Paper!

Hello fellow offspring. I am blogging about Paper, and its wonderfulness. Did you know paper was first made in 100BC. Paper is made out of compressed fibers and is super thin. The fibers are usually based upon cellulose and natural products such as trees. Other than trees, cotton, linen, and hemp could be used in the paper making process. I found a 8 step process for making paper from trees: debarking, chipping, pulping, bleaching, paper machine, blade coater, supercalender, and sheet converting. That is only one way to make paper from trees. If you want to make some you could Click Here!
