Solution
Paper pulp can be used to make hard boxes and other items in the following ways:
- To begin, we can create a stencil by unfolding a small cardboard box and tracing it onto a piece of cardboard the same size as a mould. Cut the shape now.
- Place the stencil between mould and the deckle.
- To remove the pulp, raise the mould, stencil and deckle in one continuous action.
- Take the box off the stencil and set it aside to dry.
- Now, fold the box and tape it to assemble it.
- The box is ready.
