I love making paper beads. I've been doing this for years now.
I love that you do everything in real time not edited like many other people. We really love seeing the whole process.
Thanks Suzette! :)
@@ThePaperOutpost i agree with her. Where do you find your different papers? Thanks.😊
These are always great fun to make, I often paint them with metallic or glitter nail polish which makes them more rigid and gives them a 'clatter' sound when used in dangles.
The universe teaches us always! LOL! Sometimes we just don’t get it,so it must teach us over and over! I am a slow learner! 😢I love paper beads. I coat them with fingernail polish, clear or glitter to make sure they hold up. ☺️ Pam all your beads turned out so beautiful. My favorites are the music paper with the gold. The gold set them off nicely. Adding words is cool too! Sonny, my girl Bayley, used to lay on my feet while I would craft and she would wake up covered is paper bits and glitter! I miss her a lot but have a puppy named Maggie. I am hoping she will outgrow the puppy stage soon and stop eating my crafts! I really love having a craft buddy! 🐩🐩🐩
If you take some eyelash trim and wrap it around the paper bead it looks really cool too!
I loved making these.
I used some sparkling nail polish to jazz them up a bit.
They turned out really cute
I've found that $1 gel polish is a fabulous substitute for stickles/glitter glue
I love this idea, so will my granddaughter ❤😊. ( love your dog talk😊).
I've never tried these kind of paper beads. I'm going to make some. Thx for video.

A glittered Sunny....oh my!!!!!!! That would make a cute shirt!!!!!! These beads are a great idea!!!!!! Fun for everyone!!!!!!!
My mom in law used to make them out of shelf paper n doilies. Fun
Now that is an idea I would’ve never thought of! Thank god for our creative crafters like Pam to keep things interesting and new ❤
Like making these when don't want to think too much, any small scraps will do. Particularly like those music paper ones. Old xmas wrapping paper works well and can be turned into tree decorations, paperclip danglers to add to gifts for extra bit of oomph and xmas earring danglers too, imaginations the limit really.
Big hugs to you and the family Pam, love from Victoria in England xxx😘👍🇬🇧
A quilling tool would work wonders for this great idea. They are slotted so the paper slides in place while you twirl. Thanks for sharing 😊
I just got a set of quilling tools for this reason... perfect tool
@@brookep8799 where would I find them
I watch someone who used a kotter key hope any one that reads this nos what a kotter key is
Good morning everyone! Great scrap busting idea. Have many off cuts that are too pretty to throw it. Perfect project to use them up! 💕 Thank you Pam and fam! 💗
Hi Robyn, sorry iv not emailed, iv not been well hi sugar with diabetes kind of gastro left me exhausted xxx
Hi SP, wondered where you were? Strange that, I've had a funny tum too this past week! Take care crafty sis, love n hugs across the miles, Victoria in England 😘🇬🇧
@@sweetpeascraftingintheburb4462 hugs 💕
@@michellejanossy8186 right back at you Robyn xxxx sp
Thanks, Pam. This should keep me busy for awhile.
Hey Pam...I love making these paper beads.I use tooth picks to roll mine and then I use a egg carton upsidedown to let the beads dry after putting a coat of midge podge on them❤️
These beads are adorable! Thanks, Pam. I am glad you are okay after the hurricane. Take care.
I love this! I do STEM with kids and a favorite project is similar to this. Dowel Designs use sheets of newspaper. You cut 2” pieces of straws, tape a corner of the newspaper to the straw piece and roll diagonally. You’re left with one corner to tape or glue closed. Then the kids build structures using the dowels. I can see using coffee stirrers cut in small lengths and masking tape to get the beads started. You can just leave the coffee stirrer inside.
Lorie, I follow a UA-camrs who use this method to roll papers. She got my attention cuz she uses the rolled paper tubes like straw. She weaves them into beautiful woven pieces. My favorite is a round basket purse. She also makes a lot of desk organizers, It's definitely a great book page craft!
@@La1Senora do you remember the UA-camr’s name?
Good place to use pretty washi tape iv been hoarding don’t even know why Lol Thank you Pam for sharing your talents with us that have no imagination 😊
You and Sunshine are so cute! Spreading glitter all over me....feeling festive!
I sat down and made half a dozen with faux leather. Turned out well. Now will scrounge up other papers to try. I never would have thought of putting metal hole "covers" on the ends. So cool!
Thanks for sharing, loved it!🤗🌻🥰
guess what i will be making today 🤣🤣 i really like the idea of adding the words - that i have not done before - thank you Pam and kisses to Sunny xx
Pam, paper beads make wonderful necklaces. So much fun for little kids to make and they are so proud to wear their paper necklaces. This is very clever for junk journals also.
