Recycle paper and make some beads :D
(this is my first project I submit on cutoutandkeep)

This is an easy and cheap project.
It's recycling with paper.
With these paper beads you can make necklaces or bracelets.

(don't be mad about my (maybe) bad English)

    On the end of the stroke you have to do some glue, then roll it up to the end.
