be required to cook them so buying them this way saves you a little more time.
Softly Studio ohhh okayy... thank you soo much ..I get what it is now..thank you
this video has so warm aesthetic vibes, like spending an autumn evening indoors with a warm coffee mug, while the fire crackles in the grate. loved it. I also admire your neat and tidy way of working, how you take care not to waste anything
Imagine being in a World War 3 alive and then you need paper to write your feelings in the diary.....
WWIII? Just when I thought 2020 couldn’t get any worse...
@@spacepeonies LOL
@@spacepeonies ww3 is 2020😨...who could disagree
Imagine being in a pandemic
Oh wait...
What is sizing? Wait let me google it. Edit: ahhh so it’s the thing that gives paper its ink retaining quality. Like the it makes the difference between water color and regular paper. Makes sense
Yes! It's actually for any ink to be accepted. Otherwise ink will bleed. So even regular paper needs sizing to be able to write on it, not just watercolor paper.
Softly Studio do you need to add it for recycled paper as well? I mean won’t the paper before being recycled already have it in in them? (Sorry if I sound dumb I’m new to this an English is not my first language 😅)
@@ButILikeYouAndThatIsNotFake was wondering the exact same thing lmao
ty lol
@@ButILikeYouAndThatIsNotFake is wondering the same exact thing too here.. I think it probably should work just fine yes
my special person and I were watching this last night and you need to know that he is not into this journaling world, he only watch my videos because he wants to support me haha but he was mesmerized by your video, he honestly loved it! thank you for another beautiful journey
Oh Ana thank you and your special person for watching 😭 Truly made my day and please tell him that he is so lucky to have you. Hope you have a lovely day my dear ❤️❤️❤️
@@SoftlyStudio ❤❤❤❤❤❤ x1000
Good quality paper, especially for the watercolor painting!
Recycling paper and giving it a new life - amazing.
Exemplary great & hard work.
she didn't recycle paper in this video tho
@@digitalis_ Well just because they look new doesn't mean they are. These particular rags have been created from unused fabric in the garment industry 😊 and Cotton is a renewable resource and quite sustainable as well.
@@SoftlyStudio you consumed recycled paper to make a product. that's not recycling in the true spirit of the word
I don't even know you, but can see your beautiful spirit, thank you for sharing your calmness and wonderful talents with us. Be blessed sis!
Aww that’s honestly so flattering and my heart is filled with gratitude. Thank you so much for being here 🙏🏽♥️
@@SoftlyStudio You're welcome and my pleasure!
So craetive
Just watching in case I ever die and get reborn into a world without books ;p
;0
Me too !
hahaha watching Ascendance of a Bookworm is what made me interested in paper making
I too am it, laughed cause I finally get it
There’s an anime I like about that happening
The great thing is also you can do this with even recycled newspaper or egg cartons.
yes, so many options 😍
Just think you're sitting at the roof top, slightly windy, cosy with buckets ,clips deckle ,papers and other supplies, birds singing, a pleasant silence and you making papers with a satisfying smile on your face🌿🌿🌹🌹🌻🌻💐🏞️⛅😍☺️
now this is a FLEX
WOW,...what a WONDERFULLY MADE VIDEO! I could watch it all day. Its great for just before going to sleep.
Your work is meticulous. I've been wanting to learn paper making. You are very inspiring!
Now, I REALLY want to do it.
Thank you very much for sharing your process with us.

Your aesthetic is so nice and consistent, i wish i wasn't an overall mess
I've been waiting for this video for so long!! After I watched your first paper making video I really wanted to try it for myself, but you're the only channel that makes pretty paper at the end of it. I'm so happy!!! Thank you!! I love you videos ❤️❤️
It would be so wonderful if you couls talk about how you think differently from what you have learned! Thanks for transparency of your paper journey. Many of us are also on a paper journey. Mine is different than yours but the passion is very similar.
Oh that's an interesting question. I don't really know if I do think differently. I learned a lot yes, but not so sure if I'm understanding the question too much 🙈 I wish you a wonderful and successful paper journey Carol ❤️ I like the sound of that, paper journey 😊
honestly this is so calming i really like your dedication for your shop and literally anything,, love you sm!
This is SERIOUSLY PROFESSIONAL. Wonderful!
You are a Genius!
Loved watching this video. Have you ever tried adding flowers and petals to your paper?
Yes but only like twice and they bled a little because i don’t know that you had to boil them a little 🙈 definitely want to give it a go again though 😊
@@SoftlyStudio why do you have to boil them for?
@@melaniepringle5532 probably to make sure you get some of the colour out as some petals and flowers have a kind of tint in them that can bleed once they get wet
@@skyebethencourt4054 Yes, like violets
Ive lost count of how many times I watched this! I am obsessed with your videos and how much love you put into making paper and your journals! I admire the passion and the drive here. Happy subscriber over here!!
