- papyrus: you cut papyrus reeds, slit them open, unroll the reed and separate the layers, soak the layers in water, lay out the layers flat and in alternating directions to create a sheet of the desired size, press it flat and dry it.
- paper: you take wood and/or other sources of cellulose fiber, chop it very fine, puree the chopped pieces with water to make pulp, spread the wet pulp on a very fine mesh wire screen of the desired size of sheet, dry it.
