You Will Need (3 things)

  • Flyers
  • Scissors
  • Glue

Steps (4 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    -Choose your material, it will work with old flyers, magazines covers, cardboard food boxes...

  2. 2

    -You´ll need from 6 to 8 pieces for each bead. If you want circular beads (like the earrings ones) you´ll have to cut 6/8 circles of your desired size (but all equals). If you want tube beads (like the necklace ones) you´ll need to cut 6/8 rectangles of your desired size.

  3. 3

    -When you have all your circles/rectangles cutted, fold them in halves.

  4. 4

    -Glue them forming the bead. Be carefull, you must leave space in the middle so the thread can go in!
