Device for Non-Destructive Transforming of Paper

A device for wetting and changing texture and density of a material, comprising:

• a porous element that absorbs and retains liquid, releases liquid when pressed;
• a container that encases the porous element, with an opening through which to add liquid to the porous element and access the material;
• a recession on a surface of the porous element, aligned with the opening of the container;
• and
• an insert that extends through and secures in the opening of the container with a wall adjacent to the contours of the surface of the porous element that forms a textured piece with one or more holes, the insert which can be pressed downward with paper onto and compress the porous element with applied force sufficient to release liquid to wet and densify the material, such that a mass of the material is introduced into the one or more holes of the textured piece and against the compressed porous element to form textures on a surface of the material, and return to a relaxed position when not pressed.
