- If you are a member of my paper bead group on Facebook (link below) or if you have been my pictures on social media, you will know that I have been experimenting with my paper beads and fire. In this tutorial, I will share with your the step I do and share with you a set of beads I made from scratch.
WARNING - IN THIS TUTORIAL I AM USING A GAS POWERED TORCH THAT WILL GET VERY HOT PLUS YOU ARE SLIGHTLY SETTING YOUR PAPER BEADS ON FIRE. IF YOU DECIDE TO FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL, THEN PLEASE DO SO WITH CAUTION. HAVE PLENTY OF WATER TO HAND AND KEEP CLOTHES AND HAIR AWAY FROM THE NAKED FLAME.
In this tutorial, I am going to cover the following topics.

Wow, I've never seen this technique before...inspiring. I have a bbq lighter (somewhere, lol) and resin, I think I'll give it a try using these. Thank you so much for sharing. I just found your channel, btw, I feel a binge coming on, lol.
Binge away and leave a comment so I know you were there 🤣😂 binge watching is good x
Thank you for the inspiration, they look like ceramic beats. I love them.
Brilliant touch to try! Toasty Beads! Lovely!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful beads, technique, & coloring effect 🦋
Thank you so much for watching and glad you liked it
Ty for sharing this and your video on making the glaze w/mica powders! I’ve often made my own beads using polymer clay, and could never have too many beads in my stash. Ty for generously sharing your tip’s, and your sunny disposition! I’m in the US, so will be looking for these mica powders on Amazon here, and looking forward to creating some gorgeous bead creation’s🌻💜
So pleased you enjoyed it and thank you for watching! Enjoy creating
absolutely amazing...they do look like ceramic...beautiful!
Thank you xxx
you are right, they look like pottery! amazing! i think you are a true artisan.
Thank you, that’s so kind of you
You naughty girl ! The tip of the torch can get very hot , do not toss it down on top of your paper strips !!! Safety first ❤❤❤😊
It was fine! 🤣 I live dangerously
Such a good idea. I love it.
@@brechtjewiersma2819 thank you
Oh 😱what a great idea !!! They look amazing !!!🤎
Thanks!
I made some just like this, out of a magazine and , they are my absolute favorite's of all my beads. Why is that ? They just dont need anything other than a nice gloss finish. I love the burning idea too. Ill do that soon as i finish my red, wht, n blue 4th of july stuff.
Beautiful! I don’t know why, buy I love making paper beads 😂😂
It’s so relaxing isn’t it x
Certainly is😊
Thank you 🙏 for showing us I absolutely love ❤️ them xx 😘
I absolutely love them.
Thanks, they were so much fun to make xxx
Excellent!!
Smores🍫🍫🍫 Anyone 😂 I Couldn't Help Myself. This Seems Like A Really Cool Technique. However I Am Really Curious To See If This Technique Would Work Just Using A Heat Gun Especially If You Have One With Variable Temperature I Am Excited To Try This While Eating Some Treats😋😋😋 As Always Your A Joy To Watch God Keeps You Happy Blessings🙏🙏🙏🙋
I’d love to see what your beads come out like if you try.
@@SqueakerChimp I tried it- didn't work. Just as I was thinking I'm going to have to buy a torch, my smoke alarm started wailing! I guess I will have to take this idea outdoors. I absolutely love these "burnt beads"! Also love your videos- I find your voice and manner so soothing. Thanks so very much!
Elizabeth P thank you!
i torched some beads i made that had a silver metallic bits in it it turned the a gold color at the silver
Love it! Do you know if you need the torch like tool or could you carefully try it above an open flame (like from a candle)? I typically use Elmers glue to glue down the end of my paper strips and then have some excess that I smear around the bead. Do you think that will affect how the heat alters things?
Not sure, but have a go and see. Just be careful with the flame. Xxx
Absolutely lovely
Love them and these tutorials thanks Zoe❤️
Thanks Shelly xxxx
Love your beads!
I'm just getting started and am absolutely in love with the bead ideas! I have one question, tho: with all the labor that goes into the creation of each individual bead, how much would one be advised to charge for something like a full beaded bracelet with findings? These are valuable!
That's a really good question and it's not an easy one to answer. With something like these beads, you might find it better to use maybe 1-3 beads and pair them with other beads that are less labour intensive.
Wow I love your work
Thank you x
Molto belle!! Grazie per il video!
Thanks!
wonderful! I would like to know the name of the "Lack" and tell you, that the link to fb doesn't work sadly. Greatings from germany 🙋♀️
I use triple thick and the Facebook group is called Squeakerchimp paper bead group
What is the shape of this bead and how would I cut the strips? I am loving the technique of burning the bead.
This was made with triangle strips but about 8 or 9 magazine strips together to create this bead. Glad you like the technique
thank you for sharing!
Would it be possible to use a candle flame instead of that torch you have? I really don’t want to buy another tool.
Give it a go! You never know
Beautiful
Thank you
Beautiful.
Thanks
Oh my gosh….I LOVE this burning technique! ❤️ I can see how it could be different using different paper types. I can’t wait to do this on some of my beads!
Thank you Zoe!!!
So glad you liked it Julie x
What size did you cut your paper strips for this bead and how many strips of paper did you use to achieve this shape? This is a cool technique.
Not sure I’m afraid. I often measure by eye. I believe I used 5 strips
Molto belle 👏👏
Dove hai preso l'attrezzo con cui inizi ad arrotolare le strisce?

