Put BICARBONATE OF SODA (used in baking) into the barrel then pour SUPER GLUE onto the BICARBONATE OF SODA until it's wet. It goes harder and stronger than glass in seconds. But firstly make sure the split pin is in the barrel and positioned correctly. You can thank me later lol. Take care👍😷👍
I have been looking for a tutorial on making your own and since I already had all the supplies I went ahead in making one . Taking it apart was a bit difficult I used a pair of small pliers and scratched up the top part , but was able to smooth it back out with some sandpaper. I had 3 different sizes of split pins so I poked a hole on the bottom of the holder put a drop of crazy glue on the wide side of the pin wrapped a thin strip of paper around it just enough where it still would fit in the holder and added another drop of glue before dropping it in and pulling the pin out on the other side and holding it thaught for a moment then I did the same thing to the top of the holder with a different size of pin before gluing both sides together that gives me 2 different size rollers in one . The third one, I filled up the cap of the pen with air dryer clay and stuck the pen in it . I'm planning on decoupaging the whole thing .
Just a tip for when you make beads from cereal boxes or cookie boxes- after you cut the strip, take your bead roller and run it along the length of your strip to ‘break-up’ or soften the cardboard. It really helps to soften the paper and makes a nicer bead.
I made mine tonight I poured wood glue in the pen portion and placed the cotter pin inside top portion and love it that you fits in hand great and the bead comes out lovely. Used 3 pieces of paper I copied from grandson child reader ! Thank you! ❤
I CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH. I have make dozens of bead rollers over the years, most of them with the medal pens you use, but I have used old ink pens and the bake clay, but Thank you for your wonderful idea of using the dried up markers. they are so much more comfortable then a ink pen to hold and roll. I have bought rollers, but they have then handles and the metal rollers are not long enough for the bigger beads. Again Thank You.
This is genius, making our own bead rollers without any fussing about and recycling our old pens. I just need to find longer cotter pins in various diameters in the Uk. Thank you so much for sharing 🤩🫶🥰
You are a Genius, this is so clever. I'm so glad I happened on your video. Like you I have dried up markers, all I need to do it get some cotter/split pins, then I will be making these, they will be great to use to teach kids to make paper beads. Thank You for sharing your time, and your talent with all of us.
YOU'RE A GENIUS, all the paper bead roller i got are short ones...a pack of 5 came with about the same half and 1 inch and was not going to buy more, now i will be able to make larger bead without my fingers hurting. thank you.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! Ty for sharing! I also have always endeavored to create thing’s from what I have on hand, mostly for financial reasons, but I find great satisfaction in doing so. This is very 007, in the best possible way. I love your enthusiasm and your laughter is beautiful to my ear’s! I look forward to finding your video for the glazing, as this has always been a struggle for me in creating beads of many different mediums. I can never have too many beads and will try your invention hopefully soon. 🙏🌻
It kills me to see online what ppl are charging for their bead rollers! Years ago I took one look at them & immediately saw they used cotter pins so down to the hardware shop I went and never looked back. I also get satisfaction from being able to diy things using stuff I have onhand.
What a clever idea. I made one with polymer clay and put one cotter pin on each end but I think that I like this idea even better! I love it! Thank you 🎉
Sooooo clever! I prefer the open ended cotter pins to the type you are using and I have made many bead rollers using it with old pens & markers. Never did I think to push the pin through the top of the marker! Genius. Thank you for sharing, even though I’m watching this two years later! ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
WOW thank you, thank you, thank you. i teach crafts at the seniors and mental health centres. now i can afford to teach bead making classes. here in canada the split pin is called a cotter pin. bought at hardware stores. as for your pens, take them apart, set aside the cap and outer case for another project. cover the ink filler with beads, glue on a decorative jewlery finding to seal the ink in and done.
Great idea! another way to make a grip handle for your bead roller is to use the crochet hook sleeves, they are made with a softer material so it makes it easier on the hands and fingers
Using a dried out marker to make a paper beading tool is an absolutely brilliant idea. I have a set of bead rollers that I purchased years ago but I wanted to get some now for my grandchild. Unfortunately they have gone way up in price. I love to recycle and reuse what is normally considered trash so your creation is perfect and solves my dilemma. Like yourself, I also keep dried out markers, pens and many other things since in my opinion you never know if you will find a use for something. I've seen several other tutorials on making beading tools but your idea is by far the best. I can't wait to get some cotter pins so I can make my own set. Thank you for sharing. 😊
