Soak the paper first & then add it to water in a ratio of one cup of paper to 2-3 cups of water. If you use a blender, set it on medium-high & run it until it's the consistency of thin oatmeal....but don't add sugar & eat it yet. 

If you want to use the paper on which to paint (or write), add a tablespoon of Elmer's White Glue or gelatin dissolved in hot water or corn starch or even 2 teaspoons of starch--the liquid kind. This will make the paper less porous.

This doesn't work for US currency duplication :-(

I got a 1 lbs block of the cellulose paper material but lost the directions. What is the water to volume ratio? is it 1 cup to 1 cup? Any help...
