Go Green Recycled Paper Beads
With all this talk about going green, I decided to post this simple tutorial for making recycled paper beads. It's super-easy, and a lot of fun! (And a good way to reuse old comics and newspaper ads!) You could also use wrapping paper or magazines... Any colorful paper! :)

Step 1First, start cutting long strips of your paper. Don't make them too long!
-
Step 2Place the paper facing down on the side you want to show. Place your skewer or toothpick at the top of the paper and drizzle a bit of glue down the paper.
-
Step 3Start rolling the paper up. Roll slowly and smooth it out as you go along.
-
Step 4When you reach the end, smooth the edge. A bit of glue might squeeze out. Just secure the end and wipe it away.
-
Step 5Now slide the rolled paper off the skewer or toothpick.
-
Step 6Make a bunch of these!
-
Step 7Now let the beads dry for a couple of minutes. Maybe make yourself a sandwich. :)
-
Step 8Now string these beads onto cord or hemp.
-
Step 9String as many as you want and then tie a knot!
Tada! You now have a fancy new bracelet to wear around, and I guarantee people will stop you to ask about your cute little recycled bracelet! :)
