Making Papyrus Paper


Continuing our studies in Ancient Civilization we learned about Papyrus. We watched some YouTube videos on the topic which we found to be very interesting. After gaining much knowledge we decided to make our own papyrus paper by using wrapping paper. It was a messy job but the boys enjoyed the process.

    1. Strips of paper dipped in a mixture of one cup of flour mixed with two cups of water. Making sure to remove all excessive glue off of the strips before weaving.
