Making beads from start to finish
For this tutorial, I am going to take you through, step by step, how to turn junk mail, leaflets or wrappers into beads.
In this tutorial, I am going to cover several different topics.
* What tools you need
* How to measure your paper using a ruler and drawing your own triangles
* Cutting out your triangles
* Deciding how many strips to use
* Glazing your beads by hand to achieve a perfect finish.

Years ago I had the worst paper bead making addiction that you can imagine! Lol. You're making me feel like I'm going to fall of the wagon abd start making them again! Lol. Yours turned out lovely 😊💚

Have made lots of paper beads in the past but have forgotten how to measure for them. Your tutoria is very helpful. LOL, I am rubbish with the metric system, but not so good with the measuring system here in the states either. Anyway, your video helpful to me to remember measuring to make paper beads from scratch.

But the brush of nail polish is narrow (generally small) and a bit stiff, so it will be more laborious. Not to mention that even the cheapest nail polish with sparkles will come more expensive.

I was a little confused when you were on the last layer and you would pick one of the beads laying down and brush it a few times then set it back down. Wasn’t sure why you did that? Great video!

These are so lovely. Just wondered why you don't use a core like some people do? I can't get cores right anyway so i prefer your method. Also, i wonder if instead of oasis i could used a polystyrène block?

@SqueakerChimp Жыл бұрын

I just use oasis because my mum had some. You can use anything. If you mean using a plastic straw in the middle of the bead and rolling around that, I don't do that for two reasons. 1 the home is too big and 2, you can not get plastic straws in the UK now. They are not eco friendly. Using as your bead walls are thick enough you will be fine.

@dianadevlin3717 Жыл бұрын

@@SqueakerChimp by core i mean a roll of plain paper the same width as your bead paper. I don't really know why they do it, maybe to make the bead stronger?

I have a cat that should be named Squeaker Chimp because she squeaks rather than meows, and rapid squeaks sound like a chimpanzee.
