Coordinated Bead Sampler #1Completed by Peggy Stogdill
Printed on regular copy paper. I printed the sheet on lightweight paper, then used a cotton swab with an end cut off to roll the beads as I wanted a generous sized hole.
I used white glue on the strip for the last two or three inches, then wiped the glue over the whole bead, rolling it between my fingers for a few seconds, and let it dry.
I used a small paint brush to apply a couple of coats of Glossy Accents.
To make the card, I strung 3 of the beads onto satin ribbon (poking the ribbon through the holes with a toothpick), then wrapped the ribbon around embossed card, taping it securely in the back, and attaching it to a blank card with dst.
I also put a bit of glue under each bead and the ribbon ends on the front of the card.
I used pieces of the tube bead papers, put them through my crimper, and attached them with dst. Finished with a peel-off sentiment.
These beads are so fun and there's a zillion ways to use them :-)
