Recycled Paper Fire Logs ─ BuzzFeed Nifty

Here is what you'll need!

RECYCLED PAPER FIRE LOGS

SUPPLIES
Recycled paper
Water
Bucket
Plastic container
Power drill
Paint mixer

INSTRUCTIONS
Put recyclable paper into bucket.
Fill the bucket with enough water to soak all the paper. Soak it overnight.
Using a power drill, use the paint mixer attachment and mix until the paper turns into a pulpy mush.
Take handfuls of the paper pulp and squeeze out as much water as possible.
Place it into your plastic container until it fills half way full. Place another container on top and flip the two containers.
Place a heavy object on top and let the water drip out for a couple of hours. (optional: drill small holes into the second container for quicker drainage)
Take out the paper log and leave it out to dry. This may take many days depending on the size of your log.
When firing up the paper logs, make sure to have a flame already going. If you try and light the log on fire it will only smolder.
This will keep your house warm during the winters and no need to go chopping wood!
