Paper Beads from Junk Scrap Mail - Measuring, cutting, rolling and glazing

[@MountainAirOrganicBeds]

Thank you for the video. I love how you teach us we can make beads out of advertisements. I feel so inspired.

[@SqueakerChimp]

You are so welcome!

[@BonnyAndClive]

Years ago I had the worst paper bead making addiction that you can imagine! Lol. You're making me feel like I'm going to fall of the wagon abd start making them again! Lol. Yours turned out lovely 😊💚

[@gwynhopkins3150]

I just came from a site on how to make paper beads, first time I have seen that done.

[@brendastaley3993]

Your instructions are wonderful. I've been thru TONS of videos to get great instructions on how to actual plan out the triangles b4 cutting! Thx much👍🏽

[@SqueakerChimp]

Glad it was helpful! And thank you for watching

[@noellemerry7136]

The beads you made are so beautiful, the colors are so rich and full of energy. I think Peter Pan had something to do with it and Tinkerbell dusted them with her magical fairy dust! Great video. Thanks!

[@SqueakerChimp]

What a lovely idea, thank you for watching and leaving such a lovely comment. Made my evening. X

[@connietreadway9460]

You have a very easy manner of teaching. I got a lot out of this as I have never tried bead rolling before. Definitely inspired now to give it a try. 😍

A new addiction! Thanks for the great tutorial.

You are very welcome

What a Lovely Art Product you’ve Cre8ed my dear, Stunning! ⭐️🤍⭐️ Just an FYI i’ve used Clear nail polish with sparkles in it & then the brush is already there no washing of a brush etc…Have a great day & greetings from Oregon USA. ✨🌎✨

[@SqueakerChimp]

Nail polish works great short term but depending on the quality is can crack or turn yellow over time. Thanks for watching and leaving such a lovely comment xxxxxc

[@purelightlove8888]

@@SqueakerChimp Good point, I was a nail artist for 17 years & I realized if exposed to sun light ongoing this can happen too ☀️ But I noticed that the residue on the side of the clear you were using had yellowed as well.

[@SqueakerChimp]

@@purelightlove8888 it’s fine for practice and it’s fine if you have nothing else. But some beads you might want to try something else.

[@irmar]

But the brush of nail polish is narrow (generally small) and a bit stiff, so it will be more laborious. Not to mention that even the cheapest nail polish with sparkles will come more expensive.

[@tieskeellis8531]

You are a crafter to my heart! Good tutorial, and so important always thinking about the environment and about not wasting materials! Thanks so much for that!

Thank you xxx

Très jolies perles. Bravo !

Merci

[@Dulceknits]

I learned so much watching this tutorial. You are indeed a gifted teacher about the paper beads art. I am teaching some neighborhood girls and they really enjoyed the process. The 10 year old took off using a skewer and what a pleasure it is to watch her little fingers roll the paper. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge ❤️👍🏼🥰

[@SqueakerChimp]

Thank you I am so glad you found it helpful

[@bonniefaltz9505]

Have made lots of paper beads in the past but have forgotten how to measure for them. Your tutoria is very helpful. LOL, I am rubbish with the metric system, but not so good with the measuring system here in the states either. Anyway, your video helpful to me to remember measuring to make paper beads from scratch.

[@SqueakerChimp]

Glad it was helpful!

[@earthmombooks]

I watched this once, loved it, you taught me things, and then I've let it run several more times just to listen. You do a great job

[@SqueakerChimp]

[@loralee1484]

I viewed several videos about making paper beads. Yours is the best one for me. I too had to cut the whole page before moving on to the next step! I am also about using a scissors.

[@themisfitowl2595]

Very beautiful! I came more to see how people glaze their beads as that's where I'm struggling with, and I really like the idea of adding glitter to the glaze! I think I'll try that!