Sitting inside my craft room with a storm brewing outside, I think I will be making these gorgeous little beads for some time yet! Thank you, hello from Australia
So easy. Those make great danglies for anr craft project.
Hello Pam & Sunshine, enjoyed watching. I remember making paper bead garland's for Christmas with my Mom & Brother, such a wonderful memory, thanks for that.
These are so fun! Can’t wait to sit down and make these.😀
You can also use knitting needles to make beads. And if you have round chop sticks you can also use those.
Paper beads look good on the golden book spine thanks Pam
I use fingernail polish to seal mine. The sparkly ones are great.
These beads are terrific!
I’m glad things are beginning to normalize at the Paper Outpost after the hurricane, and I’m glad you weren’t hit terribly hard. I would have been under the bed with a pillow over my head. 😅
Thanks for the reminder. Have a super fantastic day 💗 Sherry
These are great, I especially like the word beads!
Cotter pins from the hardware store work great. They have the slit and they come in many sizes. I got the 1/8 and the 3/16 size.
You are a Wizard!
Such a great idea..
Luv luv luv the one with THOUGHTS
You have many great ideas I've never seen before. I have seen using eyelets. But not inking ends, gilding ends, sanding ends, painting designs, Nuevo drops, and adding words. And music paper too. I like using squewer cuz you can leave them on and glaze (or whatever finish you use) all at 1X!!! I often use Diamond Glaze. I'm definitely going to do them like you do. Great ideas!!! Thank you Pam.

Just watched this on IG . And now here, making beads here at my house with you!
You have helped inspire me so much with junk journaling. I especially love how you sew in your signatures. I don’t know how to sew on a sewing machine so that helped me tremendously. Love the earrings!!
Pam withdrawal is real! This is a fun way to use up scraps!
These are adorable. Thanks Pam!
I have been using toothpicks to wrap paper around to make beads. I also use a piece of styrofoam from packaging to push the toothpicks in to let the beads dry while I work on more. I love your idea of using the coloring book pages for the paper beads. Now I am going to pull out my coloring books from my stash! Thank you!
I like when the beads have a tapered piece at the end. I have made any yet but prob will try tonight. Really enjoy your vids
I like making paper beads,i have a basket full of never ending bits from when i scrapbooked,good fun,you make me laugh with your vintage ink! I bet you have dozens of other coloured inks you never reach for,dont we all.havent caught up with you for ages so been nice one,glad you are all safe in your household,must have been a scary experience Lizzie xx
So true!!!Guilty !
Awesome idea! I’ll be sharing with my granddaughters! Thank you!!
Thank-you for the idea, and your thoughts ! Enjoy the journey . Love it .
Thanks Pam! This was fun!
I use either clear/clear with fine glitter nail polish to seal or clear emboss. Pretty finished touch. Going to add ink and gilding ends now, thanks!
Beads in a new'ish way, how perfect!
..but that is, just you, Pam 💗
SunBuns, such a cutie...now with glitter & sparkles!
hello from Denmark 🌸🌱
I love your creative mind! I wish I knew where to get some old papers, like ledgers or journals!
These are so awesome. I just made a bunch of them in no time at all. :) Thank you for the video. Have a great day.
Great video Pam! I just made some! Thank you!!!!!💜
Well hello miss pam and holly and sunshine and leonardo and happy xoxo I think il make these today so cute love you all
Replay....I love making paper beads. But......yours always look so much more exciting...lol.
Wow haven’t made these in years ! Love it! And want to try the eyelet idea! Thanks for the inspiration! Glad you are all ok !
These are so cute love them and guess what I have in my kitchen drawer yes skewers lol so I will be making me some thanks for sharing
I would luv to see how to hang them on dangles in another video Pam!💜
Another fun idea!!! Soooo stinkin cute!!🐞
These are great! Going to make sime ASAP! Thanks
Beautiful and such an instant gratification crafty bit! I love that that bead wanted to stay on the skewer. I'm sure mine would try to stay there forever!🤪
LOLOL :)
Good morning Pam and Sunshine! I was so afraid that you weren’t going to use the liquid pearls but I sighed when you brought them out. Love the ideas!
You're so funny.🤣 This one is pretty, easy, and inexpensive. Tfs. 🤗🥰
I haven't made these for a couple years. Time to use up some scrap strips. I have used the whole length of the paper if it was thinner, but will have to try shorter pieces like you did. I also go one step further and coat mine with Polyacrylic Minwax. That makes them sturdy and last, especially if one is carrying the book (or charms made from these) around. Love them all. ♥
I would suggest coloring the last bit of the paper strip while it is flat before rolling. Less fiddling. Also use colorful magazine pages.
