Cutting up a Fabulous book of Brahms! Sacrilege!! Love the beads, but have you no respect for the World's famous composers?? Craft pales in comparison to their genius. Same applies to the great dress patterns of 20yrs ago - and BOOKS!! Some of us grew up with all those things - and gee, life was so much better back then.
I agree that craft pales in comparison to their genius. However I am not cutting up the man or his compositions. I am cutting up paper that I found in the free section of the thrift store, along with other items that were going to be put in the bin in no-one picks it up. Not sure what I should do with it. Frame it? Sell it? Open a museum? I see there are a lot of them for sale on Ebay. Now with the great dress patterns of 20 years ago - that was the 2000s... I definitely don't see that as sacrilege. In terms of books - give your local library a call and ask how many books they destroy a year. Go to a thrift store and ask them. I was in an second hand shop just the other day, and the lady was taking books OFF the shelf. She said, "its so sad that no one is buying books anymore, and we have to get rid of books". I think they should give them out for free. But its 'against the policy'. So, what do they do? They throw them out as rubbish together with all the other stuff they can't sell. The books don't even get recycled! Now that is something I would get riled up about. And when was life better? When women couldn't vote? When their place was in the kitchen? At least they weren't cutting up a fabulous book of Brahms, I suppose.
@TreasureBooks well said...but just ignor the haters...they are the first to jump on their " soap box" ( talk about stepping back in time lol)... at 75 I had problems tearing my first book page but as I get them the same way you do I feel they are being given a new lease on their life instead of it being destroyed.... keep up the great work..
@@TreasureBooks LOL love your response, you didn't cut up the man. I have the complete opposite opinion from susane. When I make something cool out of a damaged old linen or a faling apart book I think I am saving it and giving it a new life.
@@TreasureBooksI have seen the same thing! Taking books off the shelves, tearing off the covers only to be trashed. When I asked why can’t they be donated or SOMETHING, they said they’re not allowed. It’s a shame!
@susane945... serious? OMG go somewhere and read your books. I promise nobody is coming for your precious. I am simply appalled you would waste the time to post such a negative post. Just WOW
Fun! A tip is to wax or varnish the skewer first. They come off much easier.
Great tip! Thank you for sharing :)
Thanks for the tip. 😁
Thanks for the tip of 💗
I was JUST wondering if a bit of bees 🐝 wax would help ease the bead off the skewer, too. Thank you so much for sharing! 🥰
Thanks for the tip
I wanted to let you know, before I even watch this, that when I see a new Treasure Books videos on my list, I have an internal sigh of contentment because I know I'm about to enjoy whatever you've presented.
Awww thank you so much, this made me really happy :)
Me too!!!! I don’t want any interruptions! And all her videos show crafting made with simple things I already have! I love her! Rosie🦋
@@rosieandbriansteepleton1062 I love her also. And when she does a more detailed project - I love the little step-by -step list of instructions. Natasha you’re my fav!
Me too! Natasa you are my definite FAVOURITE! Plus I think your European roots contribute to the way your mind works, like being so pained to throw things away. I’ve gotten that through my Polish roots too. I’ve been like that my whole life. Instead of throwing things away, it’s, “what can I make out of this??” Only YOU have the magnificent talent to help me with that! THANK YOU!! For ALL your videos! And for you being YOU! (Sorry so sappy).
I love her voice, it's so soothing, and the ideas are always fabulous!
It's been a few years since I made paper beads.
Watching this has given me the "paper bead bug" again.
They are gorgeous!
Yes I've also got a paper bead bug again, after not making any for 5 years or so :)
Me too 😇
The bug is real 😊
Natasha! You blow my mind! I’ve collected old jewelry for years….. who would have dreamed I was sitting on a gold mine!! This video was such an eye opener for me. I love this idea, for key chains, for bookmarks,for hat bands, and on and on and on!! I love your brain!!❤❤❤
I have a large stash of paper beads, and many precut strips. Recently I made a basket out of my beads for my craft table to keep items in as I work on different projects. Looks pretty neat. Good to have creative things around you as you are planning new ideas. Maps also make cool beads. :)
How do you make a basket with your paper beads?
@@diananighswonger441 I made square beads with flattened paper tubes. I wrapped them around the bottom of a squared nail polish bottle to keep the same in size. When dried, I used a piece of cardboard for the bottom, and hot glued them together, with spaces in between each square. Alternating spaces with each row. When I was finished with this, I used thin copper wire and hung small paper beads in each hole. It looks cool, but it was tedious and took a long time. Good luck. God bless.
Thank you for explaining. I just found this email. I don't usually look in my Gmail one. Bless u. Merry Christmas.
