I love using this technique to make beads for my dreadlocks, it's cheap, easy and controllable wrapping various tissue paper around them also look quite nice Happy

These are great! Instead of painting them you can roll them over strips of magazine pages for color while still wet. Then string them up and make a cheap and easy custom beaded doorway! btw, I LOVE THIS BLOG!! Keep up the great work!

Nice, quick, cheeeeep - thanks, Cat! You can also make beads of printed cloth by wrapping it around a soda straw. Paint with white glue. Add glitter. Cut the covered straw into beads when it's dry.
