Tools and Templates for Paper Beads

If you haven't tried to make paper beads before, you can start off by just using a toothpick or small knitting needle to wrap the paper around. Below are some pictures of tools you can purchase if you decide to make them on a larger scale. There is also a video on how to make using a toothpick a little easier also.

This is the video I mentioned above. You could add some tape to one end to make it a little easier to hold onto. Also you could do this with a wooden skewer and make a larger handle to be kinder on your hands.

Following is instructions and some basic templates for different styles of beads. Once you have them down you can google for more templates or try playing around with different ideas.

I am looking forward to trying these out and will post my own work, mistakes and all, once I have done some.
