paper beads


All these beads were made out of ads from newspapers. Something I would normal toss after looking was turned into something I can wear! And I love that each bead you make is different… color, shape and size.









I strung them together with some embroidery floss. I made them long enough to fit over my head so I did not need a clasp.
Another trash-to-treasure success!

    1. Hello!
      The beads are made by cutting long thin triangles out of magazines and wrap it around a toothpick starting with the widest side of the triangle, gluing it as you wrap.
      Hope this helps!
