Watch this video, and you will be amazed at just what you can achieve by upcycling magazine pages, scrapbooking paper or any paper. Create beautiful gifts with just a few supplies that you can order online.
What You Will Need:
- Paper or Magazine Pages
- Xacto Knife
- white glue
- knitting needle (for wrapping paper)
- bead cores
- gloss or varnish
Method:
Step 1 - Watch the video for how she cuts the paper on a slight angle so the beads turn out even with a taper at each end to look even more realistic.
Step 2 - Using a knitting needle that is sized the same as your bead cores, wrap the paper tightly.
Step 3 - Shine up your bead with thick glaze, varnish, clear nail polish or the embossing powder she uses in the video. My own personal experience is the "triple thick glaze" super shiny.
Step 4 - A way to dry the beads (suspend with toothpick?)
Step 5 - Add the bead cores to each end with glue.
Step 6 - Leave to set overnight and you are ready to create your own unique jewelry.
You can get most supplies online if you don't have anything at home.
The Bead Cores Makes This Bead Look Professional
To me the Bead cores are the most important part as they give the bead a more professional look.
With many of us at home trying to safe and healthy, getting creative is the perfect way to keep your brain healthy too!
I have been ordering a few craft supplies online with Amazon, it is one of the easiest ways to get supplies without leaving the house, especially craft supplies.
Watch the video and the process she uses to make the beads look so professional!
Stay safe everyone!
We can look back on this time and look at all the creations we have made! Things we never had time for before. Creativity is good for the brain and the spirit.
