Ten years ago, when I decided to teach myself paper making, molds and deckles weren’t readily available. Instead of ordering a set from a specialty craft shop, and waiting two weeks for it’s arrival, I made my own. What I found out was, not only was I able to make my handcrafted set exactly to my dimensions, it was also a lot of fun to do.
Here are some links to directions for creating some of my favorite crafting accessories. I haven’t created everything on this list, but I would eventually like to. I consider it a goal list.
