Hi everyone!
A few posts ago I shared with you a website about paper beads. I've finally made a few of my own. These beads are sooo easy to make! I got the bead roller tool from Fire Mountain Gems and Beads. I used wrapping paper cut into long strips - 1" wide x 30" long! One 1" strip makes a total of 3 beads - 1 wide and 2 small. The longer the strip the thicker the bead! After rolling them I brushed on a coat of glossy Mod Podge and let them dry overnight. Then coated them with Acrylic Sealer to protect them from moisture.
Here's a few pics to see:
The great thing about these beads is that there are so many mediums that you can use and colors are limitless. I'm just getting started making my beads, but I have a bracelet in mind for when I have enough beads done. I'll be posting it - so stay tuned!
Have a fantastic day - see ya soon!
