Hello my Friend !
Paper beads have been around forever.
I can remember making some in elementary school!
Often they are made with a long triangular
shaped strip of paper.
Today I'm sharing a bead that's a little different variation.
I started with a page from a magazine.
The paper had a matte finish.
I cut my steps 1/2'' wide and about 5'' long
I used eyelets to create a finish edge to the beads.
I rolled the beads by hand to fit the eyelets I had on hand.
Eyelets are sometimes had to find.
I found mine at Harbor Freight Company !
Check it out if you have a store near you.
I glued the eyelets on both ends of the beads.
I like the cylinder shape. They look like tiny spools.
I had a mix of eyelets.
Some were silver, brass and copper
I added some beads to the MERMAID JOURNAL here.
The knot at the top is a place to hook a pen.
The beads can easily be threaded onto ribbon.
Then I decided to string a few on a
scrap of vintage seam binding
and attached it to my daily calendar.
Just for fun!
Thank you!
