Touch-points 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

First, measure the size of the piece you want to cut using a ruler while marking it with a pen. Cut along the lines you have marked using a pair of scissors. The width and outline of the cut strips will determine the end results. Use a template as a guide when cutting the strips. The utmost rims are important in designing because they are the ones which are noticeable.

Step two is to use a toothpick, dowel or bamboo skewer to roll the triangle round itself to make a cylinder, starting from the broad end. If you want a free-form design, you can let the triangle roll a little off-centered or if you want a proportioned spiral, let the triangle become centered. Hanging space should be avoided by rolling your beads firmly for long-lasting products. You can apply glue at intervals to ensure you paper does not roll out.

The third step is to stick the rolled piece to the tip of the triangle and ensure it stays tightly rolled. Before rolling the bead on your finger, make sure the end of the piece is stuck down, used light pressure to ensure that it is cylindrical and protected. If it does not stick tightly, apply another glue and hold the bead for a while to let the glue set.

Next, put your bead on a string in the size you require. Apply varnish to seal the outside of your beads using a brush and leave them to dry out. This assists in hardening and making them water resistant. It is wise to twist them around the bamboo skewer so that they do not stick when they are fully dry. Use foam or a cushion to hold up the rolling tube and stop the excess glue from spreading. Numerous coats are added to ensure the finish lasts longer and is glossy.

You can then remove the beads after a few hours. This is when your varnish has positioned on your bead. It can also be done by sliding the items out of a bamboo skewer or dowel. It will hold only if it is glued and wrapped fine. If you experience unraveling of the bead, add more glue.

One can create some more beads using the steps above so as to complete the project. You can also create long strings and use them for decors or make several beads for jewelry. For decorating your beads, you might consider adding paint on the outside of the bead and put some glitter to make them more gleaming.

A keen follow on this procedure gives you fine results as the items are delicate at times. They can also be used to make earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. You can also decorate your house with them. This is considered a good way of conserving the environment.
