I cut the strip of paper 1/4 inch at the base and 11 inches from a printer paper and wrote:  “Lord help me to remember that nothing is going to happen today that YOU and I cannot handle.”

Using the bamboo roller, I rolled it into a bead, small enough to fit into the prayer box.

It is a cool kind piece of jewelry, don’t you think?

It looks nice by itself or layered with another paper bead jewelry.

I have made rosaries with paper beads as well, this will be in future posts, like what Kayla is wearing above.

I love the little prayer box that can also hold mementos from some special time….
