Instructions

    • 1

      Carefully open the newspaper and separate the pages. Do this slowly to avoid tearing the paper. Wet newspaper pages have a tendency to stick together.

    • 2

      Lay the pages of the newspaper flat on a horizontal surface.

    • 3

      Turn the hairdryer on low heat and hold it approximately 5-6 inches from the paper. Blow the air directly downward onto the paper.

    • 4

      Wait until the paper is dry to the touch and then carefully pick it up from the flat surface. If any part of the paper remains wet, it could stick to the surface and rip.

    • 5

      Put the paper back in order and read.
