[@patriciamann3465]

I love this idea, I've done paper beads before but not with eyelets. You've inspired me again. Got my granddaughters tomorrow for the day, we are so doing this to make for their mothers day gift, necklace, braclet and earring. Thank you for sharing

[@shellyp8731]

These are amazing! I love how the clear embossing powder takes them to the next level...that glossy finish just makes them more elegant. They are the perfect finishing touch on your journals. I hope I’m brave enough to try! 🌸

Quite brilliant! I bought some beautiful paper beads like this from an African market, when we invited a children's choir to our church. I would never have imagined how they were made!! The embossing powder is genius! So glossy. 😃 So eager to see what you do with them 👍 Thanks. And you made it look so easy.

@@GerrysCraftRoom oh dear, that sounds like one of our Melbourne summers, it gradually gets hotter then a storm and cools down again, typical one f our summers.

[@creativegirl9710]

Great short-to-the-point video! I bet a person could make their own decorative paper using tissue paper, or home-made rice paper? Paint on it anyway they'd like, etc. I bet any clear coat varnish, Mod Podge, glitter Mod Podge, or hard coat Mod Podge, would work. I'm thinking this technique would work for handles on serving trays--just on a bigger scale.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

thanks💖 absolutely, DIY papers will be fun, the coat of embossing powder is a bit more Fancy and will make the beads smoother though. But your suggestions will give them a nice finish for sure as will the ones I show in the Spacer Beads video: ua-cam.com/video/BGAOUF4YlDM/v-deo.html And i love the way you think BIG, so cool😱

I've seen these made so many times, but never have myself. I'm going to take the plunge, and I'm happy I found your video! I haven't seen anyone else use the paper cutting trick, where you cut them into strips then diagonals; it looks like it would be much faster than cutting the triangle strips back and forth. I also love that you seal them with UTEE, it makes such a nice finish. Plus, it would dry faster than mod podge/sealer, etc. Thanks so much for the super helpful video!!
