As a part of one of the design workshops I got to learn and explore paper making. Using food waste such as raw coconut shells, banana peels, drumstick fiber, corn peels and sugarcane husk, I tried making some samples.

This envelope is made out of cotton pulp mixed with drumstick fiber. It was engineered while transferring paper from mould to cloth and no glue is used in making this.
