Thank you for your video. I enjoyed watching it as I was rolling paper beads, LOL. I learned to make paper beads while in grade school from wall paper. I am now 72 and about ten years ago I started making them again. I love making the beads just to look at them and the feel of them. It is an obsession of mine. I look forward to more of your videos.
They are so addictive aren't they? I started making them about 7 years ago or so. I plan to be making more videos during the spring and summer months. I like to experiment with my own designs and designing papers to roll beads using mixed media and such. I thought about doing some beads to inspire others to make their own creative papers.
I'm just starting out, I have arthritis real bad in my hands, specially my thumb joints , I'm in so much pain, yet I can't stop doing this ! I love it. I just used a old folder , I painted it and it rolled up really nice ! My first good looking bead ! 😊 Or you can take out the stapel that hold magazines together. Then you have a nice long piece of that thin yucky paper. I learned last night to have a very damp rag in my lap. We think very much alike ! 😊
Try wearing a arthritic glove while rolling your beads. They have the finger and thumb tips cut out so you can still craft, but give support to your hand at the same time. I wear one when I crochet. It helps a lot. You can find them on Amazon. Also, if you are having pain, take breaks often. If you're having pain, your body is letting you know you need to rest.
I just started making paper beads this week and I'm having so much fun. And now I'm seeing all your great ideas!!! I will probably never throw anything away again. 😆 😆. I drive my family crazeee.
Thank you,for your video.I've been making beads for about 20 years.1 of my favorite papers to use is construction paper to do acrylic dips.And copy paper for marbling paper.I go crazy when I see paper.lol
I bought my beading tool on Amazon, I wished had had watched this video before I purchased on Etsy the beading template 🤦🏾♀️! Thanks for the tutorial!
OMG!!! U R AMAZING! I FINALLY FOUND THE ARTIIST I WAS LOOKING FOR!!! U GAVE ME LOTS & LOTS OF OUTSTANDING IDEAS & KNOWLEDGE 2 FIRE ME UP! BLESS U!!! LOOKING FORWARD TO FOLLOW U FROM SAN SEBASTIAN, PUERTO RICO!!! TAKE CARE!!! ✌💜💙💚🧡💛❤😂
Awwww... Thank you for your kind words! I have a lot of paper bead designs planned before the year is up. Also, don't know if you would be interested, but I recently did a video on spindle spinning paper to make paper beads and paper craft projects. I will be doing some videos of paper beads made from different types of spun papers. If your interested the link is below: th-cam.com/video/WJJiFcog24c/w-d-xo.html I'm also going to be uploading some videos in the near future of some techniques I used with paper beads from paper bead pins on my Pinterest page. pin.it/4AUIywo
I have just watched this tutorial and loved it. Very informative and packed with loads of ideas. Definitely great for a beginner like myself. Thank you
Awesome tutorial, thank you for your beautiful artistry tutorial, I enjoyed it so much, that I'm most definitely going to make it happen, paper beads or the straw, zzzzzzzz
Excellent tutorial, your tutorial is the best, your enthusiasm ,the clarity of how you explained it, you made it sound so easy, which it is,awesome, best tutorial of all my hat is off to you,,, not boring but very interesting, amazingly how we can do so much with all kinds of papers, artistry, the best ,,loved it every moment of it,,, I will continue watching your tutorials, excellent teacher thank you and God bless you Zoe
Zoe, thank you so much for your kind reply! You are most welcome and I am so glad you have found this tutorial helpful! You are appreciated! Good day to you! ❤️
I saw paper beads by watching junk journal video's and was curious on how to make them. Your video is so well instructed so I am going to give this a try
I’ve used church bulletins (order of church service) to make paper beads. The weight of paper is good & the picture on the front makes good coloring of beads.
I am just finishing watching your video. Learned a lot, going to look for more of your video. I love the way you explained all the details about paper bead making. Love the idea that if it's paper one can roll, there's a bead especially the cutting and colouring the white areas. Thank you, and can't wait till tomorrow to try a bead with new, better information. I have made 5 😊 !!!
