I really wanted to do this project but I didn't have any cornstarch so I used cornmeal instead. Don't judge me yet! I didn't know what the difference was between them so I thought the same thing would happen. So I did everything the directions said to do except I used cornmeal. so after waiting overnight the result was this: it sort of worked. the paper was stuck together except the color from the newspaper wasnt gone. but it is hardened and it worked pretty good.

First what you can do is get a cereal box. Then you put the pulp that you just made with the cornstarch, scraps of newspaper and hot water on the cereal box it and spread it all around the, cereal box then let it dry for a few hours then put it in the refridgeratoir to cool then leave it for 3 hours in the refrideratoir and then after the 3 hours you get it out and you can decorate it with streamers, connfetti, or glitter you can make it into a card or you can make it for a specil occaions like someones birthday party, you can give it to. Now thers your specil paper you made!!!

I decorated the paper with glitter. It was very pretty. Eventually the paper cracked. The foil was not good enough so I used my hand to squeeze out the water. I had fun making the paper project.

it took a LONG time to dry. It also crcked, and then easly boke. I have an easier way. Take sheets of news paper, soak in water, and tear into peaces. Squees alitle water out, lye out on plate, Squees all water out. wait for 3 days(or maby 2) to dry. When you lye it on the plate, lye FLAT on plate. May stain plate. will not stain hands AT ALL. Questions? Comments?

I am student teacher and I tryed this but it takes about two days for the paper to turn into oatmeal, but this project really works. Even though the cornstarch makes the paper feel like the paper might break in half, but overall this is a good project and yes I will be doing it again.

Thank you ZOOM! I am adjusting the different types of paper (cardboard, newspaper, etc.) recycled for my science fair project! I only have a few peices of paper so far, and they look great. Thanks for this GREAT idea!

I found that it takes a very long tie to dry but it is very fun. Me and my frineds do it all the time. We actually use pancake mix instead of corn startch. That is probally one of the reasons it takes a really long time to dry. Well if you haven't tried this. you should this is a really fun project for everyone. Kids, family, friends. Well hope you will try it!
