soak the lint at least 30 minutes, or overnight. Then use a blender, 1 cup of the soaked lint mixture at a time, fill the rest of the blender with water. Use a screen stapled to a wooden frame (or cardboard covered with duct tape) to dip into a tub filled with the blended "slurry." Turn the lint onto a piece of cloth and weigh down to keep paper flat. wait until its dry! try adding fabric dye or bleach to get a white or colored paper.

Just lint and water, really? Does it stay together, or would it be a good idea to add some glue to the water?
