Paper making is a very simple process and you can scrounge up everything just from things around the house. But if you want to get a little bit more in-depth with it. Or if you want to make it a bit easier and better here is a selection of supplies that I recommend.

Many of these I have bought myself.

Arnold Grummer's Bright White Cotton Linters 8 oz.

Cotton Linters are used to make rich and beautiful cotton paper.

This is the exact product that I bought and use in this tutorial. In the modern world 8 oz doesn't seem like a lot. But this goes a long way. You will probably make over a hundred sheets of paper with this bag. I have made 20 sheets from it so far and have a long way to go.

A.grummer 20/Pk Large 9.25x11.75 Couch Sheets

Couching is the process of removing wet, newly formed sheet from a papermaking screen. Couch sheets are specially designed blotters used to couch, press and dry your paper. They are specially treated to absorb water without sticking to or damaging the paper and are re-useable. (This is the exact package that Will bought and uses in this tutorial.)