@@diananighswonger441 Merry Christmas!!
Thank you for your informative video. Can I use this with fabric
I especially love the beads being threaded onto pieces of fabric, lace and ribbon. That way I would place them on anything. Especially on jars.
The jar is a great idea
*I love collecting cheap costume jewelry from thrift stores for stuff like this and for making earrings. Thank you somuch for sharing with us.*
I’m 60 years old and I used to make them as a child and sell them at a flea market. So fun to remember. Thank you!
Beautiful! Thank you for reminding me about paper beads. I had necklace of multiple strands of paper beads over 60 years ago, so you are right - they are timeless! And sealing them with glitter nail polish is a great idea. You’ve inspired me to make some to decorate my journals. Thanks!
60 years ago!!!! And here I am saying that people were making them 10 years ago hahah
Love all your ideas! Love the thorough explanations of how to do the project and that you even show things that don't work. There are lessons even in that. You have teaching in your bones! ❣
Thanks so much Rosanne!
You have a 2017 calendar because you are a craft’s person! We never throw good stuff out! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
So true!
I used to make these with my grandmother when I was a child! It was 1978... My favorite babysitting date with her! 💕 😇
I only started making paper beads last winter. I love them too. I used glitter polish from the dollar store and it works great. I'm very glad you did this video because you always have such fresh new ideas. Glad you are feeling better and hope you are back to 100% quickly. Thanks Natasha. 💕
Thank you so much :)
Paper beading is addictive
I just love making those paper beads Natasha! I’ll try the calendars. Excellent idea! I sew a lot and have made cloth beads with colorful scrapes. Sometimes I finish them off with embroidery thread and eyelash ribbon wrapped around, final touch ‘sparkle nail polish ‘ ps. Love your broken jewelry box!
I love the idea of embroidery thread and the eyelash ribbon. I did something like that in my fabric beads video :)
Best paper bead instruction I’ve seen. 2023❤️
Love this video and your projects! Especially love the paper beads on your journal spines!
Thank you 🤗
I made beads like this when I was a child in the 1950s. I love them. Adding the sparkles is a good idea too.
I made paper beads years ago with my class of 8th graders to show recycling. I wish I thought to turn them into book bag charms. Love the ideas you shared. I'm going to be traveling soon and will take a small supply box to make some on the way! Thank you for another fabulous video!
I thought they'd be great for travelling too.
I wanted to make some beads but was going to look on here how to do it. Thanks for showing us. I would rather learn from you !! I so enjoy watching you !! You are a great teacher & you make me chuckle at times !!!
I was looking for a new hobby. I've made them before. Now I know what I can do to keep busy. Thanks for the ideas. I was trying to think of something simple to do. Now I know. I have lots of paper.
Awesome!! Have fun 😊
You should
I remember making paper beads this way when I was a child, and I’m just as enthralled by it nearly 60 years on !! Thank you for reminding me of this lovely craft 😊x
I remember making paper beads years ago ..and using them to make necklaces. It's so much fun to use different papers, wall paper , and things you show. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you for watching :)
Great idea and tutorial. I love recycling old bits and bobs to give them a new life. It's like reincarnation for the crafting world! x
Best tutorial I've seen for making paper beads. They're fabulous
Thanks so much 😊
I think you are so remarkably creative. I have never tried making beads because I always thought that it would be very difficult but you have explained it so well. Thank you for your top notch explanations and how tos for the somewhat creatively challenged. As always I am amazed by your talent as well as your very down to earth personality.. Many thanks!
Thank you so much Janice! 😊
I love everything you made. I am inspired. The beads are so pretty, and I love the use of the old jewelry. I have all these things, even an old calendar, now I must get busy. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much! Have fun :)
I remember when I got a paper bead making kit as a child… you have definitely given me the paper bead making bug. I have to get back to this asap.
I was in a bad mood.....but watching this video in the morning made my day...... thank you❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this video. I used to make paper beads maybe 30 years ago. But I had totally forgot how and I am so excited to be using calendar pages as I'm always collecting calendars. I'm not a glitter person but I think I will put fingernail polish on them because I like that look of being finished. I do have Micah spray that I make and I might try spraying that on them also. I'm so excited to give this a try and we'll take you on Instagram when I do
Wonderful! Have fun Judie :)
Just when I thought I had had enough of making paper beads for now. Here we go again! As always, thank you for the inspiration.
Thank you so much :)
I made such beads and really enjoyed decorating them with nail polish
Thank you for the tip
There is no end to your imagination and talent. thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you! Cheers!
