And nine years later, I'm finding this, and loving it!

I found this video years ago and loved it. Been making beads ever since. I even hand painted some paper with watercolors and used that. I also went into Paint on my computer, put some random colors out there, printed it, and made beads with that.

This is so awesome. I am considered disabled due to having IBC (inflammatory breast cancer) and all that comes with having cancer and I need other things to do while not getting up and going to a job. This is one of the things I can do at home. I love your energy. I always smile and chuckle while watching any of your videos. Keep doing what you do. God bless.

Hi Lindsay! It's been 2 months since I wrote asking you for advice on the diff colors of UTEE and wow! exciting things are happening! A print shop here uses boxes of colored paper to print fliers, any rejects are tossed, I simply turn them over and cut my strips, lol. I double the length to compensate for the thin paper. I've saved my old scraps of card-stock, I use those, even mixing colors, a wide strip of one color for the first roll, another which I cut with pinking shears for texture. I detest paper waste, I want future generations to enjoy trees! Some of my UTEE colors all of which were gifted, are the solid clear, white and black, the metals - copper, gold, silver, bronze and so on as well as regular embossing powder which range in colors from summer fruits to a primary holiday palette .The paper can be any color really even old white typing paper. I have several ink colors too which I'm experimenting with. I also received my heat gun from my friend. My only expenses have been the bead cores, also $5.00, free shipping on ebay and they arrived in 5 days! wow! And I bought several colors of memory wire for $1.00 for 4.9 feet at walmart. I don't want to invest in chains and such until I'm sure of the person's preference I'm gifting to. My wonderful friend who gave me my 'treasures' was an avid crafter and now late in her 70's has decided to travel and didn't want the beautiful collection to be wasted. I know I'm rambling but I must thank you again for sharing your awesome talent, and I look forward to receiving mail from your blog, my life has become endless possibilities, who'd have known , right? Hugs!~~

I have made beads like this since 1962, but this is the first I have heard of "bead cores". To me, they look like eyelets on shoe laces. New trick for an old dog ;-)

I love watching your videos. It's great that you get right to the project and don't spend 5 minutes just talking before you start. Thanks for your projects. :-)

Omg...this is so amazing and no one would EVER know that these beads made from PAPER were not the real Pandora beads, which are like, so very expensive! LOVE this tutorial!

I've made paper beads since childhood but those bead cores really take it up a notch! 🙂 Nicely done!

thanks! I just dipped the bead back in the powder while it was hot so the new coat of powder stuck, if you wait too long you will need to add more ink:) They are water resistant, I wouldn't wear them in the tub LOL! When you glue in the bead core allow some glue to drip into the hole to seal the center of the bead and you will be all set:)

I used two 12" long strips for each bead, one was 1/2" wide and the other was 1/2" at one end and tapers to 1/16" roughly on the other:) roll the strait strip first then glue on the taper starting with the wide end.

Loved the tutorial. I just located it. I have been looking for a specific color in the European type beads and so far have not located them and since finding your tutorial on making paper beads I think I may have to try it. Thanks again.

Love it! Made paper beads for my mom in 5th grade and she loved them and still has them in a necklace

You are AWESOME! Your videos are clear, concise and complete...that, along with your upbeat personality, makes me feel like I can do it. I'm very depressed so for me to actually DO something rather than watch others says a LOT. Thank you...all your hard work is so appreciated!!!
