Paper Beads?

[Hocus Pocus]

Anyone? I really love making colorful paper beads. Ever since I did a lesson plan for kids on how to make them I've become obsessed with them. I'll post some of my beads later.

Anyone else into making these?

I gave someone a paper bead making kit as a gift cause they looked cool but never tried making them. Do you use a kit?

Nope. I just use a tooth pick to wrap them around, some clear drying glue (but I prefer mog podge, and some markers of your choice to color on white paper. Then I cut them out in strips and start wrapping! xD

I used to be obsessed. xD That was until I ran out of paper and made too many beads. OTL
Can I see what you've made? ovo

This sounds like it'd be a lot of fun to do!

does the paper need to be thicker Hocus? Or can you use stuff like old wrapping paper?

[Hocus Pocus]

I use computer paper Lemon.
I've never used wrapping paper, but I have used clippings from a magazine once before and it worked alright.
I think you could use wrapping paper, because magazine paper is about similar thickness.

I have pictures now. lol Had to go through a container to find some of them.

cool, i like how you can make different sizes. those would make great earrings - are the beads heavy?

[Hocus Pocus]

They're lightweight. haha Being made of paper they don't get really heavy. The longer ones my boyfriend actually wrapped. I like the smaller ones which are good for bracelets. That's a really good idea to make earrings out of them! I might try that later this week.

maybe you can make some anklets and we can bring them back in style. They'd also be cute tied onto flip flops or sandals

Those are very pretty! They kind of remind of how I used to be obsessed with making friendship bracelets. I made one for like everybody >_>

[Hocus Pocus]

lemon: Omg, I remember the last time I wore a anklet. It was in the 90's and I was also wearing jelly sandals.

@cotton: That just means everyone is your friend! Can't really go wrong there. Also thank you.

I've never even heard of those, but they look pretty. I'd like to try that and I'll look for an instructional online. How long do they take to make?
