  • Take it in lumps and put it in a blender to make pump
  • Put the pulp in a large mouthed container (larger than desired paper size) filled with water
  • Get ladyfingers
  • Chop
  • Heat it with water
  • Filter the water out (it is sticky)
  • Mix the sticky water into the large container with pulp
  • Take a fine mesh frame (like the mosquito net frames)
  • Put the mesh frame into the mixture to collect the pulp
  • Properly collect and place the frame to imprint the pulp on to a cotton sheet
  • Use a sponge from behind to absorb the water content
  • Remove the frame carefully so that the pulp remains on the cotton
  • Dry it out
  • Then remove the paper carefully.