When I first discovered you a year ago, the fabric bead tutorial was one of my favorites!! This one is awesome..I love the calendar idea!! Your beaded spine journal was very intimidating as it was only my third time in creating a book. Absolutely love the serenity of bead making and thank you bunches for sharing the new techniques and embellishment ideas!!🥰
I'm glad you like it :) thank you for watching :)
Glad you are feeling better. These beads are so beautiful. I’ve never actually made paper beads. I’m definitely gonna give it a go though. Thank you so much for teaching this. As always I love watching your videos and listening to your calming voice.
Thank you so much Heather :)
I’ve made some paper beads but I never really used them for anything. Now you have given me loads of ideas!!!
I love her ideas indeed. Been making paper beads but haven’t done anything with them yet
Love love love these beads. I’m already in search of scraps and colorful calandres….!!!!!!!!!
Have fun Janie!!
Definitely please continue to do more paper beads. It's my first time to make these treasures and as always, thanks for the inspiration Natasha. -Dave from the Philippines 💙
Thank you so much Dave!
Amazing u r sooooo talented I just love everything u make and these beads will be a great addition for junk journaling! These paper beads would go perfectly with the paper tassels u made before!!!!!🤩
Yes!! Thank you for watching 😊
Your Mum made the cover?!? I can see where you get your talent from! It’s absolutely beautiful! 😍
I'm feeling inspired about the long beads! Very pretty. Thanks
Thank you, I had seen this done one time and just thought about making some myself this morning. You're video was the first one to pop up. I'm excited to get started. Thanks again for sharing your technique. Get well soon!
Thank you 😊 Have fun!!
Hello Natasa, haven't made these in years, got a kit many moons ago it was fun. Love your big paper beads they are beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Denise!!
My grandmother taught me how to make paper beads 50 years ago. They were a popular craft of her youth, so they've been around for a long time. I think every generation is able to make it their own by using contemporary printed material--my grandmother used Sunday supplement newspaper to make her beads, so the colors were muted; while we have such high quality magazine, calendar and even junk mail paper and color printing now.
I made paper beads many years ago with no thought in my head on what to do with them! I made them because I could. Lol. So now I am making them again. I’ve been using old calendars for about 30 years now to make envelopes. I always have a plethora of them. But now I know I can save the scrap pieces for beads. Thanks for making this tutorial.
Wonderful! We can use those beads for so much more than necklaces and earrings (which personally I would never make or wear) but they look wonderful as "book jewellery"
I never knew how easy these could be to make...of course you make it look easy😉Going to give them a try, Natasa! Thanks! So glad you
are feeling better.
Thank you so much :)
Hi, Natasa Hope you are feeling better!🥰
This is a first paper bead making for me and I can’t wait to create them! Such a cool idea! Thank you for your inspiration! You are so much fun. 💗💗💗
Oh you are going to have so much fun!!!! Thank you for watching :)
I’ve been busy tonight rolling these out!! Wish I could post a pic for you to see. 25-30 of them! Thanks!!
That is awesome!
Hi. I loved watching you. I used to make paper beads many years ago. I had so much fun. When I started I was using just white paper and colored markers. Then I used glitter markers. Those were really pretty.i just fiddled around with paper and sizes and colored markers and gutter markers and I messed up alot but this craft isn't expensive. I remember when I made my first necklace. I was just thrilled. As for the jewelry ' I started buying jewelry bags at the thrift stores and Goodwill. You can use so many things off broken necklaces and bracelets. I had a ball one day's I went to a garage sale a few blocks from my house and she had these boxes full of jewelry. Alot of it was new but cheap but really pretty. These boxes were about 8 inches high, 10 inches wide and 8 inches deep and they were packed. Of course they were taped close and 40 dollars a box. Well I bought 1 and left and ent around the corner and opened it. The lady said that there was a little gold and silver in them. Well I figured they had been through. I did find some gold rings, earrings, necklaces, chains. I went back and purchased 4 more boxes for 20 dollars a piece. I still have boxes full in my room. Some time I might use them for something. There was beautiful beads in them. Clasps and different closures. I really loved your video and I've never made any long beads. You can buy a small paper roller but I did best with my fingers. Thank you so much for all your information and what beautiful. Work. God bless you.
Oh my gosh, I used to have a bead roller and used to make bunches and bunches of beads... how did I forget about the beads? Aannnndd... you're using calendar pages... 'member I asked you what to do with my calendar pages? Here it's is! Woman, you rock! Hugs from the southern California desert, MK ❤ 😁 🏜 🤗
Haha! Love it!! Now I have to think of more uses for calendar pages!
