In this part of the tutorial we finish the making of the paper! That was pretty easy wasn't it!

Part 1 of this tutorial is here

Place it on an absorbent surface like felt or paper towels. And gently lift the screen off the paper, leaving it on the paper towel.

Cover it with some kind of absorbent material. It can be felt or paper towels.

Continue to pad the paper dry. Replace the paper towels if needed. At this point you just want to get most of the water out of it.

Now I put the paper between two sheets of felt. Use felt if you have it. Otherwise a couple of layers of paper towel is quite ok.

Place some books on it and press down very firmly. Then go ahead and place more books/weights on it. And let it set overnight to dry.

That's it! Once your paper is dry it is done! Congratulations!!!

Make a Wax seal stamper:

Yes, make your very own wax stamper with a coat of arms, family crest or just your initials. I made a gauntlet holding a sword. Fun little medieval project. We don't write letters much but if you do send a correspondence it would be fun to officially wax seal it like this! Make a wax seal stamper.
