Welcome to the first Sugar Sugar, Project of The Month!
We're keeping it simple this month, to break you in gently...
January - Paper Beads by Marlene
Here's how...
Cut a strip of Design Paper approx 6" x 2/3" and cut both long sides from the middle to the end, to make a point
Then take a large needle or tooth pick and roll the paper along, starting from the widest [uncut] end.
before you reach the end, add some glue so it sticks to the bead when closed.. pull out the stick/needle and voila.. you got your own hand-made bead that is a perfect match to the papers you are using!
You can make different sizes of these too, or glaze them for longevity, to suit your own project.
These work great for all sorts of crafty projects, but also look stunning, attached to your cards.
Here's what The Sweeties did with their own 'Paper Beads'
Please click on the photographs to be taken to The Sweeties own blog's for more pictures and details of how they created their projects.
