How to Make Glittery Colorful Paper

Paper making is fun. It allows you to be good to the environment as well as stay creative. Actually homemade papers can be used to make greeting cards, notebook and ornamental items. But in today’s tutorial, you will not just learn how to make those papers, but also how to make them elegant enough so that they show off your hard work in your arts and crafts projects.

Things Required
Blender

Used papers (any kind)

Tissues (Patterned is better)

Medium rectangular shaped net

Plain glitters (Any color)

Water

Instructions:

1. Tear up the papers and tissues into small pieces.

2. Transfer these torn pieces to the blender along with a few pinches of glitter.

3. Pour water in them. Only half the jar of water is recommended here, for you do not want your papers and tissues to turn watery.

4. Next, blend until they have turned creamy. It is important to mention here that not all paper pieces will be mixed. Some pulps will still remain. But do not worry. Let them stay.

5. Transfer the creamy mixture to the net and spread evenly.

6. With your hand press the mixture against the net to remove excess water. As you do this make sure there is no hole in between the mixture.

7. Last, keep the net under the hot sun for the mixture to harden and turn into paper.

How to Make a Polymer Clay Heart Without Using Cookie Cutter

We have always learned that to make a heart from polymer clay, we must use a heart shaped cookie cutter. There is just no other way to create that specific shape. Unfortunately, that is completely wrong. I actually found a way to create tiny cute hearts without the use of cookie cutters. . The truth is that polymer clay is such a flexible material that it can let you make miniatures without the help of any tools at all. But for the time being, to make the heart, use the technique that I have discovered.

~Things required~

A small amount of polymer clay (color of your choice)

Flat surface

Blank paper (lay it on the flat surface)

Instructions:

Step 1. Roll your polymer clay into a ball and place it on your blank paper.

Step 2. Now roll it again with your finger to give it a thick snake shape.

Step 3. With the help of your index finger and thumb, bend one side of your polymer clay piece.

Step 4. Give it a nice squeeze to close both ends.

Step 5. Leave it on the paper surface and press the wide surface with your finger so you can make it flat.

Step 6. Then, give a slight amount of press on its both lower circular sides.Use your thumb and middle finger for better control.

Step 7. Again press the wide surface of the heart to flatten it a little.Also smooth out the edges. Do this by leaving the clay on the paper.

Step 8. There, now you have your little heart.

Do you see how it is easy to make a heart? Now remember one thing. You can make this heart either fuller or narrow. For a fuller look, simply keep flattening the heart. And for the narrowed style, just press the heart's both lower sides.
