First we would like to remind you of what we found out during our tests.

Test 2 ballpoint pen  felt pen mechanical pencil
factory paper The writing is visible, but it's hard to write on because the paper is thin. It was easy to write and and easy to see, and the felt didn't bleed through the paper. It was easy to write and see because the paper smooth.
homemade paper It was not very visible, and the paper ripped when we wrote which made it hard.  It was easy to write because the paper was a little soft and showed up well it was blue on gray. It was hard to write because the lead broke often and easily. It was also hard to see because the writing was the same color as the paper.

So putting the results of both tests together it turns out that the store bought paper is both more durable and better for writing uses. But don't let these facts stop you from making your own paper, because we have a test for you!

DID YOU KNOW...

That homemade paper can be used for packaging? It's because it's soft and puffy, kind of like Styrofoam.
