I have made my own paper from junk mail it turned out beautiful and is great for making greeting cards or book covers etc. Hope you try it ! I didn't use any coloring aa the paper I was recycling already had color to it but I did add dried flowr blossoms and dried hrbs and spritzed them with essential oils when I used them for note cards !! The hardest part is getting the wet paper thin enough when you have it in the press.
I used to love making my own paper - it does make great stationary! I need to get a new "dedicated" blender from the goodwill though. It's strange to me to use the food blender for old junk mail!