God bless everything you touch sweetie
Don’t pay any attention to the negative
You are adorable in all your repurpose.
Making these beads becomes an addiction! I’ve made about 200 just sitting and watching tv in the evening…love this idea! Thank you!
Wow you are VERY productive!!!
I haven’t made these in such a long time. I love your super long beads. I see my future for the next 2 days 😊 tfs!
Haha thank you Susie! Have fun 😊
What I cannot withstand is the amount. Show me how to make one little cute thing and I am delighted. But show me a whole box of those little treasures and that’s it, I am ready to roll. This channel is sooooooo good at it (i.e. at making me roll), the author has a production manager’s talent. Foam working station + paper clip instrument - an extremely valuable idea. I want to go shop for cheap nail polish now and see if I have calendars from 2017 😊. But I wish the labels on those transparent storage containers in the video were as beautiful as on junk journals. DIY labels, especially removable (from label holders), is my all-time favorite topic.
I’m 62 years old and I too made these beads when I was very young - 12 years. That’s 50 years ago. Thx for the trip down memory lane. I’ll be seeking calendar pages!!
I know, I'm silly for saying 10 years. Someone commented that they were made in the Victorian era!
U can use a tiny bit of nail polish remover in the bottle of too thick polish, shake it up REALLY good and it will thin it out. And I want to tell you how much I enjoy your videos !!! So much info and enough info to make it look sooo easy too. Thank you for all u do for us.
Thank you for inspiring me - sending love and prayers from eastern North Carolina :)
Thank you so much!
I just started making paper beads because I happened upon one of your videos about how to do them. I'm addicted!
I'm so glad! The best addiction to have!!
Gorgeous lady ❤❤❤ im SOOOO happy to see your amazing paper beads !!!!!❤❤❤❤
I LOVE THE WAY YOU RESPONDED, YOU AND I ARE THOUGHTFUL OF SAVING THESE PAPER CRAFTS !!!!! KEEP ON MOVING FORWARD TO ANOTHER GREAT PAPER TUTORIAL ❤❤❤❤ LOVE IT.
HATERS ARE HATERS ❤❤❤❤
I ESPECIALLY WAS GONNA TEXT THAT ONE PERSON .I SAID NOT !!!! I'M NOT WASTING MY TIME ON HER.❤❤❤❤NOR ANYONE ELSE--- HATERS
It's been years for me too ... but I think it's high time to start again. It is an addictive craft. I keep my old calendars also. lol
One way of making your life easier when using glitter is to have a cheap fluffy makeup brush. Dip it on the glitter and sprinkle over the piece using some parchment paper on the table, fold the paper and put the leftovers back on the container. If you fancy, put the leftover on another container and start making a mixed blend for fun! A cheap fan brush can help clean the desk too, as it has long spaced brissels it won't keep many glitter in between. I just got a cheap makeup kit on Daiso to use for random craft and it is wonderfully useful for a lot of stuff.
I love this video I'm an old senoir crafter..40 yrs of crafting but never knew this. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Can't wait to create many beads
Oh, well I’m so glad of being of help!!! Thank you for watching 😊
Oh my gosh! When you pull out the earrings at 24:30, I used to have a pair of those! In gold and in copper. I repurposed both into purse charms I sold a few years back. Lol.
*I absolutely Love the Calendar ideas & I save All my Calendars. Now I know why I have saved them. 🤣😂🤣 This is a fantastic video!!! This is new to me & I'm excited to get started.... Thank you!!! 😊😊😊* Sharon in SC
I’m so glad! Thank you 😊
В далёких 80х мы мастерили из таких бусин занавески дверные)))о боже,как это было давно,ностальгия.
Haha that would look great :)
@@TreasureBooks в те,далёкие,смотрелось прелестно)))
I have seen beautiful paper beads before, and immediately thought it was way too difficult and time consuming to be bothered with. But now, after watching you...I can do this! Thank you.
That is so perfect for my daughters and I to do together on rainy days. They are into the Boho effect now in their lives and this is a great addition to that kind of creativity. Thank you again for the inspiration. Maybe bedside lamps with beads as trim and ribbons... Love ALL of your beautiful skills and kindness for sharing it with us.
I love the smell of Nail polish!!! I know it's not healthy, but I can't resist. I love it.
Your Beads are amazing. Really really beautiful.
Lovely beads and they look so difficult but they aren't, how wonderful they are. Thank you for this video, I love the way you teach projects!
Thanks so much 😊
The first picture that you start with it's form my country Morocco I love you your art❤
Natasha, thank you for your videos and for encouraging us to use what we have to create beautiful things. Please don't stop creating and sharing with us!
