As my side-hustle I have been making jewelry (and show clothes for entertainers), since the late 1960s. Today I am watching UA-cam videos as I power through making at least 250 pairs of earrings. (I haven't watched TV in years.) I retired from my full-time job of over 50yrs in 2020 related to '19'. I never strive for perfection. My items are handmade and I am proud of that. To date I have never had anyone complain about handmade items. (The price is a different story.) Your video was informative, entertaining, enjoyable and included humor. I cannot ask for more than that - especially since you shared your time and energy at no cost. I am a huge believer in Practice Makes Progress. I realize this video was posted years ago and you may not read comments this old but I find your personality and voice to be delightful and your unexpected bits of humor are a treat. New Subscriber.
Knitting needle Lolol. Not yarn stick. Loved this video. Lovely beads and great idea using the knitting needle to hold them. And the clear nail polish is genius. I have used Glossy accents and it was good. But messy. I like the idea of the polish. Thank you so much for sharing.
Saw this for the first time on UA-cam tonight. I really appreciate you being brave and sharing this craft with us! Don't discount yourself you do beautiful things. Your voice is soothing and I enjoy listening to you as much as I do watching your creations. It doesn't really matter if you know what the name of every tool is. What matters is that you enjoy what you're doing! You've inspired me to make paper beads again. My mother taught my sister and I had to do this when I was 8 which was 40+ years ago. Thanks again 💙
Found this video by accident. Just stayed watching. 😊 What a lovely find. You were so clear in your instruction, and a real pleasure to watch. Your beads are gorgeous! I need to make these now!! Thank you.
We might not have had UA-cam videos years ago but the crafting TV show with Aleene and her daughters started me on my crafting journey! I remember her making paper beads as well as "porcelain" roses out of white bread and glue. She was a pioneer! I'm enjoying your videos! ♡
I remember her show watched and recorded her shows on VHS tapes. I made the porcelain roses with her glue and white bread and acrylic paint, I even would get her craft projects in the mail and put them in a binder. That was many years ago brought back lots of crafty memories lol.
Beautiful beads!!! Well done!!! To maximize your pretty papers you can roll up your beads with any kind of paper, like maybe news paper, phone book pages, or store ads, etc and then roll a layer of your pretty papers on top, getting more beads out of your pretty papers. 🍃🤗🍃 frugal tip, lol
I use a lot of paper napkins with my decoupage crafts. When I want to use a napkin design for say, making paper beads, I just put a napkin flat in my copy machine and then I have a paper with the napkin design on it. I’ve done this with printer paper and with card stock for thicker beads.
Thank you so much! Simple with no special glues or finishes required! My kind of crafts!! and love your "technical" terms...snippy thing, yarn stick, etc. ❤
Your talent for the beads you make according the unique project you designed on your own is not "clumsy "! It is another expression of your crafting in the "paper bead" world! Thank you for sharing with your viewers!
FYI I have been making paper beads for years I have used all different types of sealers Modge Podge fingernail polish different types of resins I have found what works best and gives your paper beads more longevity and durability is a liquid wood hardener I dip all my beads into a liquid wood hardener for at least three coats drying in between each dip it is best to string your beads on fishing wire with a stopper on one end and a loop on the other so that you can hang them to dry
The uniqueness of crafting is doing it your way and coming out with something different from the crowd and getting great results by being totally different in how you do it. Thank you so much for your unique gifting. I didn't know how to do this but because of you, I learned something new.
This was fun to watch... it would make a great craft for young girls (or guys) to sell for fundraising... ie, clubs, 4H, sports, music groups. The materials are so cheap with fun final product!! Thanks for sharing this 👏👏👏
How lovely and fun. These turned out so pretty. AndcI followed you very very easily. Excellent tutorial. Don't wait to try this. I want to make thicker , longer ones to attach to a chain or breaded nylon strings to use as pull-chains to turn lamps on, or to turn on the overhead light bulbs in closets. Thank you so so so much!
You will be so addicted. LOL!!!! Paper beads are fun, creative and you dont need much to do it really. The tools you are using are great. Your knitting needle is very beautiful. LOL. I learned with an ice pick. Now I make my own paper bead rollers and paint my own paper. One thing is learn to eyeball your paper while you are rolling and maneuver your paper to go where you want without taking it off your needle. Just a couple tips, wet glue in a small bottle with a fine tip works best (one handed use) and try some triple thick glaze. It will not only make your beads shiny, it will also give them stability that you will love. I hope you totally enjoy this media as much as I do. You will find yourself looking at every magazine and scrap of paper before you throw them away. It is so refreshing to find someone excited about paper beads. Just keep doing them and you will get better and better at it. Good Luck. Loved the video. One other thing, I would put some glue on your paper at the very beginning as you are starting a bead. It will keep it from unraveling from the inside. Just a suggestion.
Wow, thank you so much for the awesome feedback and advice ♡♡♡♡ now I only wish there was more time in the day to do all these fun things hahahaaa ♡♡♡♡♡♡
You are such a darling :) The "blue tile" bead has a gorgeous pattern. I like to glue and coat my paper beads with simple white wood glue. It`s cheaper, you can buy it in bigger bottles, and it`s great for almost all paper projects. In case I want very shiny beads, I add a clear coat. Otherwise, the glue does both, it glues and protects the beads. Provided you apply it the same way as a clear coat. I`ve made quite some earring loops in my life and sometimes they still make me swear... I bet in front of a camera, I would fail miserably 🤣 Thank you for such a pleasant video!
Love your video! I didn't realize this was still a thing lol. I enjoyed making paper bead jewerly in my younger years..about 30 yrs ago lol Keep up the good work! You're doing an awesome job!!
