   You can do it at home.

   I have seen some art studios that have home made paper art for sale at a fairly high price.

   Good Luck

   When I was in Thailand for a vacation I saw them using all sorts of stuff to make homemade paper. They shredded it finely and soaked it in water. Then they spread it out on a screen and squeezed the water out of it. They left it to dry, then peeled it off. Add a little food coloring to the water if you want a specific color of paper.

   It is not smooth like the paper you get from the store for your photocopier or printer, but it is tectured like high-dollar stationery.

   I’ve not tried it on my own.

   Good luck.
