How to make papyrus
Long before paper came into existence, the Egyptians devised a way to create a sort of early version of paper called papyrus. In fact, our word for paper actually comes from papyrus.

Although paper can be easily bought, making papyrus is a useful skill, and it feels great to create your own paper. To make papyrus, prepare the plant, make the papyrus, and finish up the process properly for the nicest result possible
