Tips On Making Of Paper Beads

By Lisa Brooks


Have you ever thought of trying to make the paper beads? Well, if not, then you should try it someday. For this project, you will not spend much and in fact, you can spend all the recycled materials in your house. Some of these materials will include magazines or old emails. Other essentials will be the glue and toothpicks. Keep reading to know how to do this exactly.

The first thing that you need to take care of is getting the right materials for this project. Well, since you will not be looking to spend any dime on this project, it is then a better idea you do use the old writing sheets that can be recycled. This will include the invalid calendars and the magazines you are done reading. You can also make use of the junk mail; nobody will need them after they already read them.

Secondly, you need to find the other supply its including the scissors and writing sheet cutter. Both of these will be used to cut the writing sheet into strips. If you got one, it is quite enough. Make sure that you also get some toothpicks and nail polish. If you miss one of these at home, then you can ask for help from your neighbor.

Well, when you are done with the preparation, your may begin by cutting the writing sheet strips. Take the magazine and cut the writing sheet in half and then into quarter pages. Well, take the quarter sheet and cut it across through the diagonal in such a way that you get the triangular shapes. Well, these will be what you need to make the pellets. Arrange them on the table.

Take your glue and your toothpick. Well, this is the stage where you will have to be very careful or else you will end up having too much glue on your hands that you will mess the whole project. Take one sheet strip and a toothpick. Roll the paper on the toothpick and apply glue on the open side. Roll it all around the toothpick in such a way that you get a circular shape. Remove the toothpick and place the sheet roll on the table.

When you are done with the other pieces, seal the beads. This step will be very crucial in a way that if you do not do this, then your beads will be very vulnerable to water. Take the nail polish preferably the clear nail polish. Apply on the outside of the beads. Leave them to dry for about ten minutes and then you are good to go ahead with the next step.

String the beads on a cord. Take ant string and the start putting the beads through the holes that the toothpick left. Well, you can string them in a certain order, one that will create a pattern or just put them according to your liking.

You can also create several knots to help you tie the cord well. In addition, you have your bracelet. You can put it on and try the new look. If it is too fitting then you can adjust on the knots.
