To produce handmade "deep" (thick or textured) paper from plant fibers, you must first extract cellulose by boiling plant material in an alkaline solution and then beat it into a pulp that can be layered. 1. Harvest & Prepare Fibers : Fill a large basin with water and stir in your pulp

: A good rule of thumb is to bend a leaf; if it bends without snapping, it likely has enough fiber for paper. 2. The Cooking Process (Breaking Down Lignin)

: Thoroughly wash the cooked fibers in cold water until the water runs clear. 3. Creating the Pulp