[@SqueakerChimp]

Glad you found something useful

[@jeangemmel7895]

I love making the paper beads. I make cardboard handbags from repurposed cardboard and I make the beads for handles for the bags. I love doing this and I think it's so relaxing. Liked shared and subscribed xx Jean from Scotland

[@scherriedye8519]

[@SqueakerChimp]

Thank you x

[@CarynHopkins]

This video helped so much just to be able to actually understand how to cut properly. The way you teach is very easy to follow. I know I’ve said this but I’m so glad I found you. Thank you! I was a little confused when you were on the last layer and you would pick one of the beads laying down and brush it a few times then set it back down. Wasn’t sure why you did that? Great video!

[@SqueakerChimp]

I have no idea either 🤣 I’d have to watch it back. I was probably just cleaning some glaze of my brush. I hate to waste anything. So glad you found it useful and thank you for your kind words. X

[@olivehennings8770]

My first try was messed up. Glue got stuck on the skewer while drying. I know how to do it now. Thanks to u. U are wonderful. Going to try again👍

[@SqueakerChimp]

Less glue! Only on the end bit. You need surprisingly little glue to hold it. Keep trying xxx

Oh my, thank you so much for the 2 stick tip. Mine were just spinning on the one I was using. Ya think I could have figured that out. Smh. Lol.

[@SqueakerChimp]

My pleasure, I did the same till inspection hit me

[@dianadevlin3717]

These are so lovely. Just wondered why you don't use a core like some people do? I can't get cores right anyway so i prefer your method. Also, i wonder if instead of oasis i could used a polystyrène block?

[@SqueakerChimp]

I just use oasis because my mum had some. You can use anything. If you mean using a plastic straw in the middle of the bead and rolling around that, I don't do that for two reasons. 1 the home is too big and 2, you can not get plastic straws in the UK now. They are not eco friendly. Using as your bead walls are thick enough you will be fine.

[@dianadevlin3717]

@@SqueakerChimp by core i mean a roll of plain paper the same width as your bead paper. I don't really know why they do it, maybe to make the bead stronger?

[@user-dn9vd9xg9p]

How do you keep the glaze from drying and sticking to the picks that you let them dry on?

[@SqueakerChimp]

You glaze right up to it. Ideally the stick would not stick out one end, then you turn it over and do the other end

[@Yo23195]

Hola!! Cuánto demora en secar el barniz que le pusiste y con que limpias el pincel ?? Gracias

[@SqueakerChimp]

Hola, not long, about 45 mins to an hour between coats then leave for 24 hrs to dry fully. Wash the brush either water and soap. Very easy

[@Yo23195]

@@SqueakerChimp muchas gracias por responder 🙏

[@lunadancefusion]

I very much enjoyed your tutorial. Question; how much time do you recommend allowing the beads to dry from glazing?

[@SqueakerChimp]

Hi, it will depend on the glaze you use. But I would say 24hr should be fine

[@christagrant6321]

[@mariewitte9114]

I wish I had a "bead roller". I use coffee stir sticks or skewers. Hard to start. I never considered rolling 2 layers of paper. That will be great for pretty paper that is thin.

[@SqueakerChimp]

You can order one from my Etsy store - www.Squeakerchimp.Etsy.com

[@janinewoodhull3611]

I lost track, because it almost looked like there were some skipped sections, of how many layers of glaze you used. Do you remember how many layers of glaze you did on these? Thank you. I'm a new subbie. Incidentally, the name of your channel cracks me up. I have a cat that should be named Squeaker Chimp because she squeaks rather than meows, and rapid squeaks sound like a chimpanzee.

[@SqueakerChimp]

I probably did about two or three, that’s my usual amount. One thin coat then two thicker ones. Thanks for watching. My cat also makes weird noises. 😂🤣

How do you make it look so easy- so professional :0

[@betzaidatatacajigas7874]

When they are glazed, do they become waterproof?

[@SqueakerChimp]

I think it would be difficult to completely waterproof a paperbead, a tiny crack and water would get in. You could certainly wear them out in the rain no problem but I would wear them in the shower or bath.
