Small Oval Beads #4Completed by Peggy Stogdill

I printed the sheet four times on lightweight paper, then used a round toothpick 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").

It gave them a hard, shiny, water resistant finish. With a little practice, these beads can be made very quickly. It's so much fun to watch the patterns emerge on the beads.
