DIY Handmade Paper

source: kissthegroom

Having moved to a new home, I find myself wondering where and how I could create more space for myself to keep my growing pile of books, magazines and documents.  Yesterday I decided that I should let go of the magazines that I have been collecting for years, some even as far as 2006. The last time I cleared my magazines they were even older. My dream to collect magazines from the day there were first published e.g Seventeen Magazine or Cosmopolitan will have to be abandoned due to space. Still I feel the pain of letting them go to the bin. Is there a better way to recycle magazines?

While googling for an answer, I found this beautiful blog site teaching how we can diy handmade paper. You can even make your own lavender or grass paper using... yes LAVENDER! or grass.
