As an avid paper bead maker, I am always trying to think of ways to improve the finish. One thing that I have always wanted to improve on is how the ends of paper beads look.
In this video, I show you how I stengthen the edges of your beads to create stronger and prettier core holes at either end of your tapered beads.
If you make paper beads, this will be of interest to you because it adds a professional, finished look to paper beads that might otherwise look quite ordinary.
The techniques I show in the video allow you to give a subtle touch of gold or silver to your beads or go for a bolder look using the same technique in a different way.
As usual, I have made a blog post to go with this tutorial and in that post you will find links to two free printable designs on my website.
These free designs can be printed and cut into bead strips ready to make paper beads using this technique.
