HOW TO : Make Paper

I finally did it - made the paper leap when Rachel came over for a crafty retreat. You can find documentation of my Adventure here.*

I have big plans for the outcome, but you'll have to wait and see...

*I should warn you, before you attempt this yourself, that now I look at everything differently. I've been thinking of stealing flower petals, and I have been stealing the recycling.

Question: Bottle Cap Crafts

I've been collecting bottle caps for a few years now, but I have yet to determine what I want to do with them. Has anyone done/seen any cool crafts with bottle caps?

RESOURCE : Filing Small Business Taxes

It's that gross time of year- time to file your business taxes.

I came across these videos on how to file in Washington.

What do the rest of you use?

QUESTION : Binding a Skinny Book

I had a bright idea that involves binding (saddle stitch) a small number of pages together. (Probably 4 text sheets and a cardstock cover sheet.)

Has anyone had any luck using a sewing machine, stapler, or any other tool? Suggestions?

QUESTION : Paper Making

I have never gotten a chance to make paper, and it's something I've always wanted to try. It seems like the perfect way to recycle paper (which is a small obsession of mine) into something I can use again.

Have you seen any good tutorials, or ideas? Did you have any successful or unsuccessful attempts yourself? Any good memories? Any tips?
