Coordinated Bead Sampler #5Completed by Gail Pennycuick

I printed the design onto quality matte paper and cut the bead shapes out. I rolled them following the instructions, using a bamboo skewer and PVA glue. I gave each bead a coating of glue when finished to give a light gloss look to them.

I used toothpicks embedded in polystyrene to dry them on, though this is not a necessity. In the photo I have shown the different shapes of the beads on the right hand side. I plan to make up a necklace and possibly a bracelet when I get some silver beads to put with them.

This design is striking when made up and the beads are quite easy to do.
