I lost my lesson plans from years ago on how to make paper beads. I'm scheduled to teach this to 1-15 year olds in two weeks for a summer fun thing.<br/>Thank you, thank you, thank you.<br/>Connie You just saved my life.

I made a few using colors in my living room decor and then strung them on the pull cords of my blinds. It looks so nice. Also I rolled them on straws and then just cut the straw leaving it on the inside part of the bead. These are so nice.

I have just NOW discovered the online crafting blog world and I am gorging on the sites and getting lost in all the links. I too totally am cheap when crafting and I despaired of working with my hands without spending $100's of dollars on all the stuff needed. <br/><br/>Well, I've started making jewelry with shrinky dinks (perfecto for my small apartment) and now your paper beads will be the perfect accessory. And I discovered Steiner dolls. I am in craft heaven right now and no one should expect me to leave my apartment all this weekend. (after I get back from the craft store that is!)

Diamond Glaze or Glossy Effects work for sealing them. The new Glossy Effects will even give an antique look to them! Thanks for the great tutorial-I saw this somewhere a couple of years ago and forgot about it! I have made some the same way with metal strips (some I crimp first and stamp or color with sharpies)some I leave plain and others I wrap with wire and glass beads. These I don't cover with any sealer. Lots of possiblilities!<br/>Shauna These beads are great! Diamond Glaze or Glossy Effects work for sealing them.
