It is mixed for about two hours with some common chemicals and then allowed to cool. Then it is left until most of the water dries up. The substance left, called pulp, can be stored until you are ready to make paper.
将所有材料放入容器中，加水煮至沸腾。将一些普通化学物质与其混合大约两小时后待其冷却。待大部分水干燥后剩下的物质就被称为纸浆。纸浆可以保存起来以备造纸时使用。
When you are ready, the pulp is mixed with water again. Then the pulp is poured into a mold. The mold is made of small squares of wire that hold the shape and thickness of the paper. To help dry the paper, the mold lets the water flow through the small wire squares.
当你准备好造纸时，将纸浆与水再次混合。随后将纸浆倒入模具中。该模具由铜丝网组成，可以控制纸张的形状和厚度。水可以从模具的铜丝网中渗出以使纸张干燥。
