LACING BEADS

I was wondering if it is possible to make round beads out of paper. Elongated paper beads are the ones I know wherein strips of magazine pages are rolled on a stick. This article which I found on the net says it's possible:
How to Make Beautiful Beads From Recycled Newspaper by Pearl Sanborn, http://www.astorybooklife.com/how-to/paper-beads/ 

So, I followed the procedure. It was easy and fun; I did not only make round beads but also cubes, hearts, and triangles. I made them into toy lacing beads for my daughter to play with. Just like the fishing game, this helped her develop hand-eye coordination.




You can never tell these chunky beads are made from used bond papers. Lovely! (*-*)
