Ideas Of Making 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, after getting the writing sheet supplies, you will also need the sheet cutter and some other few things. Well, to begin with, you will have cut the writing sheet into strips. Here you can use the scissors or that sheet cutter. Get some glue and some toothpicks. With these in place then you are all set to begin making the beads.

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.

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.

Now you can seal the sheet. One thing with sheet is that when it comes into contact with water, then it gets spoil. You certainly do not want this. Get some nail polish and put it on the writing sheet. With this, it will act as a coating and if water comes into contact with a bead, then it will not do some real damage.

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.

Make those knots on the cord to allow adjusting of the size. Well, this step can be good. If you do not fill the entire cord with writing sheet, make sure there is some allowance and that you can adjust the size. If it is for your kid leave more room. You can now enjoy your bracelet. It may be advisable to buy these materials from companies that are well equipped to select different kind of colors.
