If you love making jewelry I have a fun craft for you today.  I’m going to show you how to make a Paper Bead Bracelet.  That’s right…. it’s a bracelet made out of paper.  With paper you actually make the beads that make up this bracelet.  Surprisingly enough….. by simply rolling paper and adding glue it creates a very strong and durable bead.  Choose your favorite color paper to make the beads and the result is a beautiful bracelet you will be proud to wear with your favorite outfit.  So, let’s get started.

Materials Needed

Colored paper

Scissors

Glue

Ruler

Pencil

Needle

Thread







 

Step 1

Using a ruler, on one edge of a rectangular piece of paper, mark points that are 1.5 inches apart… starting from the edge.







 


Step 2

On the other end of the paper, mark a point 0.8 inch away from the edge of the paper. Draw a second point 1.5 inches from this point. Mark a few more points, each 1.5 inch away from the last point. After you are done, draw lines joining the points on both ends as shown below.







 

Step 3

Cut along the lines to get long triangles as shown below.







 

Step 4

Fold the edge near the wide end of the triangle and start rolling it as tight as possible.







 

Step 5

Apply some glue to the end of the triangle and roll to form a bead as shown below.







 

Step 6

Make many beads as shown below and thread them together into a bracelet using a needle and thread.







 

Step 7

Wear the pretty bracelet around your wrist and show it off to all your friends.
