Sent my entry for Stringing Magazine's "Let's Go to the Movies" contest. The necklace I designed used paper beads I made from the movie section of the Washington Post. I used Mod Podge and Glossy Accents to seal and lacquer the beads. The necklace has red bicone glass beads, grey oval glass beads, and white seed pearls.
This is the first time I tried to make my own beads and I am hooked on making beads from paper. I used a paper bead roller tool invented by Vicki (Dehne) Griffith. The tool makes this very easy. There is a slot to slide one end of the paper and in no time you are rolling paper beads like a pro! Makes for an unusual bead and just as beautiful as any gemstone or glass bead.
