Make Your Paper Colorful!
If you make your own paper or are just learning how, you can apply color to make your paper even more colorful. Once you have learned the basic technique of making paper you should know that by adding powdered paint or liquid paint to your pulp you can make different colored paper. You can even use tea or coffee as a way to add color to your pulp before you make your paper into sheets.
