Then I crumpled them up into a ball and soaked them in a sink full of water for a half hour or so. I don’t remember the exact length of time. Then you squeeze the water out and hang the sheets to dry. Once they were dry, I ironed them to make them flatter, but they still retained a lot of the texture. They’re not sealed, and yes, I plan to use this book.Karen Stiehl Osbornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335534033256522860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20939454.post-43899390108608045242009-06-29T14:34:38.323-07:002009-06-29T14:34:38.323-07:00This is wonderful.

Tell me what you did with the paper bag to create the texture. Did you seal the paper in some way? Are you planning to use these books?