Love this video and thank you for all you share on bead making. Stumbled onto this craft and finding ways to play with my beloved hoarded supplies...haha. your beads are beautiful. Will search for how you glaze your beads... they look long lasting and sturdy. Thanks again!!!
What an amazing video! You are just awesome both as a tutor,and how you have made such beautiful beads,with wonderful ideas,thank you for sharing you made my day x
Tysm , I'm a crafter n make junk journals We add beads to spines n dangles ect Iv not started rolling yet but I intend to This video has been huge help X sp
I like to leave a millimeter at the skinny tip and alternate sizes with another bead with a tip the same width as the base of the other bead. I'll do a whole sheet of paper and can choose to add the smaller tip to the end of the wide base for a wider bicone bead
When I want a really small hole for earrings or something I wrap first around a toothpick just to get it curled how I want it and then I take it off and I reroll it (with white glue as needed) around a straightened out paper clip. I hadn't heard about spun paper before and you probably use better glazing techniques than what I've used so far. I'll have to check out those other videos! Thanks!
Hvor jeg dog bare elsker at lave disse smukke perler, og tusinde tak for at gøre det så let at starte, for relativt få midler. Denne video er bare så inspirerende at man straks må igang, og det kan man faktisk , hvis man har lidt reklamer og lidt værktøj, og lidt fantasi til at lave ruller, jeg lavede en med en hårnål, som blev banket flad og sat et håndtag på, samt takket være alle dine fantastiske råd. Og så er det jo også motiverende at man hurtigt får nogle smukke perler bare med nogle farvestrålende reklamer. Jeg elsker bare denne video, så tak bare tak ❤
Very informative, I'm just beginning to learn this craft.( I just wish the camera wasn't zoomed in so much) But as I said, very informative, Thank you.
Great video, I'm just starting out making paper beads. Your beads are lovely. How long is that piece of paper that you're cutting? [50.46 mins] Thanks.
I have watched several videos on making paper beads you showed several things that could be used for making beads and i enjoyed your video do you do any junk journal making or glue books ?????
I have a ? But can't find a recent video,,when using coconut oil to coat your toothpicks " do you soak them or just rub it on & let dry? Idk 🤷♀️ any recipes on treating your toothpicks or skewers? I hadn't worked with them til now,,much more comfortable,,but didn't know how to treat until now thank you so much! ❤
I really didn't measure how much coconut I used. What I did do was dump a whole box of rounded toothpicks in container with a fitted lid and if I were to guess maybe start with a teaspoon amount of pure coconut oil and coat them all with your hands moving them around and back and forth. I left my cover off for a day or 2 and went back a few times a day to make sure all the tooth picks were good and covered moving them around. If they need more coconut oil, add more, but I didn't need to. If they seem to have too much coconut oil, add more toothpicks. After a couple of days, I put the lid on and left them. Store them in a cool, dry place. I have some I coated years ago and still use them. I haven't had to add any more oil, either. They will eventually absorb all the oil and last for a long time. Don't put them in the refrigerator. If you do the coconut oil, you will go back to solid form again.A shelf where it's cool at room temperature will work just fine.
Also, if you want to add essential oils, you can. If you do decide to add essential oils, I would put your coconut oil in a bowl and add the oil(s) you desire and then mix completely with a spoon before adding to your toothpicks. This way, the oil(s) will be evenly distributed.
It is really personal preference and can depend on a lot of factors. It can depend on what type of paper you prefer working with or what type of jewelry you intend to make. Do you enjoy making smaller beads or larger beads? Do you enjoy working with thinner or thicker paper? Do you need to make Focal beads with larger holes. Are you going to use wire to string your beads or leather cord? Do you prefer layering paper to make larger beads, but prefer a smaller holed bead? Do you prefer less layers of paper but a larger holed bead? Some papers like cardboard are harder to roll on smaller diameter rollers, where as in contrast a smaller diameter roller works better with thin paper such as from magazines. So, really depends on what you intend to make your beads with and for.
