Explain one way of recycling of waste paper.

• Collect old newspapers, magazines, used notebooks, envelopes, and torn-out used papers.
  
• Make small pieces of paper from these items and put them in a bucket or any other container submerged in water for one or two days.
• Make a thick paste of wet paper by pounding it. Spread the waste paste on the wire mesh fixed to the frame. You can use a large-sized seive in place of a frame.
• Pat the layer of paste gently to make the layer paste as uniform as possible. You may spread an old cloth or a sheet of newspaper on the paste to soak up the extra water.
• Remove the layer of paste from the frame and spread it on a sheet of newspaper in the sun. Put some weight on the comer of the newspaper so that it does not curl up.
• You can decorate the paper by adding food colors, dried leaves, flower petals, or pieces of colored paper to the paste.
