paper beads

I have seen this technique done on tons of blogs so finally i took the plunge and made me some paper beads. I love how this set turned out . blue and purple are like my favorite colors right now . so everything i make will probably be either or so beware .
Here are the steps



Triangles cut from a colorful catalog page.
Cut 4 inch by 1 inch (100mm by 20mm) triangles out of magazines or colored paper. Choose colors that you like. " i cut mine 2 inch by 8 and they were still huge" depends on how big u want them .

A bit of glue.Apply a bit of glue to the pointy end of the triangle. A glue stick or a tiny bit of liquid glue will do. I used diamond glaze

Roll around a dowel.Starting at the wide end use a dowel or other slender cylinder (this is a pen refill) to roll the triangle into a cylindrical bead shape. You can make the spiral symmetric with the middle if you try or let it tend to one side. I used a needle

Rolled up.Make sure the narrow end sticks firmly and the bead stays rolled up. Apply another dot of glue if needed.

Slide the bead off.Slide the bead off the end of the dowel.
Brush your beads with a solution of one part clear, white glue to two or three parts water. This step is optional, but it will make your beads last a bit longer and help to smooth out the surface a bit. Let them dry thoroughly, making sure they don't stick to anything while they dry. Try hanging them on a string to dry.

A simple combination with a few beads.Make as many beads as you want. For earrings or a bracelet, you could make only a few beads. For a necklace or other larger project, you'll need more.
thanks for stopping by!
