3. Fill the vat with water. You'll need 90 percent water and 10 percent pulp. Add the pulp to the water in the vat.

4. Wet the paper mold. Place the deckle on top of the mold. Dip the mold and deckle into the vat, scooping the pulp onto the screen of the mold. Lift up the mold and shake it from side-to-side to interlock the fibers so that they bond together. The water will drain through the screen and the pulp will settle on top.

5. Remove the deckle from the mold and tilt the mold to drain the water.