Thank you do very much 🙏
I wore a paper bead bracelet last week! I will make some using calendar pages-great idea!
Yes, paper beads will never go out of style 👍 yours turned out great and motivated me to go look at my jewelry stash and get out my stash of paper beads. Love all your videos so inspiring❤️
Natasha, I LOVE all of your bead projects. You are so talented. Anything goes together and looks great after your touches. Love all of your talents.
Hi Natasha, thanks for bringing the ideas back. I have a lot of paper beads. They are just stored away. Have a lovely day. Bye for now seen
How grateful is to have you! Your imagination goes and goes...it is really endless and enjoyable to watch your videos. One more time, you, Nathasa are awesome! Those beads are so beautiful and easy to make for sharing even as a simple key chain ring 😍I'm in love with them and the easy way to do. Thanks for sharing 🥰!!!
these would make beautiful bead curtains
I love your videos and i agree so good to save books that will end up in the trash anyway!! ❤❤ giving them new life thru art
Honestly the uneven cut one would look so cool with tiny applique designs around the round the flat part. Like clay.
Natasha you are the best! Love your paper beads. Calendar pages are a great idea. I still make paper beads. The technique is so very versatile and the beads are stunning. I love that they are very lightweight. Thank you for this great explanation and demo.
Lovely, lovely work and YES I shall be making paper beads again. Good idea to use sparkly nail varnish. Try threading some onto your ballpoint pen refills to make fancy pens to go with the journal.
I love how you used the paper beads! I’ve never made any because I had no idea how to use them. I love the nail polish and glitter effect! Another project for me on the bucket list!
I loved watching this. I made these as a child, this makes me want to make some of these with my kiddos. Yours have turned out beautifully and they look amazing on your journals. You have a true gift for piecing things together and elevating them to the next level. After this video, I’m heading over to watch your fabric bead video
Thank you for sharing your talent and the inspiration you give with your videos. You are so lucky to have items where your father and mother have also worked on them. What lovely keepsakes to have. Enjoy your day! Catherine
Another simply glorious video, love the paper beads love the sparkle thanks again!!!!!
I immediately took out my stuff and made a couple 😆 It is such a nice thing to do to keep your hands buisy. Especially if you do the "boring" cutting first and then just roll them. Thank you so much for this reminder!
I did wonder how those beads were made, so grateful for your demo. Thanks Natasha❤
These long beads would also make great xmas decorations! Especially if you're like me, and you have a (small) tree with only homemade decorations. 🖤.
And I was also thinking these long ones are a great project to do in winter. Make loads and loads and when it's spring, turn them into a fly curtain! The glitter will help keep insects out too!
I've never tried making paper beads before, even though it's something I'd like to do, but I'm definitely going to make some now after watching this fab video. They are just so beautiful, quite different to others I've seen previously, and such an inspiration. I love the use of glitter nail polish too. They are so luxurious. I'm excited! :)
Natasha, another great video! You are a very good instructor and explain things so well! This is a great project!!! Thank you for all your inspiration! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing this very useful video Natasha! This beads are so beautiful! I’m definitely going to make some. I also have so many old calendars 🙂🙂
I spent most of the day yesterday making some beads ❤️. Now off to the dollar store to get some glitter polish!
My grandpa used to make paper bead necklaces for us when we were kids; I've made lots of beads myself but I never thought of using glitter nail polish on them, great idea!
I love these!! I can’t wait to try to make some of these beads. I have old nail polish and I am going to try to use them on beads. Hope you feel much better soon. Thank you for sharing these with us!
Absolutely beautiful beads. No worries about the year of calendars. I’ve got some from 1990! 🤭Wonderful ideas other than tags 🏷 and pockets in journals. Love ❤️ this video. Hugs 🤗 DarvaDee USA 🇺🇸
Thank you Natasha for this lovely video. I haven't made beads for years but going to try again 💕
I’m inspired- once again by one of your tutorials! About a year ago I made some paper beads and used Diamond Glaze on them. I love the glitter nail polish with extra glitter. And I I’ve how you made the tassels with eyelash trim and a varied supply of lace, string, and chain. Ive also watched a video where another artist wrapped the eyelash trim around the bead. Thanks for another great and motivating tutorial.
I just found my stash of paper beads and roller yesterday! Watching you makes me want to get it out and make more!
beautiful beads... love them. And the drying station is so funny cool
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi Mrs. Natasha. Victoria from Riverside, IL~ Thank you for this Tutorial. I know this was a year ago… but it’s very helpful to me now.. 😃🌼 These paper beads can be used in all kinds of ways. But your ideas are so great! 🌻
