　　Today, paper-making is a big business. But it is still possible to make paper by hand since the steps are the same as using big machines.

　　You should use paper with small amounts of printing. Old envelopes are good for this reason. Colored paper also can be used, as well as small amounts of newspaper. Small pieces of rags or cloth can be added. These should be cut into pieces about five centimeters by five centimeters.
