Time to Experiment!
-
First-take paper that is already shredded (or if you don’t have any ask your child(ren) to shred up a bunch of (preferably) scrap paper.
-
Next-place the shredded paper into a bowl and pour water over top. Until it is just covered. Let it soak overnight for best results.
-
Once the paper is done soaking, squeeze the excess water out of it and place the paper into a blender. Blend it into a nice mush!
-
Bend the wire hanger into a rectangular shape and tape it to close. Pull the stocking over top. (Only use ones you no longer want)!

Place your “frame” onto a cookie sheet.

Smash your paper mush onto your frame (removing even more water). Let it dry overnight and then reuse it!