This is so amazing. It's easy and quick. Thank u so much for sharing. I got some dried up pens and markers. I can't wait to make some bead rollers. Thank u sooo much. 🇿🇦
I have made rollers with split pins but I never thought of using the pens as a barrel for it. I have got them up to 5mm of diameter. Thanks for sharing.
Fascinating video. I’ve been watching videos on making paper beads and want to give it a try. I think your idea of making a bead roller is ingenious and I will try making one. Thanks for sharing.🌻
Wonderful, genius idea! I have dried up sharpies! I'm betting we can make this much faster than it takes to order it! A side note. The dried-up tips still have at least one use that I know of. I believe it is to make your own alcohol inks. There are videos on it. Not totally positive it's alcohol inks, but it is an ink and it was really simple. Oh yes, as I saw another commenter. In the US, the split pin is called a cotter pin.
You made my day!!! Thank you sooo much for sharing this video with us, you are pure genius!! I was breaking my head to find a way to make my personal paper bead roller and.....voilà!! I buyed the quilling ones, but they don't work as I would like to and I don't find in Amazon Italy what I am looking for. I started few days ago to make paper beads and I got the solution to this problem just today thanks to you. I am sorry for my English that is a little bit rusty, I hope I wrote everything in the correct way. Good bless you👍🧡🤗🌹🇪🇸🇮🇹 Subscribed and 👍
Thanks for your videos on making a beautiful bead roller. Now I can finish making my beads. What I have is hurting my hands. i have made so many and different colors now I got to start making things I am so excited thanks again have a good day and please. Please be careful.
I love this idea! I've watched others make them by drilling into wood and I don't want to go to all that trouble just to make some beads for me. This is so quick and easy! I'm going to the hardware store today and go through my markers for the drier ones. Thank you so much for showing us this.
What a great idea. I love making paper beads but they are a struggle as I've been using a 1/8 inch dowel rod. And I have 2 empty Sharpie pens so I will be trying your method. Thank you for such a great share.
Je kunt ook nog wat Hot Glue in de punt van de stift laten lopen om de splitpen vast te zetten, mocht deze mee gaan draaien. Dank voor het delen. L♥️ve from the Netherlands
Hi Sannie, wow thank you very much for sharing this video & this awesome idea, i've been searching for ways to make beads, that could be easier as i have odd but painful popping with my thumbs & Arthritis issues, but i enjoy creating my own beads, i am so excited about using this type of pins, i just now bought some on Amazon, as split pins they didn't pop up, they are called Cotter pins.
Thanks for showing this. Etsy is selling something that looks exactly like what you have made - 2 of them for $20. I will look for a thin tube to put my pin into and use gorilla glue to fill it up. Then I'm going to put it into my electric drill and roll beads by pulling a trigger.
Such a great idea! Thank you for sharing!Also I saw a video on Treasure Books page where she uses the inards of the dried up markers to make homemade alcohol inks!
They’re called Cotter Pins in the US they can be found at hardware store. I’ve got a temporary tool I’m interested in seeing if I can make a handle for mine
I took apart my sharpie and found the hole around the nib was more of a square. Too big a hole for my 3mm split pin. I’ll have to pour something in the barrel cap to keep the pin in place. I see you are using the champion brand. That might make the difference. Cool idea, though! Thanks!!
Keep saving those old dried up markers! You can make your own alcohol ink with them. Treasure Books has a really great tutorial on that! I have to raid my husbands workshop!!
Put BICARBONATE OF SODA (used in baking) into the barrel then pour SUPER GLUE onto the BICARBONATE OF SODA until it's wet. It goes harder and stronger than glass in seconds. But firstly make sure the split pin is in the barrel and positioned correctly. You can thank me later lol. Take care👍😷👍
What an awesome tip. Thanks so much for sharing. I will definitely give it a try
It also gets super hot can cause severe burns so be careful and also use a heat resistant work space
That's a great idea 🎉. I will hunt for markers. Thank you.
I'm going to give that a try also. You must be a chemist! LOL
Excellent idea! 👍🏼👏👏👏👏
In the US the split pin is called a "Cotter Pin". Great video! Thank you!!
❤💜❤💜
Thank you
Thank you! I’ve been trying to remember the name of that pin
They are also called split pin because that is what I asked for in HD, and they directed me there right away !
@@janice1131Cotter or split pin .

😂😂😂I stoped at 12:29 - about you keeping dead pens! I just looked in the drawer at my collection! You are not alone!💝😇💝
Here they're called Cutter Pins......loved your video!

Where do you find a cotter pin? What is that. TIA
I have just discovered how these beads are made and excited to start! Converting the marker barrel is fantatic. Yes, a game changer indeed!
Thanks so much.

In the US they are called "cotting pins." Found in hardware stores (ie stores that carry lumber, screws, nails, paint etc.)
That's right
Thank you for sharing your creativity and ideas with me.
