Bamboo Paper Shreds 500g

Bamboo Paper Shred is an easier and more convenient method to make your own paper. Use to make paper ornaments, keepsakes and seeded paper or seed paper bombs that grow when planted!

To make, simply soak the Bamboo Paper Shred in hot water until the fibres break down (or are a soup-like consistency). Then spoon the pulp onto a flat absorbent surface (e.g. towel), spread pulp out evenly ensuring there are no gaps, then press down firmly to squeeze out the excess water. Allow to dry! PVA can be added to the pulp to add strength. N.B. detailed instructions are included in the pack.

If making seed bombs, add seeds to the soup-like pulp, then shape into a tight ball, whilst squeezing out the excess water. Once formed leave to dry. Wrap a few balls in a paper bag to use as a gift.

Wet pulp can be coloured with artificial (food dye = vibrant colour) or natural dyes (subtle colours).

Once the Bamboo Paper Shred has dried and is now paper, it can be decorated.

Idea: use the shred raw material as a creative collage material!
