  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    Find one of your plastic file folders from school. This should be one of the thicker ones so the beads are more solid.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Cut the folder into strips that are the size of the bead that you want.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Now roll the plastic and glue down the end with hot glue. Hold until the glue cool or dip it in water.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Now, take your hot glue gun and begin to cover the out side with the hot glue. Use a motion going back and forth for maximum coverage.
    As you cover the bead dip it into your cup of water to cool it down so you can touch it.