When I got my SCRAPPY CONTEST WIN- NINGS I went to Mom's so we'd open it together! There were a lot of thin strips of paper so we were trying to figure out what we could do & still HONOR PAM'S SCRAPS! 💡🏁NOW I KNOW!🎯🥢
I'm going back to Mom's this weekend & we'll be making lots of PAPER BEADS!🧮
So fun! I didn't have the skewer but I did have one of those orange sticks for nails, which worked perfectly. :)
Good Morning Pam !
Relaxing and Fun ! Thank you ❤️
I remember making these when I was little, all cute and super colourful, can’t wait to try making your swanky looking ones!
Wonderful!
My set is called Quilling tools. If that helps. Love the video, Pam. Thank you
Good Morning Pam, Sonny and the birds. sorry don't remember their names and to all Peeps. Pam, once again you have taught an old dog a new trick. Been doing this for a while now and never tried the paper beads. Can't wait to do it this afternoon. Thanks for all your ideas!
You are so welcome Alana! :)
How great and fun making paper beads, haven’t made any since some years. Thank you so much Pam for your always fun and inspiration, and for reminding me of having fun making them again.
I also made polymer clay beads, that is fun too, but needs baking.
Happy Crafting Pam & fam and everyone 🤩💖
This would be good for using up scraps.
Looks cool
Love a good bead making session. Now I need to use them all. Love your videos
These little beads are cute. I might make a few of these Pam. Thank you x
Friendly advice from a 4 year old trying to be sneaky!
"Don't watch me, watch Pam" 😄
Haven't made any paper beads yet but I've been watching videos... revving up my engine. 😸
A little tip: a long cotter pin is a fabulous tool for rolling paper beads. UA-cam has several tutorials on making a paper bead roller. They run the range of fancy wooden ones to simple ones made with wire hangers and a plastic container.
Sweet.
Just ordered some skewers! Thanks for another example of creative playing!!! Gonna make a gob!!! A repeat Pamster enjoying your "reckless abandon"! ♥
Have fun Rhonda!! :)
Love your paper beads! I’m definitely making some! I found some in a thrift haul that were smaller and so pretty and I’m gonna try those too! Love you guys! Tyfs!
👍😁 tfs..
Ahhh I love these...love making them. I made a ton of them and still using them...and so I'm watching 👀 to enjoy hearing and seeing Pam's process, while cleaning my room 🙃 😅
Yay, thank you!
@@ThePaperOutpost Thank you Pam! You're always inspiring and such a doll 💗💓
Good morning Pam😊
Super cute beads and I really like the edge colored with gold. Thanks for the project share! 🤗💕
I take adult coloring pages I did some years ago and cut them up to make beads. They are very colorful already!! I also cut the paper on an angle, like a long triangle starting at the wider end which makes the bead thinner on the ends and thicker in the middle so gives a different shape and look. You can experiment to see what you like best.
I use clear glitter nail polish ❤️
This is for anyone interested in using Braille paper. It's easy to make. All you need is cardstock & something with a small point. This can be as simple as a pen point, a large sized needle (darning/plastic canvas) or the end of a push pin. Use the point to make the Braille bumps, being careful to not punch a hole through the paper. Use this format to make it look authentic. All braille is written as a combination of 6 dots in a cell. The dots are arranged in 2 vertical rows. Check out a chart of the alphabet to get a better idea of how it looks
Mornin' Pam. Beads are so great to play with. Soooo many creative ways to decorate them. Regards to the menagerie and Papa too. Hope you all have a great day. 🌞
I used some of my washi tape.. it turned out really pretty
Oh how unique! I would have never thought to do this!! Will defin be adding them to my journals!! :)
Hello Pam love to watch your videos would magazine paper work for making beads or would it be to thin
I've used it. Just pay attention to how the paper feels as you roll it. Thin papers require a few more wraps around your rolling tool.
@@La1Senora thank you for the tip
you're so much fun
Thank you
Definitely sponge! The felt ate up my ink. lol 💜
Great idea for my ton of small scraps.
Hello Sushine 💖
Hi Pam & Sunny! As always, love your videos! Hey, I've been trying to find those little rings that you used (towards the end of the video) to put into the ends of the beads. What are those suckers called? I haven't been able to locate them. TFS
Gail A.C:
Those are called grommets or eyelet. They are on on Amazon for about $10. That typically comes as a set that includes the grommet punch tool. But you can buy those separately.
@@La1Senora Thanks! I couldn't think of the word "grommet" to save my life! 😄
Stick… lol a stick. But ya skewer. I absolutely love this and I have tons of braille and now I know how I can use up a few inches…lol
Loving the idea of Barbie cigarettes. It should be a new line 'Chain smoking Barbie and 'Likes a Drink' Ken' :D
You could color a few designs on the end before you roll,just be sure you begin on the naked end and roll toward the colored end.
