PAPER BEADS PB 85
A great craft for children to make! Make your own beads for necklaces, bracelets, and earrings for just PENNIES! Cut out pieces, beginning at the wider end, roll keeping paper tight, print side down, around a round tooth pick or a meat skewer. Roll all the way to the other end, glue down tip, and GENTLY slide bead off.
Spray or coat bead with a decoupage glue, add some fine glitter and spray again. (I like to use a pearl or clear one so not to hide too much of the pattern), let them dry, and string them. Use glass, metal, crystal or plastic beads between the paper ones as spacers. Use all the beads to make one item, alternating them, or use them to make more than one project. Buy this sheet once, and print an unlimited number of times!
This is a terrific craft activity for children. I even have designed "theme" beads, such as foil, Christmas, Valentine's, Easter and St. Patrick's Day!