Thank you! Yes, I sure do. I have been planning to get more back into paper arts and paper bead designing, but I have had health battles that have thwarted my plans. I do hope that in the near future, I can get back to the tutorial ideas I want to do. I absolutely love and enjoy paper arts!
Great advice! There are many ways to utilize avaliable resources to make crafting tools. There is nothing wrong with making your own. I have made many things to craft with instead of buying.
If you want your beads to be smooth, you can file them with sandpaper or a fingernail file. I have done this, and it won't remove all the ridges, but it will be less noticeable. If you want your beads to be particular colors, you have a few options. You can use solid colored paper, paint with acrylic craft paint, watercolor paint, or color your paper strips you are going to roll with colored markers.
This was so so thorough! I'm just starting my journey as a paper beader and the info you provided was wonderful! Thanks so much!!!
You are so welcome!
Aleene's Tacky Glue is what I have used for 20 years.Love it.

Thank you!
Muito obrigado pela conteúdo ecelentes trabalho 👏👏😍🇧🇷
You're very welcome!
Oh! the coconut oil on TP so they don't, stick very important, TY 😊
You're very welcome. I like it much better than Vasoline. Vaseline has a stickiness about it where the wooden toothpicks just soak the coconut oil up.
Wonderful advice!😊
Glad it was helpful!
Awesomeness here I loved loved this❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Stay tuned there will be more paper bead videos to come soon!
Thank you very much for sharing 😇💕👍😎💕😇
You're very welcome!
I like wrapping paper...especially if doing multiple layers
Yes, wrapping paper is another great alternative for bead making. Great time of the year to collect used wrapping paper for future beads, too! 😊
Cotter pins from the hardware store work great.
Yes, they do. So many options to make your own.
Great video, I'm just starting out making paper beads. Your beads are lovely. How long is that piece of paper that you're cutting? [50.46 mins] Thanks.
Thank you! I honestly do not remember as it was paper from something I do not have anymore.
Cut your pool noodles in 1" circles. You will get more surface use of noodle.
Good suggestion!
I have watched several videos on making paper beads you showed several things that could be used for making beads and i enjoyed your video do you do any junk journal making or glue books ?????
Thank you! I've never tried junk journaling or glue books.
Thank you for the video awesome techer

Where did you get the glitter and Keller klutz scrapbook paper? Love it
I bought them on sale half price several years ago at Hobby Lobby.
Thank youuuuu🎉
You're very welcome!
What about paint samples from Lowe's?
Yes, you can use paint samples. They make very nice beads too.
Which of all those rollers is the most used?
It is really personal preference and can depend on a lot of factors. It can depend on what type of paper you prefer working with or what type of jewelry you intend to make. Do you enjoy making smaller beads or larger beads? Do you enjoy working with thinner or thicker paper? Do you need to make Focal beads with larger holes.

Nice video!! Do you still do paper beads?? 😊
Thank you! Yes, I sure do. I have been planning to get more back into paper arts and paper bead designing, but I have had health battles that have thwarted my plans. I do hope that in the near future, I can get back to the tutorial ideas I want to do. I absolutely love and enjoy paper arts!
Awesome
Thank you!
Sono belle. Brava! Dove compra la carta colorata? Grazie, 🙋♀️
I answered you questions in your other post.
I alcohol inked photo paper and then cut and rolled, so ended up with a shiny bead
I made beads with a take out menu!
Awesome! 🙂 Paper Beads can be made with so many types of paper!
Cotter pins are cheaper to buy and if you know/are woodworker can make ha DC le from scraps will be lots cheaper
Great advice! There are many ways to utilize avaliable resources to make crafting tools. There is nothing wrong with making your own. I have made many things to craft with instead of buying.
What are stitch markers??
Stitch markers are used in knitting and crochet to mark a certain place while working a pattern.
Why didn’t I ever think of a sponge for the glue?? The under of my table is almost ruined 😅
LOL

I thought you were going to show us how to glaze them inside and outside
There is a seperate video for The advanced Glazing process. You can find it at the following link.
