New Bamboo Rollers
We are continuously trying to improve the bamboo rollers, to make them more user friendly. Now, it comes with a full bottle of Diamond Glaze instead of the sampler ones, so you can make a lot of paper beads. It has a new locking mechanism that will keep the paper tightly in place.
Instructions are better explained with a video 🙂
The kit includes; 2 sets of bamboo rollers, strips of pre-cut magazine paper, a full bottle of Diamond Glaze (2 oz), and a brush.
Sample beads are attached to the handles, so you can see how your beads should look like 🙂
How To Make Paper Beads w/ a metal roller
There are several ways you can make paper beads, rolling paper with a metal roller (available for purchase from Aubrey’s Beads, just $12, sold as kit) is just one of them. I like using them because the holes is not as large compared to paper beads made on a dowel or a skewer. I had this specially made with a bamboo holder, you get a good grip of the roller this way. The materials you need are the following and for instructions, please watch the video.
Strips of old magazines cut into triangles
I am using Diamond Glaze to glue the paper and also as glaze/top coat. I like using Diamond Glaze because it gives it a glossy finish and it dries quickly.
Here is the how-to video:
Get inspired and make some beautiful paper beads.