I could watch you craft all day
This literally the most aesthetic vlog I have seen so far
i watched a ton of videos about hot to recycle paper and this one is the best
you explained very well how to make the paper and the duckle
i also really love how you told us that we can mess sometimes and that's okay, i think it's very encouraging!
thank you very much!!
Stunning! Amazing to see how much goes into making it, and I get so much pleasure in using your paper too - thank you 💞
Thank you for this video, as others have said... very calming. What I appreciate as well, is no music; too many videos are ruined because of hyped up tunes.
Thank you so much. I can see why you may feel like that. For me music helps me edit and inspires me to make the cuts as I go by the beat. but I also find it kind of depends when I use them and when I don't. If I want to get lost with the video, then music takes me there but if certain activities already has interesting sounds, like paper making, I think the music is not necessary. It is also hard to choose the right songs with CZcams since you can get copyrighted. but yea I love both I guess 🙈
@@SoftlyStudio I LOVE the music you choose. It's sooo soothing, and beautiful, and perfect for your style of what you do.!
Hello, congratulations on your channel. One question, what is sizing for and what is it? Thank you
Your videos are soo soothing, i love having them in the background while i work
The water pouring part's is so relaxing .
Oh one of my fav sounds. I have a new one coming soon 😊
This shows the difference between a craft and an art. Beautiful paper!!
This was lovely. Makes me feel nostalgic
What a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your process. One day I’ll try this!
So calming to watch! I really love your channel...
I really enjoyed this. It made my day, so relaxing and calming. Thank you!💞
Just wanted to say in general that I love your videos. They are beautyful and so calming. Thank you.
I love to watch process videos and this was so beautifully documented
I've watched and re-watched this a couple of times and it's so fascinating yet therapeutic to watch how you make these lovely papers.💕 Thank you for making such a beautiful and informative content.♥️ Have the loveliest day my dear Shereena. 🤗💕💗
Maine is PROUD of you
Thank you so much ❤️
these videos calm me down i love when people make their stuff themselves.
Thank you so much! I enjoy it too ❤️
Absolutely Love the style!!
this was so relaxing to watch I struggle with finding motivation to put my phone down and sleep but I alomst fell asleep to this its very soothing and I love how it helps the environment and saves the trees💓💓 keep it up
Lovely video thank you, I love petals and cotton strands in homemade paper x much love from the UK xx
Wing nuts on the paper press can ease the tightening and loosening.
Yes but I like to use a wrench to tighten more than my arm strength can 🙈 and it’s just easier for me to use bolts with it than wing nuts 😊
i just can't get over how relaxing this video is
Thank you so much ❤️
Ur video is so satisfying, the colours, the calm way in which you do those are just woww
I’m so happy you posted I love this watching the process was so nice!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed watching it ❤️
Loved this video! I have experimented with paper making but haven't made my own paper in ages. I eventually started using a stainless steel immersion blender. It makes blending the paper a lot less tedious! Happy creating!
Oh I know how tedious it can be. I am currently working on getting a proper hollander beater. 😊
So satisfying, relaxing and helpful this video is!!!!!😌😌😍✋🏽👍🏽
That was the most pleasant video I have seen in a very long time. Nice.
We know this is going to be calming and aesthetically pleasing. :) Loved the video
That's the sweetest! Thank you so much ❤️
So i have alot of school books and journals i dont want to trow them so im looking on how to recycle them
Throw* a lot*
That's really long and complicated process 👍👍 I didn't know this is why the handmade sheets are expensive, Recycling is great
I appreciate your level of patience👏👏👏🙀
too much hardwork.appreciate it
the progress is so satisfying. the effort you put in to make them...it's so touching. love you so much. ❤️
This is so calming
That was so cool and pleasant to watch and some how calming ❣️
I love paper making even though I have never tried but always wanted to.. I have always wondered I would tend to waste so much of water if I start to do it. Using cheesecloth to strain the water so that you could reuse it! Kudos girl!!!! ♥️♥️
You do need to use a lot of water but this water can be reused by straining the leftover pulp. As long as you're doing the same color batches it is fine.
I am impressed. You definitely have my attention! 5 Stars, indeed. And I assure you I am not confused! Semper Fi, a Combat Marine
It's so satisfying to watch 🥰🥰
Thank you for this video, I loved it in different levels
Your papers look so well made. 🙉 Thank you for sharing the process
high high quality video, thank you so much for posting this
Thank you to share your experience. You're really an artisan. As I've read in another comment, your videos make me dream of doing the same in the future. Inspiring images!
You're the sweetest. From my experience, dreams can come true so I hope that it will for you too. Stay hopeful and don't put off things you really want to do ❤️
I might do this when I grow up... it just looks pleasing
I just saw the notification but I know it’s going to be aesthetically pleasing
