Step 1: Rip 1 sheet of paper into pieces about 2" square. (Shape isn't important, just basic size.)

Step 2: Put pieces of paper into the blender.

Step 3: Add 1 L of hot water.

Step 4: Blend about 3 minutes to make pulp.

Step 5: Put paper screen and mold into large container. Fill with water until the water level is 1" over the screen. (OK, this is the part that I cheated on. My husband took a summer seminar at NC State's Pulp and Paper Science Department and they gave him all the supplies for making paper in the classroom including this nice little screen apparatus.)

Step 6: Pour pulp into mold over screen.

Step 7: Remove mold from water, letting as much water drain as possible.

Step 8: Remove top from mold

Step 8: Blot paper with blotting paper or paper towels.

Step 9: Carefully remove your paper from the screen by slowly peeling back the blotting paper.

Step 10: Make a "sandwich" with 2 layers of blotting paper under your new paper and 3 pieces of blotting paper on top. Iron on highest heat setting for 3 minutes.

Step 11: Carefully peel your new paper off the blotting paper.

We also made a sheet using blue construction paper.
