Papyrus Papyrus Plant To make the paper-like writing material, the exterior of the PAPYRUS stem was discarded and the interior was cut into thin strips. The strips were soaked in water and beaten to break down and flatten the fibers. They were then layered crosswise and lengthwise to produce a sheet, which was beaten again to mesh the strips together. Weights were placed on the sheets while they dried. Once dry, the sheets were rolled up and stored until needed. 33
