Beads made from magazine
pages? How could that be?
Read below to find out how to make this great wearable craft!
Materials Needed:
Magazine pages (preferable
full of pictures/colors)
Scissors
Glue
Ruler
Pencil or fine point marker
Toothpick
Fine string, thread, or fishing
line
Extra craft beads for decoration
Procedure:
Measure a magazine page to
cut strips in various widths (1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 inches).
Cut strips from magazine
Analyze the paper for pictures
that would make great patterns. Starting with the opposite
end of the picture, put a dab of glue on the outside (side
to be rolled over).
Roll the strip around the
toothpick. The glue will hold the center together and the
toothpick will allow room to string the beads together later.
At the last 1/4 inch of the
roll, put a dab of glue on the underside of the paper. This
will keep the roll from coming apart.
Remove toothpick and allow
to dry.
Repeat with other strips.
String the beads, alternating
between round craft beads and long magazine beads, onto a
piece of string, thread, or fishing line.