This is a wonderful video. One little tip that I use is once I get the paper started on my tool I Put A little dab of art glitter glue and hold that for a little bit till it dries and that helps with the shifting
This was a nice tutorial. I did paper beads four years ago with my preschool disabilities classes and they turned out so nice that I still have one that was donated to me from one of the kids. I considered adding a tiny thread of glue down the entire length of paper when I saw your video. I am definitely going to try this because I have a grandchild now and she would love it. So many new ideas with this. I just subscribed
Wow! I'm impressed with your beads! I had been interested in trying... & I will try now because you made it look so easy & pretty!!! I make jewelry & loops are simple for me now, but not when I started!! Watch a "making simple loops" video, & you'll be glad you did, (less wear & tear on your fingers). These beautiful creations, I have not tried. Your beads are gorgeous, I thought they were ceramic beads!!
Great video. I make jewelry and have for years. Your struggle with the loops is still something I go through every once in a while, even now. It is what it is sometimes. I am doing the same nail hardener polish too and think it does well.
Hey there Lisa: Thank you for showing how to use the righy size yarn stick to seal paper beads with. I was using a smaller one, & they just kept sliding back & forth. And...thanks for telling us about the "fast drying nail polish". This type does make a big difference. I love your idea for making these journal assemblies. So cute! Your NOT clumsy. We all! have our own way of doing things! And your getting your style accomplished! You go! girl. Loved your video!
Fascinating. Being in my dotage I’m keen to learn something different, and this is a great new hobby to learn and maybe pass onto the craft group I occasionally attend
I totally get it about the Murphy's Law thing when trying to show how to do something. LOL One main reason I don't try to make how-to videos. It's hard enough when trying to show somebody something one-on-one, in person. Very pretty beads, by the way. I just started trying to make these a few days ago, and they are addicting! I started out making doggie bowties, then doggie flowers (for the dog collars), and now here I am trying to make pretty fabric and paper beads. What in the world I will do with them I have no idea, since I don't journal or do any scrapbooking or anything. Reckon I can hang them from the zippers on the purses I make. 🙂
Your beads turned out just beautiful. And I think you did a great job with the video. It was easy to understand and you had some really helpful tips. The nail polish is what really makes them look like glass or ceramic beads. I learned a lot from this thank you
Awesome 👍... Job.. Having fun and enjoy what we create.. 😀😀 Professionals need not apply... Lmbo 😀😀 Not being perfect i think makes them unique and a 1 of a kind .. great job .. LISA !!!! 👍👍👍💕💕🦋🦋🦋
Making loops is so much easier with full size round nose pliers. I started out with those little ones and I got frustrated and pinched. Very pretty beads, and explained so well. Thank you.
I have been making paper beads for a while, and yes like you just go for it, I would cut triangular bits of paper, and glue and nail varnish, but I used cocktail sticks and put them upright on Island to dry... so much fun.. and there are templates
They turned out so very pretty and high end looking. I just made some for the first time while watching your video although I used glitter nail polish. They turned out nuce but I would love to have some plain clear polish for that gorgeous glazed look.
Maybe some day I will make a video on my paper beads. I make them like nothing I have seen and they are water tight. Same kinda method but different Center and sealer. 🇨🇦
Hi Lisa. I use the word wonkie too! But I had fun watching how you make your beads and you have inspired me to give it a try. Have a Blessed Day. Jacquelyn
Using bobby pins are a great tool to use when making paper beads I buy a bundle of wooden chop sticks from the Asian market next to my home 🏠. And I glue a Bobby pin on the top 🔝 of one then I use the otherbchop sticks to hold the beads while they are drying and I have a styrofoam Circle that I just poke the Chopsticks in, they just stay there till they dry.
Your videos are wonderful! For your journals you can connect your beads with yarn or crochet thread and then glue the end in the back and then mark your page. Your yarn would have to be long so your beads could hang out the bottom. This is just one of many ways to hang beads. I also love your mug rugs and quilts. You are the best. Oh by the way if you use nail polish with glitter it can be very pretty too. Thanks again - I wish I could go camping with you.
BTW, your tools are called round nose pliers, flat nose pliers and wire cutters. It doesnt matter how cheap they are, they will still work as long as you dont try to make them do more than they were meant to. Not too thick head pins and not too hard. You do well for not doing this before. I am so impressed. Keep on keepin on Girlfriend. We will have you making fabric beads before long. (hint: they are made the very same way)
I started beading personalized wedding garters basically I hand bead on the fabric, silk or a poly blend to match the brides wedding colors, I will add small charmers etc. regarding the bride & grooms work or things they like. But I have never made my own beads from paper.
Bless your heart! I wanted to help you with your loop so badly, there is an easier way but, you did it!!! You are an inspiration, thank you for sharing.
I certainly have no experience with this but I did see a lady making clay beads and charms and she said not to use nail polish because it has a chemical that will eat into the paper or clay over time and cause it to disintegrate. She said it would yellow over time too. She suggested a coating manufactured for that purpose. That would be so disappointing, just thought I’d mention it. These are gorgeous and I will use your tutorial to try it. Thank you!
Old calendar pictures are usually bright & make great beads as well as the front page of your churches Sun. Bulletin with the order of the service for the morning.
Great video, I love how you use the clear nail polish apposed to having to use embossing and heat gun. I'm just discovering this technique and love how I can use what I already have on hand. Thank you so much !
Hi. New to your channel and loving it. A tip to make the loop at the end of your bead is to grab the wire at the end and turn your round nose pliers. It makes the loop much easier to make. Hope that helps.

