Are you looking for that fast and inexpensive gift that you will love wearing? Make sure that you try the writing sheet beads from recycled paper. Well, the writing sheet can come from old magazines and calendars. All you have to do is make them into pellets and you can then make anything from the bracelets to the necklaces. Keep reading to know how to go about it and more on paper beads.
The first thing that you need to take care of is getting the right materials for this project. Well, since you will not be looking to spend any dime on this project, it is then a better idea you do use the old writing sheets that can be recycled. This will include the invalid calendars and the magazines you are done reading. You can also make use of the junk mail; nobody will need them after they already read them.
Secondly, after getting the writing sheet supplies, you will also need the sheet cutter and some other few things. Well, to begin with, you will have cut the writing sheet into strips. Here you can use the scissors or that sheet cutter. Get some glue and some toothpicks. With these in place then you are all set to begin making the beads.
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.
The other step will include rolling and applying glue. This is the most technical part of this whole project. The fact is that you have to make sure that you get the whole thing right before you may proceed. Take one toothpick and one sheet strip. Roll the wide need of the paper round the toothpick. Take the glue, apply on the remaining part of the writing sheet strip and make one rotation. Firmly roll the paper on the toothpick with your hand. Remove the toothpick.
The other step will include sealing the pellets. This is where the nail polish comes into play. After removing the toothpick, apply nail polish onto the writing sheet bead that you just finished. This nail polish will act as a seal just in case water splashes on the beads. If you do not coat the bead, make sure that the paper does not come into contact with water.
You can now string the beads. The final play of making the bracelet will be quite easy. Just take a stringing cord that will vary with the size of your neck. Well, if it is for a kid, the size will be quite small. Organize your beads into your preferred color order. Put the cord through the hole made by the toothpick.
You can also create several knots to help you tie the cord well. In addition, you have your bracelet. You can put it on and try the new look. If it is too fitting then you can adjust on the knots.
