Earth Day - Recycled Handmade Paper

It's Earth Day.  The 3 R are Recycle, Reduce, Reuse.

Here's an idea to reuse printed bond paper and converting it into usable handmade paper for cards.  This is a process of soaking paper, breaking down the paper in an old blender, adding interesting texture and color and making it into sheets.  Used unsoiled napkins, tissue paper, gift wrap, computer paper can be saved from the garbage can and be turned into gorgeous paper.
