Paper Bead Making Grows Up!

Making paper beads is not just for children any more! The beads I make are really elegant and beautiful and some are also whimsical. These beads are meticulously made by hand and glazed one at a time. I have also made some of the beads with colored copy paper for a special look. I wanted to share with you what I have learned from trial and error about making beads from paper.

With this site you will be able to learn how to make them for yourself. There is a special program called the Paper Bead Designer you are free to use to design your paper beads. Also if you have your own images you want to use, there is an image upload utility which is also free to use. I hope you find this site informative and fun!

Allthough you may already know how to make paper beads, these beads are different and made differently. First off, you won't be using gift wrap or magazine pages. You will be using standard copy paper which is 8½" x 11" in size. The size of the beads will range from 1/4" to 1" in length and from 6, 7, 8, 8.5 or 9mm in diameter with an 1/16" hole.

There are instructions on this section for making standard paper beads with recycled paper but the beads I will explain in great detail are special. You can put photos or your favorite clipart on them. The possibilities for what you put on your beads are only limited to your imagination. You will also learn how to embellish your paper beads.
