Paper Beads! Brand new on CUP. This is a really fun craft and can be used for just about anything from jewelry making to greeting cards!
All you need is a little patience at first and a few supplies like scissors, paper glue and toothpicks and you're on your way! Once you've made a couple beads - you'll be amazed at how fast it goes and you'll be hooked!
Complete instructions are included and these instructions apply regardless of the bead shape. For the tube beads, you can start rolling from either end, otherwise, you'll always start rolling from the wide end.

Printed on regular copy paper. 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 knotted a matching pair of the beads onto cord to embellish a bookmark from cup104122_487. More beads from this sheet are also pictured.
