Printed on regular copy paper. The instructions on the page are excellent and these are easier to make than they look.
I rolled these with a cotton swab with one end cut off and used white glue on the last couple of inches, then rubbed some over the whole bead and rolled it between my fingers for a few seconds.
Let it dry, then dipped three times in Vibrance glaze, drying in between. Alternatively, you can use a small brush to apply clear nail polish, Glossy Accents, etc. as a finish.
I made the pendant bead by rolling just one half of one of the beads-this makes a nice sized oval bead-and used two double-barrel beads on either side.
For the purple bead, I embellished a bit with lavender Liquid Pearls. Fun!!
