Large Shaped Oval Beads #1Completed by Peggy Stogdill

I printed the sheet twice (for matching pairs of beads) on lightweight paper, then used a cotton swab with one end cut off to roll the beads.

I used white glue on the strip for the last two inches, then wiped the glue over the whole bead, rolling it between my fingers for a few seconds, and let it dry, then strung several at a time on a wire and dipped them three times in a product made specifically for paper beads called Vibrance Paper Bead Glaze (drying between "dips").

I've also used other brush-on craft glazes and they all worked well too. I used one pair to embellish a bookmark from cup104122_487 and other beads from the sheet are also pictured. Paper beads-versatile, fun, beautiful and addictive :-)
