…..and everything nice.  It is fun finding interesting patterns in a scrapbook paper and you wonder how would this look like rolled into paper beads?  Smaller prints would show up best in the finished bead like this scrap booking paper with a lattice design.  For those of you who already mastered cutting the paper in triangles, you can skip the 2nd image.

The paper itself is 12 x12, the triangles are 1/2 inch at the base and 12 inches long.  You can make the base 3/4 of an inch or one inch, depending on the size of the bead you want.

Kayla used the metal roller in rolling the beads and it came out really nice.

And the fun part?  Putting them together.  I think it will look really nice with these dyed mother of pearl rings.  They are very inexpensive even if they are from  mother of pearl and they are available in your local craft stores or bead stores.

We’ll see how they will turn out as necklace.

  1. Hi Janice,
    Would you be able to tell
    me where I might be able to
    find that white glass dish with the
    sections in it to hold the paper beads
    That you use so often.
    Thanks
    Patti