Why do you have to burn the bead? Berry nice! I want to try this.
The burning creates the colour effect
What is kind of paper can I use
Any paper you can use.
Genuine question: What is the purpose of tourching?
To create the burn texture and colour on the beads you would not be able to create in any other way.
Thank you @@SqueakerChimp, Sorry I was too quick off the mark quizzing you. I hadn’t even seen the video all the was through. Having now seen the end results I absolutely see what you mean. 👌💕
@@marymary5494 No problem, glad it helped
Darn Great
why would you burn them?
To create a rich texture and colour that is not achievable in other ways.
Once I muted the volume, wasn't too bad.
Ok thanks, I think
I don't understand the reasoning for touching them?
Touching or torching? the torching gives them a colour that paper alone would not achieve. It is a well known technique used in wood to enhance the grain of the wood. I am applying it here to enhance the paper strips.
Español por favor.
I am not sure how to add Spanish subtitles - sorry
music interferes with tutorial and the ability to pay attention to you
I don’t think there is any music
Waaaaaaaay tooooooo much talking!
I am sorry you don't like the tutorial. I can't please everyone. Many like the explanations.
That’s awesome! ❤️ that has me thinking now what I can use for my own design . Thanks for the great tutorial.
Carrol Wagner thanks! Can’t wait to see what you make
So creative. There is always a new way of making paper beads. I've got some new ideas now ticking in my head. Thanks.
What an awesome video! I’ve made countless paper beads and I’ve learned a few tricks and ideas from yours. Thankyou so much! It’s been ages since I went to my beading station, I have a lot of beads to glaze, after watching your video, I sure want to do it again and give my sewing machine a break lol.
So glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for your kind words
I love new techniques! And do use a torch with some things. But in my opinion you can get the same look with alcohol inks, stain etc? Thoughts?
Feel free to try, it's all about experimenting. You might be able to get a similar look but I do like burning them 🤣
what is the name of the type of blue bead at 5:36? I have made many of them quite some time ago, but i can't remember what they are called or the measurement I used. Do you have a video of making them at all? thank you
They are just a variation on the bicone bead but you need a long strip of paper or join two together. Thanks for watching 😊
What about flammable glues ?? Much more to think about.
My glue is not flammable, would only ever recommend using simple glues with paper
nice and cool tips... a few people buy paper beads but you can make your own
thank you so much Squeaker Chimp!
i want to say that ''i really like your vids and tips''
It’s so fun to make your own! Really pleased you enjoy the videos
Love your beads and all the different ways you color and glaze them.. you are so inspiring. Do you have a video on how to make your ball beads, or disk beads? I love those shapes, and they really look like ceramic beads.
Beautiful technique! I see paperbead making in my near future!
You have such unique, creative and gorgeous ideas. Love this look. Thank you for sharing.
That’s so lovely of you - thank you x
The beads are beautiful but, you talk very soft & I couldn't hear anything you were saying.
My apologies I will try better
Beautiful beads! To me, they look nice without the singed effect. You mentioned CDs.....do you have tutorials using them in your projects? I have tons that I want to make something out of. TYFS new subbie here Michigan USA ❤️🦋💜
I have done the videos, just need to actually make the edited version - never enough hours in the day.
@@SqueakerChimp I hear ya! I never have time to even craft 😢. I just realized your most recent video was 11 mos ago....hope you’re ok. Will look forward to more from you 🥰👍🏻❤️🦋💜
Where do you get the tiny glue bottle ?
I have the empty bottles in my Etsy shop - you can fill with your favourite glue. So handy. www.squeakerchimp.Etsy.com
I love informative tutorials, and this was a perfect one, to show a technique for torching the beads. They came out awesome, however, you used the word magazine, and then you didn't use the magazine. I really wish that I could find a tutorial on how to roll the magazines I'm not having much luck with it because they are very thin paper. You're an incredible artist. Thank you for sharing your video
The first bead I torched was out of magazines. Maybe I’ll do a tutorial on rolling them.
@@SqueakerChimp I would really appreciate that thank you you're the best
@@wittnessbe_judged8723 if you make sure you are subscribed to my channel then when I upload it you will get notified
I likw it but what is the size of paper??
I used magazine pages to the long length of that and about 1.8cm wide.
Absolutely stunning and thank you.
Thank you!!!!!
Can you please turn volume up next time!!
Is it not possible to turn it up on your computer?
Thank you for showing the casualty!
I always think it's important to show mistakes 😂 it happens
Yikes! I hope you have a fire extinguisher nearby. *Never* lay a torch on its side, especially with the still-warm nozzle touching paper--a *very* dangerous habit, indeed! Also, no one should hold a paper bead on a knitting needle--or other metal object--when applying a flame to it as the metal will act as a conductor. There should be some type of insulating material on the handle(s), such as the rubber grips on the pliers you are using. In general, it's not a good idea--at all--to direct a flame to paper on which an adhesive has been applied. Why would you do this? Can't you achieve the same effect with ink or paint?
Hi, thanks for your concern but as stated in the video I had safety measures in place. The torch nozzle was not hot and no one was in danger. The metal knitting needle did not get hot, the heat was not on it. I did not get burnt, if I did I would not have posted this video. The heat is on the bead for seconds, we are not trying to melt something like you would with glass. This is one method of adding a surface texture and colour to your beads. It’s not for everyone, I appreciate you watching and your thoughts.
