Step 1: To recycle paper, you need to save several pieces of scrap paper.
Step 2: Next tear or cut the scrap paper into small pieces. Put these small pieces of paper in large buckets.
You can add color to your project by tearing up brightly colored construction paper and adding it to the torn scrap paper. In our project, we added red construction paper to half of the torn scrap paper and left the other half white.

Step 4: Now add the warm water to the torn paper. Add enough water to cover the paper completely. Let it soak at least one half hour.
Step 5: Next, place about one cup of soaked paper into the blender. Add two more cups of bleach water into the blender, too. Blend this paper and water mixture on high. If it doesn't blend easily, you need to add more water to the blender.
This is how slurry is created.
Pour the slurry into another bucket and repeat this process until all of the paper has been blended.
