Our experts recommend the following tips for best results.
- For easy clean-up, be sure to protect clothing & work surface.
- Accidents happen! Wipe up water or ink spills as soon as possible.
- Be prepared! Have water, paper towels, a small baking sheet & baking parchment paper before starting. Do not substitute wax paper for parchment paper.
- Be patient! Paper should be completely dry before removing from the screen, so it doesn’t stick to the screen. If removed too early, the paper may stick.
- The paper can air-dry, or an adult can place it into an oven to dry as stated in the instructions.
- The creative possibilities are endless! Use the finished paper sheets as stationery or fold in half to make cards. Trim edges for a cleaner look or leave “natural”.
- We recommend the following Crayola products to add your creative touch to the paper:
- Regular or Washable Crayons
- Regular, Pip-Squeaks, or Ultra-Clean Washable Markers
- Washable Paint or Watercolors*
- Glitter Glue*
- Glitter Dots*
*Allow additional time for product to dry
Looking for Refills?
- Need more paper pulp?
- Shredded, unused, plain toilet paper works best, as it has the texture most like the pulp that is included with this kit.
- Be creative! Experiment using paper pulp, paper mache, printer paper, notebook paper or paper towels. You’ll need to shred, wet, press and dry the paper. With help from an adult, try using a blender to make the wetted shreds into a finer pulp to create your own custom paper.
- Paper pulp and paper mache can be purchased at Amazon.com and craft stores.
- Not all paper is created alike! Construction Paper is too thick and not recommended.
- Ran out of ink? Usesmall amounts of Crayola Washable Kids’ Paint* until you get the color you want.
*We do not recommend using any Crayola art materials, wet or dry, near an open flame, in an oven, microwave or kiln unless indicated with specific product instructions and adult supervision, such as with the Crayola Paper Maker.
