What you'll need:
- Scissors
- Magazines
- Glue
How to make it:
- Find colored full page ads in the magazines
- Cut triangle strips about 1/2 an inch to 1 inch wide at the bottom
- Starting at the wide end, roll the strip tightly
- Glue the tip and hold down for about 30 seconds
Tips:
A slight variation on how to make paper beads.
You find a picture you like in a magazine and using the scissors, cut one about 1" by 1" (2cmx2cm) square. Then you roll the square on the stick end of the paintbrush until there is only a little paper hanging down. Put glue on the paper that is hanging down, and roll it up, and then pull it off!
