Roll your
own
beads
By ELLEN APPEL
Why not make beads
from scraps of paper? It's
easy, when your scraps are
decorative, high-quality
wallpaper, wrapping paper
or marbled art paper.
Aside from paper scraps,
little more than household
supplies are needed for the
project. White glue, acrylic
paint and clear acrylic
spray finish are the only
supplies you may have to
purchase.
The more paper scraps
you own, the more interest-
ing your beads will be.
After a while, you may
want to experiment with
magazine ads, color bro-
chures and catalog pages.
To make the, beads, you
simply roll a paper strip
asemel--a :ttin ft._
swizzle stick, skewer,
dowel or any other long,
skinny implement. By ap-
piying. _gine,, pant and
spray, you'll have brand-
new beads, ready for
stringing. .
