  I used to make paper with a deckle. I loved doing it. It was thin enough to actually run through a printer for my poems. One time, right after Christmas, I stripped my Christmas tree of its needles and cooked them down in lye. It made very interesting black fibers in the paper. It was a bit labor intensive so I wouldn’t do it again. ❤

  That piece of blended yarn paper brought me back to grade school memories of that pink powder and sawdust stuff that the janitor would put down over vomit. Lol. Sorry, it&apos;s still a cool idea. 💕

  Suggestion for the baloney yarn paper: Find someone who does food photography, the ones who make fake food look real. That paper would work pretty well as sandwich filling. Great video, great techniques!!

  This idea would probably be great for pom pom makers with a lot of leftover yarn shavings!

  As someone whose whole family loves joke gifts, that bologna paper is amazing! Thanks for showing us both results.

  You could put it in a dehydrator to completely dry it.

  The &apos;bologna&apos; looks good when cut into tag size.

  Love this idea. &nbsp;I have enough scraps to make a whole box of stationary. 😁 Just a tip, You can also throw your scraps In a plastic bag then grab your long scissors and do what I call a &quot;jab chop.&quot; Go to town just chopping away. &nbsp;After a bit you wind up with some great fluff and relieved some stress at the same time. 😂
