I created these when i found that the inside of the plastic folders would break if you put too much in them. Being the packrat that i am, i did not want to get rid of them!! So i made what i always need... BEADS!

Find one of your plastic file folders from school. This should be one of the thicker ones so the beads are more solid.
Cut the folder into strips that are the size of the bead that you want.
Now roll the plastic and glue down the end with hot glue. Hold until the glue cool or dip it in water.
Now, take your hot glue gun and begin to cover the out side with the hot glue. Use a motion going back and forth for maximum coverage. As you cover the bead dip it into your cup of water to cool it down so you can touch it.
And...your done!! Please show you own versions if you make them. I would love for someone to improve on them!