THESE ARE REALLY NEAT. MY MOTHER WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL MADE BEADS OUT OF ROSE PETALS
i have never figured out how to keep rose petal beads smelling like ROSES!!
Woah!!! That sounds SOOOO COOL!!! Do you know how to make them?
I really enjoyed listening to you. I love the yarn stick....You did just fine. I learned quite a few new things from you.
Best basics of bead making video I have found yet. So many useful tips. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I love the way you are talking... and when you are laughing during talk.. I love it.. and your work too

Try Aleenes Tacky glue. I use it in quilling and it dries ALMOST instantly provided you only use a tiny bit, and holds well
KNITTING NEEDLE (lol-aka yarn stick)!!!!!!!

Old stamps wrapped around final layer of tube look good too- i find it easier on a toothpick and rolling towards me
It looks fun with all your learning experiences. Definitely I will try this craft. Thank you so much
The second bead looks like a piece of tile it's so beautiful thank you so much for sharing your video🌻🌺😄

Hi Lisa, I love that you enjoy doing a lot of different crafts, I do too. Thanks for sharing.

I have since tried it and it is fun and I think it's going to be addicting so thank you
Lol
Awesome 👍... Job..
Having fun and enjoy what we create.. 😀😀
Professionals need not apply... Lmbo 😀😀
Not being perfect i think makes them unique and a 1 of a kind .. great job .. LISA !!!! 👍👍👍💕💕🦋🦋🦋
Knitting needles are a great idea
Perfect description on how to do beads. Correct names aren’t important. Thank you

Great tip!
wow this so cool am try make one looks like fun.
I imagine painting on a couple of light coats of polycrylic would work in ace of clear nail polish. Just a thought. I really enjoyed watching this.
Just stumbled on your chanel... love the beads 👌
Great video! Loved the tutorial, and thought your creative process was captivating and original. 🥰🤩👍👍
Thanks so much 😊
Love your beads they turned out soooo pretty how cute to use knitting needles and the nail polish really makes them!! Great tutorial
Thank you so much!
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead You are so welcome keep creating beautiful things!!!
At least its not plastic so yeah, nice work. I love paper beads. ❤️
Thank you! 😊
I have been making paper beads for a while, and yes like you just go for it, I would cut triangular bits of paper, and glue and nail varnish, but I used cocktail sticks and put them upright on Island to dry... so much fun.. and there are templates

