Coordinated Bead Sampler #4Completed by Peggy Stogdill

I've tried several types of lightweight paper, but find I do best with just regular copy paper. The CUP tutorial is great, and with a little practice, these beads make up very quickly.

For these, I used a cotton swab with one end cut off to roll the beads as I wanted a fairly large 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.

I didn't make the double barrel bead this time, but cut the double strip into two as it then makes nicely sized oval beads, a bit larger than the small oval.

These beads are strung on knotted hemp cord accented with a strand of Swarovski crystal yarn-a lightweight and pretty summer necklace.

Be careful-this is an addictive craft!
