Paper press for DIY Christmas heart, press mold.
Make some paper pulp by tearing paper (we used old homework at school - kids loved it!)
- Put paper + water in a bucket
- it doesn't need to be blended, but a mixer will do a nice job. (Use hot water in the mix)
- Set the mold as in pictures (make a bowl with the flat heart and sides).
- Pour "papermix" into the mold, let the water drain, add more paper (experiment, with the volume…)
- Press the mold “pushpiece” with hands, down in the ‘bowl’. … slowly at this stage (it might squirt a lot now…)
- Use a quickGrip or clamp (don't use excessive force.. 60kg is plenty).
- Right after, remove the tool, remove the side piece (might need to tap on the pushpiece..)
- Remove the paperheart and let it dry.
- Paint, use an awl to make a hole for a string, set it up for christmas
-Enjoy!