This is a great craft. Thank you for sharing!
I enjoyed your instructional video making these pretty beads!
I'm so glad!
They turned out so very pretty and high end looking. I just made some for the first time while watching your video although I used glitter nail polish. They turned out nuce but I would love to have some plain clear polish for that gorgeous glazed look.
Maybe some day I will make a video on my paper beads. I make them like nothing I have seen and they are water tight. Same kinda method but different Center and sealer. 🇨🇦
You did great! I really enjoyed your video ,laughed along the way cuz yeah we all make mistakes...lol
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you. Love this tutorial. You made it seem so possible to do this!
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful job, God bless you
Thank you! You too!
Very nice beads. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Cheers!
Oh wow, they are precious! A new craft to learn! Thank you for sharing your techniques, very easy to follow. Jan in MA
Oooh I just love your beads and your choice of paper! Beautiful!
Those would be great earrings you using majority of the things that you make earrings out of anyway! Nice job
Thank you! 😊
Handmade is not supposed to be perfect that's what makes the unique ❤️
I learnt to make these beads in fifth grade. I made a lot of necklaces out of colored magazine sheets. Good memories.
That is awesome!
That’s so cool I’m amazed at how you make them !
Thank for sharing, I love doing journals, and I too decide to add this to mine, and now I am making beads too
Hi Lisa. I use the word wonkie too! But I had fun watching how you make your beads and you have inspired me to give it a try. Have a Blessed Day. Jacquelyn
Using bobby pins are a great tool to use when making paper beads I buy a bundle of wooden chop sticks from the Asian market next to my home 🏠. And I glue a Bobby pin on the top 🔝 of one then I use the otherbchop sticks to hold the beads while they are drying and I have a styrofoam Circle that I just poke the Chopsticks in, they just stay there till they dry.
That's a great idea!
You could use sequins on end of the heads to cover the paper ends too.
Your videos are wonderful! For your journals you can connect your beads with yarn or crochet thread and then glue the end in the back and then mark your page. Your yarn would have to be long so your beads could hang out the bottom. This is just one of many ways to hang beads. I also love your mug rugs and quilts. You are the best.

You do well for not doing this before. I am so impressed. Keep on keepin on Girlfriend. We will have you making fabric beads before long. (hint: they are made the very same way)
Actually, those are not flat nose they are chain nose pliers. Flat nose are the same width from the hinge to the tip. -Jeweler.
love this!!!
Also you are using a knitting needle and a crochet hook.
I started beading personalized wedding garters basically I hand bead on the fabric, silk or a poly blend to match the brides wedding colors, I will add small charmers etc. regarding the bride & grooms work or things they like. But I have never made my own beads from paper.
The one with the book page looks like a tiny scroll.
So cute.
now that you mention it....it really does! Thanks for watching Cathy :)
Bless your heart! I wanted to help you with your loop so badly, there is an easier way but, you did it!!! You are an inspiration, thank you for sharing.
Thanks Lisa. Love it. 👍❤
Very pretty
Knitting needle ! Great presentation, thank you
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ thanks so much for watching along
Great tutorial. Thank you 🙏
I'd like to see how you attach your bead work to the journals.
It looks close enough on my iPad. Nice work
I certainly have no experience with this but I did see a lady making clay beads and charms and she said not to use nail polish because it has a chemical that will eat into the paper or clay over time and cause it to disintegrate. She said it would yellow over time too. She suggested a coating manufactured for that purpose. That would be so disappointing, just thought I’d mention it. These are gorgeous and I will use your tutorial to try it. Thank you!
Bellísimo!😊
Newbie here…. TFS…. You r delightful 🥰

Is perfect and pretty 😊😊👌👌

the wooden scuers kobab sticks work good
Great video, I love how you use the clear nail polish apposed to having to use embossing and heat gun. I'm just discovering this technique and love how I can use what I already have on hand. Thank you so much !
I have used the embossing powder and heat gun...but takes way to long for me hahahaa.......I'm a "let's get it done" kind of crafter hehehee
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead Thanks Lisa, I have leaned so much from our videos, thank you so much
These are great! Thank you for the tutorial!
Hi. New to your channel and loving it. A tip to make the loop at the end of your bead is to grab the wire at the end and turn your round nose pliers. It makes the loop much easier to make. Hope that helps.
Beautiful
