1. To make paper beads you need paper, scissors, glue, a pencil, a toothpick and your template. Print out the paper bead template to the size indicated (10.5 cm x 3 cm). Create a permanent template for easier tracing.
|
|
|
2. Use the template and trace triangles on the backside of your paper. For the bracelet you will need 5 or 6 beads depending on the size of your wrist.
|
|
|
3. Cut the triangles out.
|
|
|
4. Place glue on the backside of the first triangle.
|
|
|
5. Lay the toothpick at the bottom of the triangle on the glue and slowly start wrapping the paper around the toothpick.
|
|
|
6. While wrapping, keep the paper pulled tight and flat on the toothpick.
|
|

10. Cut the wire to the length you need and insert the beads on the wire. Add a pinch pearl to the wire and the fastener.
|
|
|
11. Take the end of the wire and insert it now again through the pinch pearl.
|
|
|
12. Use the pliers and squeeze the pinch pearl flat.
|
|
