Depends on what type of paper you want to make. 
Western style all you need is used paper soaked for a
couple of days in water to make a pulp and then run it
throught a screen the size of the paper you want. then
spray it with a binder and wait for it to dry.  

Easter style usualy means boiling some natural fiber,
ie. Kudzo, to death and then doing the same thing as
for western papers. 

In short with a bit of prep ahead of time, getting the
pulp ready, you can make tons of paper in one day.  

The equipment you need are:
buckets for pulp
reasonably sized pan to strain paper pulp
bledner or beaters to make pulp
dekle molds (frame that forms the paper)
size 
pulp material
felt
clamps and board for press
water, water, water, and more water

Call me and we can talk more I've done this with kids
with little trouble.

YIS,
Aurelia
