paper beads
using this tutorialhttp://alteredobsession.blogspot.com/20 ... orial.html
i made:
i used a menu/flyer from a pizza place and a department store ad..
great way to recycle. I will be making more of these with actual paper for scrapbooking..if i want matching ones.
you can make tube beads by just using long rectangle shapes..
supposed to cover these in a glaze like mod podge or something but i haven't yet..won't until i'm ready to do a bunch at once.
nice and relaxing last night after my stressful day..no counting..just mindless winding..lol

Re: paper beads
Those are interesting.
How big are they?
What do you think you are going to do with them?

Re: paper beads
Well done, very creative.
You must show us what you do with them though, so we can see how they look as a necklace etc as well.

Re: paper beads
What a great way to recycle all those Irritating advertising leaflets.
I've seen plastic carrier bags crocheted into 'useful' items too. More fiddle than I can be bothered with............
BUT your beads are really

Re: paper beads
I wonder if there's a way to use this basic technique and make beads using scrap pieces of cross stitch fabric.....

Re: paper beads
This is an old thread, and I know it, but I dare to say those paper beads look very interesting. I dare to say I haven't had courage to try to make them, though.
