My hobby is paper making from recycled Paper.
Water, Scrap Papers, Plastic storage tub, Kitchen blender, Mould & Deckle (a screen attached to a frame), Towels, Wool blankets, cloth, Pellon, Shamwow's or other absorbent material
Take waste paper and keep it in water. Immerse the frame in the mixture (blended recycled paper+water) lift the screen out of the basin, to remove the extra water from the pulp.
After the water stops dripping (or nearly so), gently place a piece of fabric (felt or flannel, preferably) or a piece of Formica (smooth-side down) in the frame on top of the "paper". Very gently press down to squeeze out excess water. Use a sponge to press out as much water as possible from the other side of the screen, and periodically wring out the sponge.
Let it dry completely. This is how the Dried sheets of paper look...
