An Overview On How To Make Paper Beads

By Matthew Bennett


There are a lot of fun things people can do when at home, particularly easy craft. This includes making good things out of junk. Below are some steps on how to make paper beads out of junk materials. Tools needed include glue, scissors, pencil or pen, varnish, ruler, string, an assortment of papers, paper plate, and dowel or toothpick

Firstly, tear a paper from the magazine or newspaper. Cut it into strips beginning from top to bottom using a paper cutter or scissors. Triangular shapes are more appropriate. A template can give you guidance on how to cut the strips. The bead width should be the base of the triangle.

Second, place your dowel at the base of the triangle and roll it round itself, starting with the broadest end, until the glued point is wrapped around the dowel. Roll the strip evenly if you want to achieve proportion so that the pointed end is at the center. Use your finger to extend the glue on the bead. This ensures it is more stud, shiny and held together.

Thirdly, roll tightly the triangle onto the dowel. Make certain that the strip is rolled and stuck down before rolling it on your finger. To ensure that it is protected and cylindrical, put a little pressure on it. If it unravels, put on some more glue and hold it still until the glue is set. Several layers of glue can be applied so as to protect your work.

After the glue is dry, apply varnish to the strip to make it water resistant. You can then roll it around the bamboo skewer to ensure that it does not stick when it is totally dry. Do not let the glued piece stick onto something else. You might consider putting your toothpick in a pincushion to prevent it from touching anything else. Foam can also be used to push off the more glue.

Remove the bead after the finish has entirely dried off by slipping off the ending of the cocktail stick. If it is wrapped well and the glue is applied evenly, the bead will hold. Unraveling might occur if it is not well unfolded. You should add more glue to the loose piece and put it back on the dowel.

The other step is to ensure you wipe out traces of glue before you start making another bead to prevent it from sticking out. After completion of the above steps, you are now in a position to create long strings and use them to make bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and home decors. Decorate your beads by adding glitter and paint on them.

Though this project might be flimsy, the outcome is dependent on the glue and glaze you use. A number of items can be made out of this task including bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings. Home decors can also be made out of this. Before stacking your old papers into the bin, consider making something great out of them.
