By Lisa Brooks


Are you looking for that fast and inexpensive gift that you will love wearing? Make sure that you try the writing sheet beads from recycled paper. Well, the writing sheet can come from old magazines and calendars. All you have to do is make them into pellets and you can then make anything from the bracelets to the necklaces. Keep reading to know how to go about it and more on paper beads.

The first step that comes into play will be getting the sheet materials. Well, this is a project and for any project, you need the right supplies. They will include the invalid calendars and the read mail. When you get the material right, then I can assure you that the project will be very cheap since you will buy nothing for the stores.

Secondly, after getting the writing sheet supplies, you will also need the sheet cutter and some other few things. Well, to begin with, you will have cut the writing sheet into strips. Here you can use the scissors or that sheet cutter. Get some glue and some toothpicks. With these in place then you are all set to begin making the beads.

Well, when you are done with the preparation, your may begin by cutting the writing sheet strips. Take the magazine and cut the writing sheet in half and then into quarter pages. Well, take the quarter sheet and cut it across through the diagonal in such a way that you get the triangular shapes. Well, these will be what you need to make the pellets. Arrange them on the table.

This step will involve applying the glue. Well, for this part, you have to be a little bit more careful or you will have the glue sticking on every part of the paper. Take one strip of the triangular shape sheet. Take a toothpick, wrap the paper on the toothpick exposing the wider region of the sheet. Apply glue on this wide region and make a notation on the toothpick. Well, roll the paper and remove the toothpick.

The other step will include sealing the pellets. This is where the nail polish comes into play. After removing the toothpick, apply nail polish onto the writing sheet bead that you just finished. This nail polish will act as a seal just in case water splashes on the beads. If you do not coat the bead, make sure that the paper does not come into contact with water.

You can now string the beads. The final play of making the bracelet will be quite easy. Just take a stringing cord that will vary with the size of your neck. Well, if it is for a kid, the size will be quite small. Organize your beads into your preferred color order. Put the cord through the hole made by the toothpick.

Make those knots on the cord to allow adjusting of the size. Well, this step can be good. If you do not fill the entire cord with writing sheet, make sure there is some allowance and that you can adjust the size. If it is for your kid leave more room. You can now enjoy your bracelet. It may be advisable to buy these materials from companies that are well equipped to select different kind of colors.
