Cutting up a Fabulous book of Brahms! Sacrilege!! Love the beads, but have you no respect for the World's famous composers?? Craft pales in comparison to their genius. Same applies to the great dress patterns of 20yrs ago - and BOOKS!! Some of us grew up with all those things - and gee, life was so much better back then.

[@TreasureBooks]

I agree that craft pales in comparison to their genius. However I am not cutting up the man or his compositions. I am cutting up paper that I found in the free section of the thrift store, along with other items that were going to be put in the bin in no-one picks it up. Not sure what I should do with it. Frame it? Sell it? Open a museum? I see there are a lot of them for sale on Ebay. Now with the great dress patterns of 20 years ago - that was the 2000s... I definitely don't see that as sacrilege. In terms of books - give your local library a call and ask how many books they destroy a year. Go to a thrift store and ask them. I was in an second hand shop just the other day, and the lady was taking books OFF the shelf. She said, "its so sad that no one is buying books anymore, and we have to get rid of books". I think they should give them out for free. But its 'against the policy'. So, what do they do? They throw them out as rubbish together with all the other stuff they can't sell. The books don't even get recycled! Now that is something I would get riled up about. And when was life better? When women couldn't vote? When their place was in the kitchen? At least they weren't cutting up a fabulous book of Brahms, I suppose.

​@TreasureBooks well said...but just ignor the haters...they are the first to jump on their " soap box" ( talk about stepping back in time lol)... at 75 I had problems tearing my first book page but as I get them the same way you do I feel they are being given a new lease on their life instead of it being destroyed.... keep up the great work..

[@poodlegirl55]

@@TreasureBooks LOL love your response, you didn't cut up the man. I have the complete opposite opinion from susane. When I make something cool out of a damaged old linen or a faling apart book I think I am saving it and giving it a new life.

[@joannsanders242]

@@TreasureBooksI have seen the same thing! Taking books off the shelves, tearing off the covers only to be trashed. When I asked why can’t they be donated or SOMETHING, they said they’re not allowed. It’s a shame!

Me too! Natasa you are my definite FAVOURITE! Plus I think your European roots contribute to the way your mind works, like being so pained to throw things away. I’ve gotten that through my Polish roots too. I’ve been like that my whole life. Instead of throwing things away, it’s, “what can I make out of this??” Only YOU have the magnificent talent to help me with that! THANK YOU!! For ALL your videos! And for you being YOU!

[@juliaarmato3984]

I have a large stash of paper beads, and many precut strips. Recently I made a basket out of my beads for my craft table to keep items in as I work on different projects. Looks pretty neat. Good to have creative things around you as you are planning new ideas. Maps also make cool beads. :)

[@diananighswonger441]

How do you make a basket with your paper beads?

[@juliaarmato3984]

@@diananighswonger441 I made square beads with flattened paper tubes. I wrapped them around the bottom of a squared nail polish bottle to keep the same in size. When dried, I used a piece of cardboard for the bottom, and hot glued them together, with spaces in between each square. Alternating spaces with each row. When I was finished with this, I used thin copper wire and hung small paper beads in each hole. It looks cool, but it was tedious and took a long time. Good luck. God bless.

[@lindakealey6946]

Beautiful! Thank you for reminding me about paper beads. I had necklace of multiple strands of paper beads over 60 years ago, so you are right - they are timeless! And sealing them with glitter nail polish is a great idea. You’ve inspired me to make some to decorate my journals. Thanks!

I just love making those paper beads Natasha! I’ll try the calendars. Excellent idea! I sew a lot and have made cloth beads with colorful scrapes. Sometimes I finish them off with embroidery thread and eyelash ribbon wrapped around, final touch ‘sparkle nail polish ‘ ps. Love your broken jewelry box!

I love the idea of embroidery thread and the eyelash ribbon. I did something like that in my fabric beads video :)

Hi. I loved watching you. I used to make paper beads many years ago. I had so much fun. When I started I was using just white paper and colored markers. Then I used glitter markers. Those were really pretty.i just fiddled around with paper and sizes and colored markers and gutter markers and I messed up alot but this craft isn't expensive. I remember when I made my first necklace. I was just thrilled. As for the jewelry ' I started buying jewelry bags at the thrift stores and Goodwill. You can use so many things off broken necklaces and bracelets. I had a ball one day's I went to a garage sale a few blocks from my house and she had these boxes full of jewelry. Alot of it was new but cheap but really pretty. These boxes were about 8 inches high, 10 inches wide and 8 inches deep and they were packed. Of course they were taped close and 40 dollars a box. Well I bought 1 and left and ent around the corner and opened it. The lady said that there was a little gold and silver in them. Well I figured they had been through. I did find some gold rings, earrings, necklaces, chains. I went back and purchased 4 more boxes for 20 dollars a piece. I still have boxes full in my room. Some time I might use them for something. There was beautiful beads in them. Clasps and different closures. I really loved your video and I've never made any long beads. You can buy a small paper roller but I did best with my fingers. Thank you so much for all your information and what beautiful. Work. God bless you.

[@paulinesteinbrink3568]

I just love this video and it has inspired me to make them again. I have made them before a few years ago and have been collecting papers to make them again. It is fun to make all the different shapes. One thing I found that if you put pva glue all along the paper strip that when it dries the bead is harder and feels less like paper. I also use modge podge to seal beads and then coat with the glitter fingernail polish. This makes a really hard bead. I love adding different colored glitter and combinations are as you say endless.

My grandmother taught me how to make paper beads 50 years ago. They were a popular craft of her youth, so they've been around for a long time. I think every generation is able to make it their own by using contemporary printed material--my grandmother used Sunday supplement newspaper to make her beads, so the colors were muted; while we have such high quality magazine, calendar and even junk mail paper and color printing now.

Hi Mrs. Natasha. Victoria from Riverside, IL~ Thank you for this Tutorial. I know this was a year ago… but it’s very helpful to me now.. 😃🌼 These paper beads can be used in all kinds of ways. But your ideas are so great! 🌻

[@updosystem]

As a beauty pro and artist...a tip to get a more intense glitter is to pour a little of your polish on a paper towel corner. The paper absorbs the clear part giving you a denser glitter. I like to use a tooth pick to apply.

[@lynettes6172]

Everything you demonstrate showcases your extrodinary creativity and each item has so many uses! There are no limits as to how many ways you have sparked my interest to try new ideas in a different way. Many, many thanks for sharing your imaginative genius wih us!

I once got a tablet of very gaudy glitter paper in a junk shop grab bag and I’ve held on to that tablet forever, perpetually moving it out of the way from one spot to another, from one shelf or drawer to another. Your video inspired me and NOW I have a project for its use: glittery beads to add onto holiday gift tags!!! Rolling it for beads totally changes the look of the paper from gaudy to WOW and the beads, once sealed, are gorgeous! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@TreasureBooks]

I totally agree!! And I am the same with my glitter pots, moving them from one place to another, never knowing what to do with it :)
