Tips On Making Of Paper Beads

By Lisa Brooks


Are you looking for that fast and inexpensive gift that you will love wearing? Make sure that you try the writing sheet beads from recycled paper. Well, the writing sheet can come from old magazines and calendars. All you have to do is make them into pellets and you can then make anything from the bracelets to the necklaces. Keep reading to know how to go about it and more on paper beads.

The first step that comes into play will be getting the sheet materials. Well, this is a project and for any project, you need the right supplies. They will include the invalid calendars and the read mail. When you get the material right, then I can assure you that the project will be very cheap since you will buy nothing for the stores.

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.

Get the sheet magazine and cut them into strips. You will be required to cut the sheet into half or even into quarter pieces with regard to the size of the paper. Well, after you are done with this, cut the sheet into diagonal shapes so that you get that triangular shape from the strips. Proceed to the following step.

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.

The other step will include sealing the pellets. This is where the nail polish comes into play. After removing the toothpick, apply nail polish onto the writing sheet bead that you just finished. This nail polish will act as a seal just in case water splashes on the beads. If you do not coat the bead, make sure that the paper does not come into contact with water.

After this, leave them to dry and then proceed to string them. Stringing the beads will depend highly on the colors that you want to be on the bracelet or the necklace. Here, you can arrange them to your preferred style. Take the cord and put the beads through the toothpick hole.

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.
