Coordinated Bead Sampler #2Completed by Gail Pennycuick

I printed the design onto quality matte paper and cut them out. I rolled the beads following the instructions, using a bamboo skewer and PVA glue.

I coated the finished bead with the glue also and put each to dry on toothpicks embedded in polystyrene, although you can do without it.

I decided on a pattern by laying the completed beads out and adding a mixture of gold and green plastic beads between them, which I threaded onto some tiger tail.

I attached a clasp and eye, along with crimping beads, at the ends.

For the bracelet I used stretchy clear stringing thread and just used green beads in between each paper one, then tied off the ends.

I pulled the knot so that it sat under one of the beads. This bright design looks delightful when the beads are made up and they are easy to do. I shall be making many more of them.
