Hi Chelsea, Thanks for the comment on my magazine paper beads. This website is where I learned to do them
http://paperbeads.org/how-to-make-round-paper-beads-metal-roller/

I've used several variations with her technique. For the paper beads that I have posted on CO+K I only used 2 pages of magazine paper glued together at the short ends (so top of page glued to bottom of other page, rather than side to side like the video on the link shows) and then cut into thin triangle strips. I like to choose pages with similar colors, but the mismatched ones come out fantastic too! Also, I made my own rollers. Until I did that I just used metal skewers to roll on (be careful with wood skewers or your beads will end up glued to the stick!) Check out the rest of her stuff on her site there...it's addicting once you get the hang of it! If you have any trouble with it let me know and I'll help where I can. Sometimes it's a process of trial and error Happy
