How To Make Paper Beads

By Lisa Brooks


Have you tried making a paper bracelet? Well, if not then there is a guide into how you can do this with the shortest time possible. All that you will need will be that old sheet magazine, that old calendar or even that junk mail that you disposed of. From here, you can be in a position to make the best writing sheet bracelets and necklaces. Keep reading to know more about the 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.

The second thing on the supply list will be the writing sheet cutter among other items. The sheet cutter will be crucial in cutting the shapes you want. In addition, you will have to look for toothpicks, glue stick, clear nail polish. All these are items that you can find in the house or borrow from the neighbors for that project to be cheap.

After you are done prepping, cut the magazine pages into strips. If you have other sheet, you just cut it the same way. You will cut the pages in half, or even cut the whole page into quarter strips, the way you fancy it. Then cut the half pages into diagonal shapes where you will get the triangular shaped paper strips.

This step will involve applying the glue. Well, for this part, you have to be a little bit more careful or you will have the glue sticking on every part of the paper. Take one strip of the triangular shape sheet. Take a toothpick, wrap the paper on the toothpick exposing the wider region of the sheet. Apply glue on this wide region and make a notation on the toothpick. Well, roll the paper and remove the toothpick.

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.

You can now string the beads. The final play of making the bracelet will be quite easy. Just take a stringing cord that will vary with the size of your neck. Well, if it is for a kid, the size will be quite small. Organize your beads into your preferred color order. Put the cord through the hole made by the toothpick.

The final step will include creating several knots on the cord in order to allow the possibility of adjusting the size. Well, this will depend highly on the size of the owner and if it is for a kid, you will make fewer knots. You can now enjoy your necklace. You may look for these materials to use from big shops that are well equipped. By doing this you will be able to look for different kind of makes.
