Just bead it: Paper beads an eco-friendly craft



By Laura Dimmit

news@joplinglobe.com

Creating paper beads is a craft activity that is suitable for all ages. It also happens to be a very eco-friendly project.

Old newspapers, magazines or discarded wrapping paper can be rescued from the trash and transformed into something new.

Jill Boswell, a staff member at the Joplin Public Library, said that paper beads can be used for anything a normal bead could be used for. Her suggestions include jewelry, decorations on gift tags, and for the ambitious, an entire beaded curtain.

She held a class in making paper beads this week at the library and shared the technique she uses to make them.

What you’ll need

Paper

Scissors

Elmer’s glue

Pencil

Clear nail polish or clear-drying glue (optional)

Instructions

• Step 1: Cut paper into 12-inch long, 1-inch wide strips.
