By Lisa Brooks


Have you tried making a paper bracelet? Well, if not then there is a guide into how you can do this with the shortest time possible. All that you will need will be that old sheet magazine, that old calendar or even that junk mail that you disposed of. From here, you can be in a position to make the best writing sheet bracelets and necklaces. Keep reading to know more about the paper beads.

Well as indicated above, you need to find the right supplies if you are to succeed in making this a success. Some of the obvious materials can be found in the house. You can take that old magazine and that old mail. If you do not have any of this roaming around your home, you can use the normal writing sheet or the hardcovers.

Secondly, after getting the writing sheet supplies, you will also need the sheet cutter and some other few things. Well, to begin with, you will have cut the writing sheet into strips. Here you can use the scissors or that sheet cutter. Get some glue and some toothpicks. With these in place then you are all set to begin making the beads.

Get the sheet magazine and cut them into strips. You will be required to cut the sheet into half or even into quarter pieces with regard to the size of the paper. Well, after you are done with this, cut the sheet into diagonal shapes so that you get that triangular shape from the strips. Proceed to the following step.

The other step will include rolling and applying glue. This is the most technical part of this whole project. The fact is that you have to make sure that you get the whole thing right before you may proceed. Take one toothpick and one sheet strip. Roll the wide need of the paper round the toothpick. Take the glue, apply on the remaining part of the writing sheet strip and make one rotation. Firmly roll the paper on the toothpick with your hand. Remove the toothpick.

Now you can seal the sheet. One thing with sheet is that when it comes into contact with water, then it gets spoil. You certainly do not want this. Get some nail polish and put it on the writing sheet. With this, it will act as a coating and if water comes into contact with a bead, then it will not do some real damage.

After this, leave them to dry and then proceed to string them. Stringing the beads will depend highly on the colors that you want to be on the bracelet or the necklace. Here, you can arrange them to your preferred style. Take the cord and put the beads through the toothpick hole.

You can also create several knots to help you tie the cord well. In addition, you have your bracelet. You can put it on and try the new look. If it is too fitting then you can adjust on the knots.
