Last week we got a rad video in from Becca who taught us how to make these really cool bead necklaces using old magazines and newspapers. So this week we’re showing you how to make your own paper bead necklace with some old newspaper strips.

i like the newspaper ones better though but i kinda like the magazine ones!! (:
this is soooo cool! I’m gonna do this right now!!! *looks around* oh geez…. this is just the perfect time to run out of glue!!!!
omg…Ive done this technique like some years ago…we learnd it on my art class… hahaha but i like the newspaper oneees
The newspaper beads looked very great. I have some old books that will not sell back to HPB – I bet it will work just as well.
Colorful magazine pages…hmmm…HUGH HEFFNER and his PLAYBOY Centerfold Gorgeous Models are going to hate me for EVEN THINKING about what I’m thinking.
that was cool my daughter loves to make things with me so now him n i can try this thanks for sharing
Corinne I used to make these about 8 yrs ago!! I have a little kit for it with a big spinner thing and all.. I love your newspaper necklace!! Looked great!
lol I make beads out of rocks.
I always use a thin wooden kabob stick so as to make each one uniform in thickness & length, then paint them, but I do not make beads out of them, lol
When I used newspaper, sometimes I turned out blackish.
ajajaja pendejos!
i used orange financial times and white newpaper. I also used crosswords/sudoku, i liked numbers in the design. I also used a cotton bud as the plastic was smooth and I cut the last bud off.
This is so much straight forward and easier than the previous tutorials. I like both tuts, going to teach my nieces how to make necklaces, they will so love me, LOL.
@akissy all good mate glad you like the help!
i would go for the kids PVA if you can as this is guaranteed to dry clear,(u.k) if you have to get PVA wood glue dont for for the strong/ extra strength stuff this will dry yellowish
stay safe pip
@PiPphiltitley Oh! o.o Carpenter’s glue, I had never thought of that, mostly becuase my dad’s glue dries a pretty but not desirable creamy shade. but I’ll look for the one that dries clear, thanks so much for the tip! ^^
@akissy Hi, just read your comment mate, i thought the same and them PVA glue popped in my head. if you dont know of it by this name it is the glue most school children use in schools or PVA carpenters glue is sim but stronger, the glue is white but it dries clear and is water proof to. hope that helped mate.
PVA stands for Polyvinyl acetate.
stay safe pip
I experimented with hair spray to set them because my bracelet got torn when I used it without setting it. I hope it works, becuase I don’t kow where to find paperl glaze here in mexico XD
that’s is so wicked, I just about to get rid of some mags, but not now! Thank you bunches & I like beads very very much. MUAH!
@tilena211 you mean like varnish? I used clear nail polish.
@mishmashpie did you use paper glaze?
Hi
I promote recycling in the UK. I noticed that you don’t have a link in the description of your video and was wondering if you would place a link in there to one of my websites?
This is literally 30 secs work for you and I will send you $20 instantly via paypal once done.
I will also add your youtube link or website into about 500 article directories, so you will receive more traffic.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
John
