By Lisa Brooks


Have you ever thought of trying to make the paper beads? Well, if not, then you should try it someday. For this project, you will not spend much and in fact, you can spend all the recycled materials in your house. Some of these materials will include magazines or old emails. Other essentials will be the glue and toothpicks. Keep reading to know how to do this exactly.

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, you need to find the other supply its including the scissors and writing sheet cutter. Both of these will be used to cut the writing sheet into strips. If you got one, it is quite enough. Make sure that you also get some toothpicks and nail polish. If you miss one of these at home, then you can ask for help from your neighbor.

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.

When you are done with the other pieces, seal the beads. This step will be very crucial in a way that if you do not do this, then your beads will be very vulnerable to water. Take the nail polish preferably the clear nail polish. Apply on the outside of the beads. Leave them to dry for about ten minutes and then you are good to go ahead with the next step.

String the beads on a cord. Take ant string and the start putting the beads through the holes that the toothpick left. Well, you can string them in a certain order, one that will create a pattern or just put them according to your liking.

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.
